When I recently went to Costa Rica, i got to see a lot of the ugly american syndrome. The hotel staff where I stayed was extremely friendly and helpful and most of them spoke really good english, yet I'd see some tourists complain about people in the markets, etc. not speaking english or being able to help them and I kept thinking "dumb ass, you're in a spanish speaking country, at least try and learn their language before you travel". I couldn't get over these people expecting everyone in a foreign country to speak english. Those same idiots are the ones who seem to bitch about people in this country that can't speak the language...
