[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in line at customs in Dulles recently. Two young men in front of me asked the man in front of them if they could borrow his pen to fill out a form. The man said something like, "actually, no, i can't, sorry, i really value this pen." I am a very non-confrontational person, typically, but I was so astonished by this that I actually spoke to the man. I pulled a pen from my purse and handed it to the young men and said something like "here, you can use my pen" and to the man I said "are you serious? you can't let them use your pen for 2 seconds to fill out this form?" He said something like "it's a very expensive pen! if you knew how expensive this pen was, you would understand." I said something like "Are you serious, we're in line here at customs, they aren't going anywhere, they aren't going to steal it."  The man didn't say anything.

Do you think this guy was being a complete asshole?[/quote]

No, and I think you were out of line to confront him. [/quote]
