A Grievance From Overseas

(The French Guy has a list of stuff to grieve about from overseas. Zut alors.)

I've got a problem with you people :

All those morons who go to the Champs Elysees the Saturday evening before Christmas and complain how crowded it is. "Sure it was nice, but there were too many people".  It's already packed with tourists all year round, add Christmas decorations, lightings and market with wooden huts and even Parisians go there, to the point you may have to walk on the actual road. What the fuck did you expect?

Those "if there really is global warming, how come it's so cold now ?" joke/newspaper cartoons/quips. Sigh.

I don't care what your poll/research says, I'm not an alcoholic because I drink more than 2 glasses on 3+ nights a month.

All those poseurs in Paris with Obama's Change tshirts/posters. Loathing Bush is one thing. Pretending that Obama will change your life is another. Firstly, you didn't vote for him because you couldn't and didn't volunteer for him either. Secondly, I'm sure his battle with Congress to change social security/HMO/Medicare will have a deep impact on your everyday life (if you even know what Medicare is). Finally, don't you dare try to end any argument with "He won the fucking Nobel Peace Prize".

Most people on airplanes/airports. The one with 15 different coins in his pocket and a 200-g silver buckle belt who still goes through the metal detector gates. The one with an expensive perfume bottle who for 5 min begs the guard not to throw it away. The business guy who shows up with a brief case, computer case and a small suitcase and complains that the overhead compartment is full (it's because there are 50 other people like you in the plane). The one who's up in the aisle with his luggage two seconds after the plane has landed (we're the next-to-last row, we won't get out before 10 mintutes minimum, may I keep reading or listening to my Ipod without you trying to go over me ?). I hate you all.

Amen to that! *sips beer*

Not to mention, having French people walking around in Obama t-shirts really doesn't win him any favor from those retards driving around with Palin 2012 bumper stickers.
