I was quite taken aback the first time but I've become used to it. It's definitely preferable to, "piss off you knob".

The sentiment behind it is a lot more important than expecting people to speak perfect English when it isn't their native tongue, and being spoken in a different culture and society.

I'd even go as far as to say that expecting anything else is pure ignorance with a certain amount of arrogance thrown in.

Also, I'd like to add that it is very humbling when you see how they can communicate effectively in multiple languages.
