These freaking locals are really a study case. In some things they're really nice, but in others they just suck.

Point in question: their annoying custom of boarding trains / elevators / busses / shopping centers, etc. following their golden rule "ME FIRST".

This morning I was about to leave my place of residence. To do this, I have to open by hand some glass door. I saw a local young guy at the opposite side of the door, but strangely enough, he wasn't trying to open it by himself. I thought maybe he's just waiting to meet some friend outside. But as soon as I opened the door, he tried to come inside EVEN BEFORE I'D GONE OUT, AND WHILE I WAS HOLDING THE DOOR (not holding the door by himself)! What a fucking idiot.

Then a couple of days ago, again in my place of residence, I was in the bottom floor of the building, and went to the elevator. I pressed the button to call it, and patiently waited in front of the button panel (not directly in front of the elevator door). While I was at it, some very impatient local guy came, and was walking in circles, at one point he was waiting for the elevator right in front of me, then more circles, etc. Then he finally settled to wait right in front of the elevator door (just a few inches from the door).

Then came from behind a friend of his... When the door finally opened, there was an old white guy inside. Like I said, we were in the bottom floor, so obviously, whoever appears behind those doors will want to get off. The two local guys instead of opening some space for the old guy to come out, they crammed inside before this poor old fellow could come out! He complained a bit like saying in English "Hey, what's your problem?".

The two idiots replied very thoughlessly "What do you mean our problem". "If you are polite, you should wait for people who are trying to come out". (That makes sense, and isn't asking for too much, isn't it?) "No, we are not polite, fuck you".

I'm not kidding you the local guys finished the conversation by yelling at the polite old guy "Fuck you". I couldn't believe all that was happening right in front of my eyes...

But that was not all... Guess what? The two mother fuckers had caused all of that just to go one floor up! And the stairs were just next to the elevator, and don't need to wait anything!

With people like that, it's no wonder this is a third world country.
