Yesterday evening was really a tough evening for me - yeah, besides the problem I had with Doud, I am having terrible pain in my leg.
Anyway, my point is:
I went to Hot Cross Buns at 5.30pm on the way home to get some buns for for dinner the following day. So after selecting what I wanted, I queued up at the counter.
Ahead of me were 2 ladies, so I was 3rd in line.
Then a stupid foreigner guy came in the shop, took his bread and proceeded to the counter, and decided to make his presence felt by standing NEXT to the 2nd lady. He looked like a gangster (they all look like assholes to me).
After the 2nd lady paid, it was obviously my turn, but since this asshole was probably thinking to himself: HEY I AM A FOREIGNER, AND FOREIGNERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO CUT QUEUE, so with all the screwed mood I had, and the pain I was suffering, I really wasn't prepared to let him cut lah. at the moment I really wanted to create a scene.
So anyway, I poked the man and said, excuse me it is my turn and I am sorry you have to queue behind me, when suddenly the lady cashier said to him, Sir, its not your turn, you have to get back, and looked at me saying "Sir; it's your turn".
To be honest, she just avoided big scene in the place by this, coz the foreigner took his place behind me and I wasn't so happy with it, but however I was too close show him my ass and tell him to "KISS THIS!!"
But of course, I remained calm la. Put my tray on the counter and paid. And when she handed the plastic bag to me, she looked at me and said "Thank you VERY MUCH! you have showed quite a gentleman act despite the fact that you seemed to be welling to create a problem" and gave me a big smile.
That was strange, so I asked her "I don't get it, how did you know what I was thinking?!" She answered with the same smile on her face "we sniff this out!!!."
Meanwhile, that asshole was standing beside me, and he was really pissed off this time. After I took my bag and while i was walking away, he basically SHOVED his bread to the cashier over the counter.
Now, I always wonder what is it that majority of foreigners people have a problem with "Queuing Up" ah? I mean I was foreigner too once, but from what I have experienced dealing with people in queues in my life, is that 99% of the time when a person who cuts queue, it's always a FOREIGNER.
I asked my fined this question too last night, and he always felt the same thing. How come Foreigners are SO FUCKING RUDE? or are they just plain stupid?
QUEUE UP lah. It's really not that hard, you know? Geez.

Hey Man, we do that all the time
whenever we travel we acted like we don't have to follow the rules.
this is something in blood:)
Well.. Lee
I travel a lot and never done that, you always must follow the rules of the country you are visitng.
I don't agree on what emmy said.
Sometimes as forigner you have to disobey the system and yet respect it.
Leo, I would do what this guy did in the market and yet i am sure you won't get agree that a hot sexy woman has cut you off :)
How would you disobey and yet respect.
Anyway, debbi; Leo is a married man so i think your choices are quite little to let you cut off :)
Correct me if i am wrong LEO
Leo.
A Traveler like those people, they usually change their residency couple of hundreds times so thewy can't keep track on the local regulations
