I met and married my wife overseas. When we moved back to the States, I went with her while she was cleared through immigration in Newark Airport, NJ. We waited in an area with other people going through the same process.
The immigration officer walked in with this disgusted look, sighed heavily, and proceeded to process everyone. It was appalling how he treated people, yelling at them to place their hand properly for fingerprinting, telling people not to talk unless asked to, etc. He proceeded to treat my wife like crap as well, until he looked over her paperwork and noticed she was travelling with me, and asked her where her husband was. She pointed at me and his demeanor changed immediately. He obviously wasn't used to being observed by a fellow American in his day to day work.
I wish I had had the balls to say something to him, but as far as we were concerned, he was holding the keys to the kingdom.
