Oh No You Didn't!

It's funny, the French don't mind waiting. They'll go to dinner and sit for hours. Yet, make them stand in line and they become even more irritated than normal. As a result, they start line cutting. But the kicker is nobody says anything. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada. My friend lil' Dave experienced first hand their impatience while at Versailles. Chris and I witnessed it tonight.

As we were standing in a massive line at the Monoprix, a lady jumped in front of us - everyone actually. Nobody said a word. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada. That is, until I gathered the nerve to approach her and let her know, in French no less, that her line cutting is unacceptable. "There is a line you know," I said. She mumbled a response. She then mumbled some more and continued unloading her basket. At this point, others in line finally chimed in. She responded accordingly and was sent away with her bitter tail between her legs. I felt vindicated.
