I think you did absolutely the right thing. And if they were being rude and obnoxious, I suspect it is the bad-temperedness of those whose illdoings have been thwarted - after all, if someone asked you to step back, you'd probably say "Sure, no problem" wouldn't you?
It is far, far better to be safe than sorry - if they were nefarious characters, and *had* gotten your PIN, it is then very likely that they would have attempted to gain your card in some way. I don't know if the twins were with you at the time either, but trying to juggle kids, card and everything else is enough of a nightmare without being crowded and/or intimidated by strange people.
Alas, we don't live in the 40s anymore, and trust is hard to come by, for fairly good reasons. Stick to your guns, and sorry it upset you when they were unnecessarily unpleasant at you.
