Of course we're building walls around ourselves
How else are we to keep the common folk out?

I take your point though, it's probably just a sign of our excessive politeness and the unwritten rule that people will form a queue whenever it seems sensible. (Though I still reserve the right to rail at people who don't see the common sense in letting people get out of the lift/bus/train first...)

Yes, I do that too
I get very frustrated trying to go out of the train with my bike when there's a lot of people blocking the door. And I don't think they're all Spanish, no.

Then, I am, so I deal with it shouting and ringing my bike bell and asking them how they're planning to get in if I'm right there, with my bike, and they don't let me out, and that they have 10 whole minutes, can't they spare a few seconds!!??

And it's times just like that
when I envy the ability of Mediterranean folk to yell at a complete stranger. I always want to, but it's just so unbecoming...

You feel so liberated!
It has some problems, this being pasionate, sometimes. Like when I'm talking with Mark about something and he thinks I'm upset just because I'm talking loudly. Bah.
