Yes, we all know that croissants are bad for your cholesterol, and that Parisians are bad for anybody's temper. But really, what about the French makes you want to fling a pan of escargo at them, declare a new revolution, and set up a fresh guillotine in the Place de la Liberte?

well, i think the fact that they have a rollerblade police patrol pretty much says it all. only the French would need their enforcers to wear kneepads.
and basically since they were so bitter over havign their a$$es handed to them in WWI, they wanted to punish the germans, and gave the Germans a sense of nationalism to rally behind to regain what they lost, thus causing WWII.

When passing an other car they always leave their blinkinglight(?) on.
Small thing, I know. But irritating anyway.

Ah, the French.
Cheese eating surrender monkeys sums it up.
Oh and the fact they *think* they should own Canada. Well, we can always deport them all to Louisiana again if they want to try their luck a second time. | | |

I used to like France a lot, I've been there many times, but I actually decided not to go back after the nuclear tests in the South Pacific in 1995.
Serious things I dislike about France:
- Jacques Chirac
- the increasing nationalism and hostility towards people from their former colonies
- the imperialistic attitue (I dislike imperialism in any country)
Unserious things:
- it's impossible to get a decent cup of tea
- the Parisian driving style You'd think the signal horn was the most important part of a car
Btw, snails and frog's legs are delicious, as is a lot of typically French food
