but it's usually old women who feel the need to re-arrange year's worth of receipts in their purse. Same women who get to the supermarket tills, then start rumaging around for their purse, as if they didn't expect to have to pay...

TBH, I must say I hate it when people just **** about at a cash machine as if it requires a degree to operate, or looking at it as if it's 'foreign'. Regardless of where they were from, a little bit of patience would go along way, if someone is genuinely struggling, or a bit of help if absolutely necessary. There's a world of difference between someone pissing about, and someone struggling.
As for bigging up the old guy, I'd almost do the same if he'd hurried someone up who was just faffing about, but I still can't say that I'd support such an attitude of telling someone to **** off. I hate queues as much as the next person, but I've still got enough respect for others not to take that tone, regardless of how much someone might **** me off.
I hope when I'm in a foreign country, the natives have a little more patience with me if I was to struggle with their language, and heaven forbid, hold them up for a short time.
