I was once doing glass/aluminum recycling between classes and night job on a large campus, which was heavy work. Empty bathroom. There are half a dozen sinks and one big metal tub I was washing the bins in. Some young Russian puchi suka walks in and squeezes right in front of me. I was on the job and had a reputation to uphold and just waited.

In Greece at the Acropolis I was standing by a long wall with a view over the city. A young Chinese couple pushes in front, right where I'm standing, and starts talking to each other loudly. The entire wall is empty and it's a long way down. I just moved over. Not going to mess up my good experience.

In the airport, long line for the check-in and I'm near the front, a middle age Chinese couple causally walked up and stood in front of me. Just slip right in nice and quiet. I said hey there and politely explained there was a line and all these people were waiting. A couple times. And a couple more times. This guy spoke acceptable English and wasn't going to take no for an answer. After receiving some insults I went into semi-buck mode and started looking him up and down hard squared off getting closer. Wife was grabbing at him. I had my say and turned away. They left. Someone behind said thanks. If they were desperate or good actors and late for a flight I would have let them in.

In summary: People who are rude for no greater purpose. That includes myself sometimes.
