Yeah its really make me feel so bad after that I asked my bf why they are like that. My bf says it was because they are in a uniform and in the authority to sit and check each people coming to thier country they think they have the right to be rude and not treating people in a nice way. I understand them checking people coming and doing thier job good I agreed to them asking me questions yeah, but laughing at me after they make me feel helpless and worried that is I cannot undestand.
Sadly people in Uniform are just as bad all over the world.
One having seen all the stamps in my passport were in a neat row for no reason stamped them so it took out the rest of the page. not that it really matters to me but you could tell he was annoyed.
Why beacuse he seemed to be a bit peed off with the two ladies in front of my wife that spoke English to him as they had a small kid with them and my Wife spoke English to the ladies and child as well
The mintue a uniform or a bit of power gets involved people from all round the world become prats
the only time i've come close tosomeone in many years, was when the misses first came to the uk, when we were queueing at immigration, i went thru first in the brit queue, and waited near the exit door for my misses, incase their was a problem, a guy, i don't know who he was, security guy or immigration officer, told me i couldn't wait, i had to go thru the door, told him i was waiting for my wife, told me i couldn't, i was getting
, just been travelling nearly 20hrs, and you get some
, telling me i cannot wait for a minute, this went on a couple of minutes, then he asked me a question, and said to me the answer is 'thank you', i just
at him and walked thru the exit..
no need, i should have gone in same queue as the misses..
If you think that UK immigration officers are rude, you obviously haven't encountered the American counterparts.....
They don't have to work at beings, it comes natural to them.
And this, years before 9/11......
I wondered about that. Although in Leeds it should be a relatively short queue, I intend to go through with Pia as we are married with the same family surname. I usually see the same guys o i hope that they won't be stroppy with us.
The way they behave in US is unbelievable. The weirdest ones I have met have been in Ukraine. The female immigration and security staff wear mini-skirts and high-heels but don't let that fool you; they can be quite severe and carry a frightening array of weapons.
Be responsible with little so that you can be trusted with much!!

Just check with the staff on the day as when i asked in gatwick one time i was told yes they could let my wife go though the EU channel but it might cause problems with other customers in the non EU was it really urgent?
As we were in no hurry i just left it. They may be happy to do to for you but depending on who is about may hesitate due to the implications if someone complains.
In Terminal 4 LHR i was told after the first time into the UK the non EU spouse could come though with the eu spouse in the right queue. The guy was being supervised by his boss at the same time. In terminal three when the non eu queue was busy quite often we are allowed over the the eu queue when i ask.
The first time they have to go though the non eu due to the medical check and the form they hand to your spouse to take to the medical centre, which im pretty sure they dont do at Leeds.
Most of the problem was with the officer having the correct stamp, the supervisor at gatwick told me. Otherwise they end up running backwards and forwards which if everyone did it would cause chaos.
Our Heathrow experiences I just have to add due to where we live in a heathrow satellite town I do notice we get treated a little different by quite a few staff some of them are literally neighbours.
