For all the people I had dealt with at work for four years as a frontliner in a bank, I've never encountered such a person who always demoralized me every time he came. He's an American, a foreigner in my country, Philippines. He just started as a bank client in the branch I work at just a month ago and since then he's been always mad, rude, delusional (yes, he even made stories about the way I acted towards him), very very very hard to deal with or perhaps even crazy or someone with behavioral issues. What can I say, I think he needs to go to an "anger management" program or put behind bars or better yet be dead which could be good news to me. My officemates were even victimized of his sarcasm but among us I'm the one who got the worst confrontation. We realized that he usually snaps everytime we inform him of the bank requirements needed for his transaction to push through, and once we triggered the ticking time bomb, the rest of our day will be miserable. We even suspected him that maybe he's a wanted criminal in his country who escaped here. If that's the way he talk to people then most likely he probably have plenty of enemies back in his hometown looking for him or made an offensive crime. It's quite questionable how he ended up being here and got involved in a small-scale home/computer-based business he partnered with a Filipina who is more than twenty years younger than him, but she's no help at all, she doesn't say anything when he snaps and I sensed that she seem scared. I've been patient with his usual bad behavior thrown at me however recently he said the "F word" to my face. I didn't do or said anything that is offensive or even less. Now I just had enough of his ridicules.. I realized it's not healthy anymore for me and my officemates emotionally and psychologically. All the other staffs and supervisors are even afraid to face him. I need to do something about it, this is not his country and I feel I have every right to teach him a lesson. I would be brave enough to deport him to U.S. if only I know there is some kind of a law against foreigners demoralizing the locals, and to what grounds or extent for the locals to file a report against them and most importantly to whom or where should we go?

Shame on him! He doesn't have a right to act that way since he's not even in his territory. If I were you, I will give him what's due to him. Actually, I'm not generalizing all Americans but even here in China some of them really act superior. Maybe that's part of their culture and they are used to being authorative. To think they're not even a citizen of this country or our country. Wonder why your Superiors cannot do anything about it since their duty is to ensure a procedure is being followed. They should have helped you explain than to the American, that you have to follow certain rules. They know what to do whenever a problem like that occurs. If they can't do anything about it then maybe it's time you give him (that American) a dose of his own medicine.

About the laws, I have no idea. Might as well check that person out. Have a background research, he might be an illegal alien or something for all you know.

yes, I totally agree with you, most of them really act superior but other than him most that I encountered at least gives a certain amount of respect to the locals, especially in a professional environment. I'm not also generalizing all americans, in fact my parents, my grandma and my paternal aunts and uncles are all american citizens.. I have quite a few american acquaintances as well but I've never encountered a person such as this.. I'm actually looking onto my country's immigration site right now, I've encountered a sentence that the bureau makes sure that foreigners and aliens won't be able to afflict any behavior that contributes as threats to public safety and health and morals. The word "morals" is a start...

Firstly I have sympathy for you.You will deal with many people everyday,and I think this is very tired.The people you have described is so bad,but what I want to say is that you should be patient enough.You should be sure not to be able to be so angry and dispute with him.This will not noly makes a bad impact on you but also on your company.And this is what he want to see really.My suggestion is once he makes any bad behavior next time,you can call police.They can protect you.At last,I hope you work smoothly!

I would report him. I wouldn't put up with a person like this, and I would report him. This man is someone who needs to be in a mental hospital and he needs to be taught manners. People like this always need to be put in their place. This person will never learn unless people stand up against him.
If you have Human Resources at your bank, report him to HR. Again, you have to report this man.
