Normally the french from France are extremely endearing and the French Canadians are the ones with a bit of attitude.
This lady from Samois-sur-Seine broke the rule.
She speaks to me as if I am an Anglo-Saxon Moron. When I ask her mailing address,
her response is " Hahaha Excuse me. I live in France"
Me: "Thats nice and your mailing address is ?"
Fr. Lady : " But I live in France and you still want my address ?"
Me: " Yes"
Fr.Lady says the name of her street and town really fast in super duper french.
Me: " Ok so I have Rue, please tell the rest once more time."
Fr.Lady: " Maximilian I will spelt it out for you"
Me: " Like the Holy Roman Emperor ? "
Fr.Lady: " He is the Emperor of what country?"
Me: " No he was Emperor, of the habsburgs dynasty ? Ruled most of Europe for a good period of time. 15th century"
Fr.Lady in a suddenly nicer and quiter tone:" No I do not know him"
Me: " Let me spell it out to you M-a -x-i-m-i-l-i-a-n"
Snobby Fr.Lady: 0
European History major: 1
I was very surprised since I know from experience European schools are top notch. I believe she is originally from somewhere else pretending to be French. Yes I am going to call her a Fake French.
Hey, North American schools are top notch. For instance, I once had to read and critique a 20 page essay on Gap Jeans. Where else would you learn that kind of necessary information?
