Totally Estúpido! Part 18
Gibraltar is a British territory at the southern tip of Europe; the airport is literally a few yards from the border with Spain.
I’m waiting at Gibraltar Airport for a flight back to the UK, and we’re told that a storm has knocked the radar out and we need to cross into Spain where buses are waiting to take us to Malaga Airport.
We’re fast-tracked through the border post and board the buses. We’re ready to go when there’s an altercation at the front of our bus. An elderly English guy is getting irate with the Spanish driver about stowing his bag.
Passenger: “I don’t understand what you’re saying! Speak English!”
Driver: *In Spanish* “I don’t speak English. I only speak Spanish.”
Passenger: “Well, we’re not in Spain. You should be able to speak English.”
Rest Of The Bus As A Chorus: “YES, WE ARE!”
The passenger shuffled onto the bus. The last remaining seat was right at the back, so he had to run the gauntlet of all the other passengers glaring and muttering for holding the bus up.
