[Sinestra]

Usually im not one for believing in and or promoting sterotypes but on this matter i can agree with this poll. I live close to Washington DC which is of course a huge tourist spot given its the capital of the US and whenever im down there especially in Georgetown at restaurants or bars the French are pretty damn rude. I see it every year and yes they are frugal when it comes to tips. A friend of mine works at Sequoias a very upscale bar and restaurant near the water front and she says French tourist rarely if ever leave tips are rude to the wait staff and are very demanding. Popular clubs in DC and Chinatown the same thing very rude very pushy towards women

*Note these are my personal experiences*

I cant really say much though i have gone abroad with some friends before and was ashamed of how they acted in foreign country as an American. I wouldnt think all French people are rude just the ones i have happened to see. Its not fair to base the entire population on a few that travel abroad. But this goes to show you are representative of your country when you go abroad whether you want to be or not.
