It would be rude not to tell people they're misbehaving
It seems rudeness just keeps rising to new levels. People are so focused on themselves that they don’t care for others.
I have, on several occasions, seen people push into queues at shopping malls and other public places. Most people are polite and wait their turn but these people simply don’t care. However, there are people who request to go first if they are in a hurry and we realise that and give them preference. That, to me, is the best way of understanding and respecting each other.
We must correct people on their behaviour otherwise they will continue to be rude because they think this is right.

“I've been in Dubai six and a half months, and already figured out that even though the country may be advancing, people here are still 'backwards' and queuing is a concept they haven't yet mastered... now who's gonna tell me that if i don't like it, go back to my own country..? lol”
