What's the angriest you've been on a trip?

I'm curious to know what really pissed people off while on vacation. <br><br>A few examples of mine:<br><br>1. I was on a bus in Bolivia and this older Bolivian couple refused to let me sit in the only available seat on the bus, despite there being no one else to fill said seat. They rolled their eyes, looked at me and said "no, that's mine" while their husband sat there looking like an idiot (I was dumbfounded at how rude that was). I stood up for the entire bus ride while an empty seat sat there.<br><br>2. My girlfriend and I were eating in a restaurant in Lhasa one night. At the table next to us were some older, very very rude Chinese women. They would constantly make faces at us, laugh and snicker whenever we tried ordering food, and even opened the door to the dining room just to get a peak at the kitchen, just to laugh and snicker at the Nepali cook. One of them even lit a cigarette up in the dining room while other people were eating. When we finished our meal and were leaving, she coughed on me and my girlfriend, while laughing with the others. We were so fed up we walked up to the counter and told the owner that the table next to us consisted of the rudest people we've ever met, and that if she wants to keep getting international customers, she should do something about rude people like them. <br><br>3. Me and two friends were on a train going from southern China to Nepal, and there were these four Chinese who got on at one of the stops in western China. They immediately claimed the four seats around us, despite there being no one else in that car. One guy even took the window seat next to my friend, solely so he could stare at his phone out the window. When we got fed up and told them to find their own seats instead of trying to surround us, they got very angry and yelled at us in Chinese, which we couldn't understand and just laughed. They called the train staff over who simply looked at us and told us to be quiet and stop complaining, despite there being over a hundred empty seats in that car alone. So we got up and moved to a different car, where the Chinese guy working in the dining car for the train approached us and started criticizing us for complaining about those four, saying "they're just trying to find a seat".<br><br>4. Me and my girlfriend were in Nanjing and went to a restaurant for hot pot. We were sitting there waiting for our food, and I got up to go to the bathroom. When I walked back, a Chinese couple had taken our table and were eating the food we ordered. When we told them that it was our table and our food, they simply looked at us like idiots and told us to get lost. We then went to the front desk, where the staff simply shrugged and told us that they could do nothing about it. Me and my girlfriend were so fed up we sat at the front desk and told the staff to call the manager. When she came, we explained the situation, and she brushed it off, saying that it was our fault for not ordering private rooms. I'm not kidding you, she said it was our fault. We got up, took the receipt she gave us for the food we never ate and cancelled the order, telling her "fuck you" and stormed out. <br><br>These are just a few examples, and I know that most of you won't have issues like I did since I was living in Asia for those, but still, would love to hear your stories.
