Child Item

The French

[Deleted User]

I just checked an amazing house... rooftop terrace, games room, class living room and kitchen, massive bedrooms and all for a good price.
But my housemates would have been 3 french people and I just couldn't do it.. Give me any and I mean any other nationality in the world and I would have taken it ina heartbeat. But with French people? No way.

Anyone else feel like this? Am I racist? Or is it built up anger at having to study their camp language for 6 years so I could goto college? Or is it just the fact that almost all the French I've met have been loud and crap?

Lived with one that was a proper cunt but he was the exception to be honest.

Don't put a string of onions around your neck though as that would just be corny and stereotypical.

Just confront them about being loud and they'll surrender straight away.

I had to deal with the French last year and when I heard that I was delighted thought it would be nice , after about a week I hated them I found them all to be arrogant and ignorant .this year I refused to have anything to do with them now the Spanish they are a nice crowd

Many of my mates in China are French. Nicest bunch of people you could ever meet. I suspect you're just a bit racist OP (there are plenty of stuck up Irish twats too, as I'm sure you know).

Where the house

Dane Bramage

Married to a French woman myself and know a few French people who live in Ireland. Also visit France quite frequently. Have no problems with them, if you like the place go for it OP.

France would be a lovely country if it wasn't for all the french

AllYourBass

Ooof, the g/f's French so I have to stick my oar in here. Firstly, it sounds like you just have experience with Parisennes, who the rest of the French also despise for their holier than thou delusions. Secondly, you're racist.

pickarooney

You're pretty much just racist, but not in a way that affects anyone else so not really a problem. Are you going to stay on for a long time in the 'Nam?

I like their films.

Don't like living with people I know.. From experience, people have more respect for strangers than for friends. And it's good for meeting people.

I've never done a house share with strangers so you could be right there-but Id just be afraid of nutters, my brother ended up with a guy who just sat around in his boxers playing a banjo in the sitting room all day and barely talked! The room constantly smelled of sex even though he was the only one in there most of the time.

Give me my mates any day!

I only know two french people personally.
One,great to work with lovely girl...could not live with her-constantly bitches about Ireland which irritates the hell out of me

The other-hates French people which I think is hilarious, cant stand to be lumped in with French people stereotypes especially because she comes from just outside of Paris so people tend to make assumptions about her. Would live with with her in a heartbeat and have stayed with her in her hometown a fair few times.

I don't suppose I'd care too much, only thing with living with 3 people of the same nationality is that they will proceed to make you paranoid talking about the weather cos you're gonna be 100% sure they are b1tching about ya!

The only French person I know is a cousins hubby. Introduced me to whiskey at a wedding as a teenager. Sound fella.

Lived with a french lad years ago. He was from paris too to make things worse.Complete tosser to begin with. Once you get used to them and their waysit can be rewarding or not.
