This morning, I went to the bank to make a complain. And when I got there, the line was too long, there were lot of people willing to see the customer services. So I joined the queue.

After several hours of waiting, it was almost my turn. It was then I saw a clerk talking to someone. I payed attention to their conversation and I realized he was asking for bribe. Got angry, because I had been on the queue for long, and now he had to skip me because he had collected bribe already.

This really frustrates me, as it's not fair that a man can cheat another because they're willing to bribe someone.

First, it is important to understand what bribery and corruption are.
