This special Pierre is probably of the opinion that America has never really thanked him enough for the statue of liberty, isn’t he, or did he get lost while getting a croissant to go in Spain.
Yeah.. Paris the city of love.
Definately not the city of love
But either not the city of “i ride my bike like a fucking dumbass”
Most tourist loving Pierre
Tour de fuck out the way
If you block the path and go slow like an idiot while others commute or want to go places, be prepared for road rage.
Extreme reaction form Piere, but I can relate.
Thing is, believe it or not, but SOME foreigners actually like that attitude, and I personally like to focus on that haha
One summer, I had British friends visiting in south of France, we did the thing of course, market day in Aix en Provence, followed by a lunch on one of those plazzas that have 70 bar/restaurants/tables areas per square metre.
Peak lunch hour, the waiter approaches our table and handles the interaction in a very stereotypical French waiter manner, the sketch was writing itself and the lines and mannerisms were rehearsed to perfection.
I handled the interaction but I knew that the second he’d be out of hearing distance, feedback would roll, I was particularly anxious as to what the British girl had to say… the Irish guy had lived abroad and in France for a while soooo yeah… he had time to adjust.
and thus, her mouth opens: “You know what, I actually love the way French waiters handle things, I know it can be seen as a bit abrupt but I LOVE the lack of BS”
Me: O_O…. ok ahem, didn’t think it’d go that way, I had already prepared my slides on culture differences etc… but ok sure, go on O_O (I also spend a lot of time here so I’m a bit traumaed by you guys).
Her: “yeah and like, he comes, he’s efficient, he’s to the point, he’s got shit to do, many tables etc… he doesn’t have time for our BS, so we tell him what we want and he processes that, ultimately that’s what should happen. I’m so tired of the fakeness in the UK (and she proceeded to describe something akin to the infamous US style of customer service, the smile etc… but on a lighter scale), so yeah, it may be a bit rough but I prefer it, it leaves no room for shallow behaviour on the customer and employee’s side. If anything, it makes me more embarrassed to not speak French, because I wish I could do my part in terms of efficiency instead of being another one of these slug-ass tourist that they probably want to set on fire, I mean, right now, you’re here to translate but you know etc…”
>Paris syndrome is a cluster of psychiatric symptoms exhibited by some individuals when visiting Paris, that can be viewed as a severe form of culture shock.
>The syndrome is characterized by symptoms such as acute delusional states, hallucinations, feelings of persecution derealization, depersonalization, anxiety, as well as psychosomatic manifestations such as dizziness, tachycardia, sweating most notably, but also others, such as vomiting.
>the disorder is caused by positive representations of the city in popular culture, which leads to immense disappointment as the reality of experiencing the city is very different from expectations: tourists are confronted with an overcrowded and littered city and a less than welcoming attitude by French hospitality workers like shopkeepers, restaurant and hotel personnel
Ok they were hogging the line but a speedy takeover with an insult and/or an agressive plingpling would have been enough.
I’m guessing he’s an American who doesn’t understand that cycling is traffic too and not some kind of toy?
If you’d do this in America in a car I’d expect to have a gun pulled on you at some point.
Motherfucker was about to crash into the native. He just defended himself. It’s what this influencer piece of shit gets for not driving straight.
I’m from Copenhagen, and I’ve kicked a tourist who was about to pull into me when they didn’t look where they were going. Better they get hurt than me. They’re the one who did the traffic infraction.
Fucking hate tourists who can’t bike. They need to use their legs instead.
Batman is doing some extra hour to make sure cycling path are safe from muricans
Well done
Even google doesn’t know who Skater Tshwane Jones is, kick 100% deserved.
Who the fuck is Tshwane Jones?
Yeah fully warranted reaction. This ameritard thinks he is the main character and has no regards for other traffic. Is creating a dangerous situation. He got what he deserved and after the act still doesn’t understand he was in the wrong. Please Ameritards don’t come to our beloved continent. Thank you in advance.
dude turned to swirve with the guy just to get in range for that kick, he must’ve wanted to do that for a while
Wtf I love Paris now
I mean, he was slow as fuck and zigzaging blocking the way. Pierre is way out of line, but I can understand the feeling underneath it.
Also, skater who?
Well done Pierre, well done.
I mean, with a name like Tshwane he is asking to be kicked off
Id love to get the context for that act, im pretty sure this guy is not as innocent as he tries to appear
Based frog
A Yank riding bike in Paris, isn’t it? Totally understandable why he was kicked like that
