  1. Those few buttons in the middle define the difference between a mid-aged decollete and knee-protectors.

  2. What kind of savage eats at their desk and drinks coffee without offering any to the others, all while smiling all day like their jaw is stuck?

  3. I’m so sorry, but I love the French. I have tried not to, but I just can’t.

  4. Gonna be honest, even if you don’t do any of this, you will be judged and talked about.

  5. Don’t let Macron see this video, he won’t be able to control himself

  6. Honestly, most of that is a pretty reasonable thing to judge people for.

  7. Pierre, is that your grandmother?? does she wants to enjoy retirement on the Algarve??

  8. You’ve heart of tit for tat? Now meet tat for tit!

  9. >don’t smile in the office

    Normally when I go into Birmingham for meetings I’m trying to ignore the voices telling me to top myself by running through Small Heath with an Israeli flag

  10. The one with the exclamation points, I feel it in my bones, writing multiple exclamation or interrogation points is do aggressive

  11. What’s her name? It’s for research purposes.

    Found it.

  12. I do not know about the office policies between French. I have worked with many nationalities in international projects and we all agreed that it is impossible to work with the French. And even the food is not that good.

    Northern countries (Netherlands, Germany, Scandinavia, Poland, Canada, Japan), they hardly make mistakes or are late and if it happens, they own it, apologize and fix it. Usually, they respond to your 11PM email within 10 minutes. Projects are on time and within budget. The beer is great, the wine is imported.

    Southern countries (Italy, Spain, India, Israel, Turkey, South America), they make lots of mistakes, are usually late, but they accept that, invite you for dinner and drinks and smile about it. You expect a disaster, you get a disaster and everybody smiles. You will get an answer to your emails, but it is uncertain when. The local drinks taste great after the the glass.

    USA and Russia, they make mistakes and are late, but ignore it and make a lot of noise when you want to bring it up. If the project succeeds the take all the praise. You do not get a response to your emails. The wine and beer is drinkable, but you should go straight to bourbon/wodka.

    France: they make lots of mistakes, are late, but it is always somebody elses fault and don’t you dare to ask them to fix their mistake. You do get a response to your emails about a week later, but it has nothing to do with your email, is accusing lots of people for anything that is wrong and is asking for extra time for their part. Sometimes the project finishes halfway its targeted goals and they call it a success. Their wine is nice.
