Pearls of the Aegean

It's a very sad thing, but some people don't really deserve to go on holiday, let alone traverse the ancient wonders of the world. Why? They bring their behaviour with them.

Whilst our guide was telling us about the history of the Parthenon and pointing out parts of it's design, a scuffle broke out in the crowd at the back our excursion party, the first we knew was shouts of "You pushed me", "You pushed my wife". They nearly came to blows. Children please.

The photo above depicts the three participants. The guy in the hat and the lady in the loud shirt were an American couple from our cruise ship. The twat in the T-shirt took real exception to being shoved. (I actually think that what started it was someone accidentally stumbling on the uneven ground outside the Parthenon, but rather than brush it aside as an accident twat in the T-shirt has to make an issue of it).

The guide interceded with the shouting started and said that everyone else wanted to hear what was going on and they didn't need to be exposed to childish behaviour like that. But Pin was standing closer to the incident than me, and she later overheard T-shirt twat standing behind the American gentlemen and saying "I'm going to make your life hell back on the ship"!!

After the talk, T-shirt guy continued following the American couple around the ancient site and hassling them further. The American lady was telling him to go away when I took that shot, you can probably tell from her body language. He just had this massive chip on his shoulder - the complete ASSHOLE! He did later apologise to everyone when we got back on the coach following a small shopping diversion, but what a complete twat he was to let it get so far in the first place!

I really hope that T-shirt Twat finds this blog entry at some point in the future and feels rightly embarrased by his behaviour.
