Oui? French are the World's best Whiners...

Feuer Frei! · 05-07-10, 10:54 AM

THE French have finally beaten the British at something — who is GRUMPIEST.

The Gallic grumblers have admitted they are the world's biggest moaners — backing up the stereotype of Mr Rude, the Mr Man who speaks with a French accent.
A survey showed 72 per cent of French people think they complain more than any other nation making them world leaders at griping.
Only 17 per cent thought Italy whined more and Americans — famous for not putting up with poor service — notched up just four per cent.
And patient Brits romped home with only three per cent branding us bad-tempered.
Only six per cent of French people said they could always resist moaning in the survey by Opinionway.
The biggest cause of grumbles, at 31 per cent, was boyfriends, said the study.
And 25 per cent said they actually found it RELAXING.

And here I was thinking that we were the biggest whiners....

Well, at least I am.

Those statistics are skewed because France thinks it's the only civilized nation in the world.
