On Queuing Up (Part 1)

I hate people who jump queue. (except when driving, as I'm one of those who 'cut' queue hehe) At Tesco today, there's this Middle Eastern tourist who jumped queue and just sneaked infront of me like nothing happened. Unfortunately for him, I'm not a person to bully, especially when it comes to lining up.

I looked at him and asked: 'Excuse me?'
He said in God-knows-what language: 'kee kee ku ku kee kee ku ku' (pointing at the other counter and then this counter)
I smiled at him and shaked my head: 'No, please queue up' (pointing behind me)
He said something else again in his language, probably cursing me. I still shaked my head and insisted he got to queue up.
When my turn came, I put my stuff on the cashier counter. At the same time, he threw his stuff onto the counter to show his anger. Too bad, I wasn't scared at all. I turned, glared at him, rolled my eyes and snorted. I believe I must have shown a really 欠揍 face to him but who cares?! Anyway, luckily I didn't end up being beaten up by him. Haha...
Now that I think back, I might have just spoilt Malaysian's 'friendly' image to tourists. However, jumping queue is just plain wrong. Why should we give exception to tourists right? This reminded me of another incident where the local jumped my queue when I was in China, and we got into an argument... but that's another story....
