I just wish more people here, not us foreigner trouble-makers but locals, would kick up a fuss when such things happen and then, in time, others would realise that such behaviour won't be tolerated. At the moment, everyone grins and bears it whilst inwardly seething! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long and short of it all, we were held up with the wife going crook, me sitting on their baggage escalator grinning at the situation and a little sheila behind the counter requesting me to move so she could check other people in. No way hosa, not our fault someone had buggered up. It took less than five minutes to rectify the problem and we were on our way back to Oz were rudeness and incompetence just doesn't happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a few visits I learned that patience was absolutely necessary for a good stay in the PI. How has your patience been affected by your time in the PI.? I know we all have some good patience stories. Great topic. I use to get so utterly irritated with the guys that think you can't park your own car without their help..waving you in..telling you when you're far enough into the spot. I used to not tip these guys but now I do. My GF made me chill. Get used to the way people live here or be irritated. I chose the latter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you park your car they will take care of it so best to tip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like when you tell them your car has an alarm so you don't need someone to keep an eye on it, then they reply " yes but can your alarm put out fires?

True but I knew a guy at work that did not pay a parking "attendant" in the US. Came to a broken window - and no witnesses... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
