[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] We're doing this again? I live in Bethesda, and I've lived in many places in many countries. [b]I am Parisian by birth. Paris is the city I like to call the rudest place on Earth ;-) [/b] People learn not to be too polite in big crowded cities - it's a protective envelope you place on yourself when you go out of your apartment, to deal with the noise and jostling and people asking you for stuff. But in wealthy suburbs or city districts specifically, I think it's not that people are ruder than elsewhere, it's that you are on alert for signs of exclusion, due to your own insecurity. [/quote] It's this. Bethesda is full of international people, ESPECIALLY the French. We have Rochambeau school and awkward scientists. Looking down when you walk isn't RUDE, but it is unfriendly. French people culturally hate small talk so they appear to be rude, they are actually nice people, just unfriendly. [/quote]
