Not that it would justify it at all, but was he Australian? I like to imagine this bewildered a-hole getting increasingly pissed at what he perceives as a transgression of social boundaries by every Australian he meets on his holiday.
It was a long time ago but I don't remember him having an accent.
How dare they ask me how I'm doing! None of their damn business!
Like going to England and responding tothe greeting "orright" with anything other than "orright". NO IM NOT "ORRIGHT" EVERYONE KEEPS ASKING ME IF IM "ORRIGHT".
Also they get real confused if you respond with "I'm great thanks mate how are you?"
They're saying it wrong. The question is: "yerright?" which could be interpreted as "are you alright?" but has enough wiggle room for "you are right" and "I acknowledge your rights".
Easy.
