Sayed Kashua : Airport etiquette, Britain vs. Israel
Talkback
Title:Post Airport Rudeness at McDonalds
Name:Galilee Green
City: GalileeState:
I`m an American living in northern Israel and after my family returned from the States and landed in Ben Gurion, we stopped off at McDonalds, on the road, to get the kids some burgers. I was waiting on line for several minutes behind maybe 8-10 people, while leaving some space between me and the people ahead of me. After a while, a young lady and her boyfriend moved in, kind of laterally ahead of me. When my turn at the counter was nearing, I told the lady that I was there before her. She insited that she did not butt in and that I was wrong. She arrogantly and resolutely dismissed whatever I said, not humble enough to give me the benefit of the doubt. I told her that her agressiveness was amazing and that such an experience, one hour after landing, was disappointing. Her response? She told me, "go back to America."
