I constantly forget how incredibly grumpy and rude US customs and TSA is in comparison to the rest of the world They really hate everybody, especially people who don't speak English or mess up instructions yelled at them as they go by

MIA international departure, security checkpoint. I pushed my bag onto the divesting table all the way to the end of the rollers. But I couldn’t push it further onto the moving belt of the X-ray machine because it was completely backed up with bags from the passengers before me and the belt was stopped. Normally, I would just wait until their bags had entered the machine, and then push my own bag onto the belt, so that it would get pulled into the machine. But as I was waiting there, the security agent on the other side of the walk-in metal detector motioned for me to come through. As I was following his instruction and walked through the detector, the agent who was standing waaaay behind me (at the start of the long divesting table) shouted at me to push my bag through. I shrugged / signaled to him with my hands that I couldn’t as I was already past the detector. Normally, it shouldn’t have been a big deal as the next pax would just push his own bags, which would eventually push mine into the X-ray.
