Sam mentioned :
.............. An actor entered... sat next to a man eating at the
counter... and without saying a word... grabbed some french fries
off the man's plate.
This scenario was repeated numerous times... and nine times out of
ten, the "victims" never said a word. One could see that they were
doing a slow burn inside... they clenched their fists and glared at
the "thief" in disbelief. But they never said a word.

Sam,
if such a thing were to happen with me (an average Indian guy), I would
never shut up and 'boil inside'. I would kindly ask the actor if he was
hungry and offer to buy him some more. If I suspected he was a mad case, I
would ask the hotel guys to throw this fellow out. If he was rude to me, I
would get into a fight with him, and doubtlessly be supported by all the
onlookers, taking sides, and making it a good slanging match...
I guess the 'silent' response is typically western (not indian) because of
the excessive need for privacy / non interference in others affairs. (In
India, what you do is everybody's business !)
