I met up with some French college student on the golf course once. They were playing while wearing leather-soled loafers (!). They were loud and noisy and smoked constantly. When the foursome in front of them played a little slow they insulted them, including some middle-aged women. Only a threat from a former Marine in our foursome got them to shut up.

They are basically a boorish set of arrogant jerks.

They are basically a boorish set of arrogant jerks.

We get lots of tourists from all over the world here in Central Florida. Most of them are extremely polite and well behaved, but the French ones really stick out because, as a rule, they're rude, overbearing, obnoxious, and treat us locals like we're the hired help, when they're not staring at us in horror like we're some kind of three-headed kittens that just crawled out from under the porch.

And they don't bathe. Try getting stuck in a train car or a bus with a bunch of them on a hot, summer day. I literally had to breathe through my mouth because of the odor. Terrible.
