Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is one relatively unknown thing that your country does much better than elsewhere, but that most people don't know about?2·8 months agoI lived in Paris for a year, speak french and respect people who work extremely difficult jobs in the most tourist-heavy city on the planet
I think I met three or four grumpy cunts in that year. Considering everything, that’s a miniscule percentage
Bear in mind these people aren’t being false-nice. They don’t rely on tips to feed their kids

Brits and Yanks, the ones that think cleaners and waiters are beneath them and need to dance to earn tips
Makes sense
Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is one relatively unknown thing that your country does much better than elsewhere, but that most people don't know about?30·8 months agoFrance - treating people the same no matter what they do for a living.
It’s really nice to be respected even if you’re a cleaner or a bin man, and very much deserved

Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is one relatively unknown thing that your country does much better than elsewhere, but that most people don't know about?2·8 months agoIn my dad’s era, a bit of crumpet was something completely different
I love monkey puzzle trees! They look like they’d be so easy to climb
I don’t like trying to climb them though

No
See?
The “whilst obvious hyperbole” bit is the clue. The two situations/comments/opinions are just examples, never happened and never will
It wouldn’t have mattered what examples I’d made up, someone like you would come along and go “wELL aKShULLy”
Fucksake!
There was one user that was constantly creating communities for Japanese cartoons
Fuck me it was like swatting flies, but then I realised I should just block the user!

“We should save the whales”
“Yes but my cousin got splashed by a whale on a boat trip as a toddler and now has a terrible phobia that makes her wheeze whenever she sees one. Do you want that, is that what you want?”
“We should plan walkable cities”
“OH MY GOD SHES IN A WHEELCHAIR TOO DO YOU ONLY EVER THINK ABOUT YOURSELF YOU ABLEIST”
😂

As much as I despise the fat-tongued mockney, Jamie Oliver’s website is the only one I’ve seen that has the ingredients and method on two tabs so you can flick between them
Dunno why they’re not all like that
