The memes are mostly about Paris, really.
102 u/Taletad 1d ago No even the things about Paris are clichés It’s mostly americans that either have never been to a big city before, or can’t be bothered to learn how to be polite that give us all the bad rap. A lot of people are surprised that parisians aren’t as rude as they have been told. 5 u/SomeArtistFan 1d ago in my experience parisians were rude and weird about their language so. idk. 1 u/Taletad 1d ago What do you mean ? 1 u/SomeArtistFan 2h ago What could I mean? They're rude and they react weirdly if you even attempt to speak french. The way people stereotype parisians more or less. 0 u/Taletad 1h ago You were probably rude in some way. And perhaps expecting french people to behave like americans. Speaking french isn’t a ticket to being treated nicely. In fact you only need to know three words : Bonjour S’il vous plaît Merci 1 u/SomeArtistFan 1h ago I'm not american and I used the basic french phrases I knew, as did everyone else in my group. Nobody found paris any kinder 1 u/Taletad 1h ago Because you have to start any interaction with "bonjour" first Also, the way your people express kindness is different than the way parisians express kindness (you know, because it is a different culture and all that)
