In the spirit of full disclosure.....
I have looked back on some prior blog entries and realized that I have griped about being cut in front of in queues here in India. I won't apologize for any of that - I meant it. For that matter, there are no queues in India, only semi-circles that vacillate in shape and scale as people jockey for their own position.
With that said....
I'll admit that once or twice a month I get called up to the front of one of these semi-circles and served before people that have been waiting longer than I have. And I walk up with apologizing.
Is that wrong, or is it my chance for pay back?
I guess I know the answer to that one.... it's wrong. And it stems from how I look, which is also wrong. And I also know that I'll do it next time I am offered the chance. Which is also wrong.
Maybe I am also going native in ways that are not so good.
