A funny thing happened..
..to me today at the cash machine,pulled up and their was a que,consisted of 1 old guy about 70 and 2 eastern europeans,anyway after the 2 easterns had spent 2-3 minutes talking to each other in their native tounge,it came clear that they didnt know how to use the machine so the old guy in front of myself asks them and I quote "is there any f*ucking chance of you's 2 f*cking tryin another machine,people are waiting".I was quite taken back and amused by this so the 2 easterns moved on looking very confused.
And they say this generation has no manners.

Come on, if someones struggling then just be patient. Its not like they were probably hogging it for the fun of it. Just remember that when youre in another country trying to work something out and their locals have alot more patience added to the fact they'd probably try to help you too.

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.

I gotta say, you are right about the old fella being a bit rude (what the hey, no one was killed) but it must have been a comedy situation to witness!

Jimmy, good on your wife, I think she is defending herself more than being rude, there's no harm in that at times, even if it does make you cringe.
OS, you know me... for some strange reason, work brings out the worst in me.
