If a machine malfunctions or isn't responding, most people would say something along the lines of, "Excuse me, but I think your machine isn't working, can you help?"
But a surprising number of people do this: they will either swagger up with a smug look, or stomp over with catbuttface, and spit, "So, what, the machines don't work here or something!?"
I don't know why it riles me up so much. It's not only rude, but the way they say it presumes that we are somehow purposely making their day more inconvenient, just 'cause! I feel like saying, "Yep, they don't work and you were none the wiser! Isn't that hilarious??" or "We are evil and want to take all your money, muahahaha."
To top it off, 99% of the time the machine isn't malfunctioning at all, their dumb ass just forgot to lock the door (or something equally stupid).
