The French are only being rude because they think we are English. If you tell them your Irish their attitude changes completely.

No, they are just dickheads. I get along with almost everyone and really try to be civil and polite whether I like someone or not. But when it comes to French people, I lose it. I've only had about 5 arguments in my life (proper shouting matches) with people outside my family/boyfriend, and every single one of them has been with a French person. They have the most twisted logic in the world and then try to tell you they're right and you're stupid. I've met hundreds and hundreds of French people in my life and don't have one single French friend. I've really tried as well, determined not to let my prior experiences cloud my judgement, but honestly, it always ends up the same way.

But Nigeria has to have the most dickheads (and its got nothing to do with skin colour)

They come a close second to the French.

I did meet a lot of dickheads in France, but I met one absolute legend. I was on a way to my best mates wedding, I was a good four hours away from the venue, had pigeon french at best and didn't have a clue of what was going on. After chatting to a lot of dickheads, I came accross this guy in the Carcasonne train station. The converation went like this.

ME: Escusi moi monsieur, vous parlez anglais?
FRENCH GUY(in epic french accent): Yes sir how may I help you?

I asked him about the trains, how I get here and there, he walked me around the whole place and was just dead on, really helpful. I was really greatful after been stressed out of my mind for the last hour, shook his hand and said "thanks very much man, I appreciate it." He says "no problem, and remember....you are always welcome.....", he puts his hands up in the air very dramaticly and excdlaims loudly, "in France!"

What a legend.

Legend. I've had many experiences of locals going out of their way to help/give directions in France. People are people: if you are respectful and friendly you tend to get it back in spades.

England, never met so many rude, ignorant people as i did in London.

Je ne comprends pas votre langue compliquée. Je pense que vous avez besoin d'aller voir une personne pour vous aider avec votre santé mentale. Je pense que vous devriez porter des pantalons serrés. Avez-vous la marche à pied spécial?

Except you don't. That's the problem. You go in with a smile and friendly attitude and get barked at and glared at. And it doesn't just happen to foreigners. Even French people hate the French.

Really? Were they from the north or south?

I have a few French pals and they're very nice people...polite and good fun. But they were from the south and they think that northerners are rude and cold.

Speaking of French.

Listen to a French woman speaking, its the sexiest accent a man could hear

They don't hate you as much if you're as miserable as they are.

Generally the north/Paris region, but I met plenty of dickheads from the south too. The thing with the French is that I often find they seem sound and nice at first, but it quickly disintegrates the moment they don't get their own way. I find them incredibly unreasonable and immature. I've given up even trying to like them or get on with them at this point, I just accept that I won't and that we won't be friends and it's not so bad.

I think they do, but they respect you more if you also act like a total c*nt, so that's my usual approach.

Ok i'll leave the translator aside:pac:, it's just that in total contrast to your experience I found myself hitchhiking from north to south without three words to string together, when I got to the south ( looking for work on the grapes ) I could not find any work and i had nooooooo money at all :eek:. From the time i set foot in france, they (the french) looked after me... I received food, free travel, money, companionship, great nights out, and some good temporary lodgings. Mind you I sang them a few songs and asked very politely for favour, things probably have changed since I was there, thanks for your update.
