The ingratitude of Eastern Europeans

On the way home from work on Friday evening, I saw a guy walking along who I thought I recognised as a colleague. So I pulled over to give him a lift into town.

But when I stopped and greeted him I realised it wasn't a colleague at all. However having already pulled over and opened the window I thought I'd better offer him a lift into town. The guy hopped into my car and as it turned out he was Eastern European but spoke very good English. He had a plastic bag with him and every few minutes he kept looking into the bag. By way of making conversation I asked him what was so interesting in the bag and he said "None of your f**king business".

I thought well, that's nice I'm doing this guy a favour and he talks to me like that. Anyway he continued to peer into the plastic bag. A few minutes later I thought I can't let this go and said "ah c'mon, what's in the bag?"

"None of you f**king business!" he replied again.

I thought well, that's enough and made an excuse that I was turning left here and told him to get out. I knew by his expression that he was cross at me and he got out of my car without saying a word. Has anyone else on this board experienced such in gratitude from Eastern Europeans?

Anyway, I had the last laugh because he left the plastic bag in my car!
