[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again -  even if you think I was an asshole for saying something to the man, do you think that the man was being a bit of one, too, in not allowing someone to borrow his pen under those circumstances?[/quote]

No, as PPs have already explained--it's ok to politely decline.  it doesn't make you an asshole, under these or any circumstances.  [/quote]

Wow. I guess I have a lot to learn, then.  I would never deny a request to borrow my pen if it was going to be used to quickly sign a form, right next to me, by someone who was not going anywhere (because in line at customs).

I appreciate the honesty of your responses. [/quote]

Well that's fine.  Would I lend someone my pen?  Sure.  But I certainly wouldn't berate someone for not lending out a pen, FFS.  At most I would internally roll my eyes.

OP, you must go through the day exhausted if you get so morally outraged about minor incidents.[/quote]

I was not "morally outraged."  I was very surprised at what I perceived to be the extreme rudeness of the denial, and spoke up (as I realize now I should not have, as you have all educated me, thank you), which is something I don't typically do.[/quote]
