Why does everyone hate the french?

*Is a mod*

I'm surprised nobody recognized that, if you replace "the French" with "Final Fantasy IX" you have the quote Kishi made awhile back that's been in at least two people's signatures at any one time for the better part of two years, at least.

hehehe... Freedom Fries... Freedom Toast... funny. but to tell you the truth, I prefer Freedom Kissing over all other freedom things.I especially like to Freedom Kiss sexy Freedom girls... ;)

I dislike the French from experience, walking into a French shop and trying to buy something in the best French I could muster, I was laughed at and ignored. When I tried in English, they started slinging back insults in French, yet as I was leaving I could hear them speaking perfect English.

The same happened in numerous other shops, and just in general around the country, not exactly fun.

Now, every other country I've been to in Europe, people were quite happy and helpful if I tried even just a little of the language, the Greeks love you for it, the Germans are certainly more friendly, and the Belgians I met just started speaking perfect English from the off.

The French seem to mostly be annoyed at the fact that Europeans speak English over anything, when they expect everyone to speak French, but why would you ever want to speak French? The sentence structure is so overly complicated, I mean, verb positions for tenses? Why?

I don't hate them, per se, I just carry a dislike that has yet to be proved wrong.

This has been my experience as well, I was treated very well in all the other European countries excepot France, I didn't even speak English once (I talked Spanish but it was mocked too). The services there are terrible and the people are very rude. Not that I hate them though.
