What is rude in one country may well be perfectly acceptable in another.
The Greeks for eg cannot not form an orderly cue for anything, they would still rush to be lined up by the Gustapo. If ever there is a boat or plane boarding they really piss me off bc they run and huddle up like cattle round the boarding gate and Im left standing at the back like a lemon bc Im English and I cue. Spot the sucker!
No one means to be rude its just their way. Italians are snobby and the height of bad taste. The French well they have to excel at something. Germans are boring and of course us Brits depending on our class are either drunken hooligans or eccentric, or in my family both, mad drunk hooligans the lot of them The Yanks are loud and vulgar :O
There are stereo types and there are cultural differences but it doesnt make one better than the other. Many of these little misunderstandings would cause rows between my husband and I early on in our relationship. You need to be flexible especially when travelling.
