I have seen a lack of etiquette in the collection of items.
If you are both heading for the same item and they get there first, so be it. First come, first served.
I may be old fashioned, but I feel it is not acceptable for someone to slide under you and take the item.
I am sure quite a few people have a slight lag in their browser and need to click it a few times before it registers.
Now you may say "every man for yourself" or "you snooze you lose", but remember this:
Nadirim is a finite universe and there are some vindictive people in it (of which I am not).
So one day you will have that "HELP ME" sign flying high and someone will join the combat long enough to type "remember when you took those red berries right from underneath me" before they leave you to your fate and go on their merry way.
I on the other hand will help you and at the end will say "remember this moment the next time you find it necessary to take a collection item out from underneath someone"
