what really grinds your gears?

I have more to add: greedy Russian oligarchs who buy up public assets, privatise everything and then charge extortionate prices for services and goods which should not be as expensive as they charge (yes they do this both in Russia and over in the UK). Inflation (the inflation rate is absurd and further fuelled by people's greed and over-consumption). Crowds. Rampant urbanisation.

Loud, nasty people. Aggressive types, bullying managers (I used to have a manager who was a total bitch and made my life hell). I could go on, I admit I have a lot of grievances.

haha, never been to France, but I have met some hilarious French coming over here..

I hate say this but it's usually Americans (not always, and not all of them)

who fall into the annoying tourist cathegory..

Germans and Brits are always well behaved, French are usually hilarious, Japanese and Koreans are so damn shy, it's cute..

Well, the one that have come down here are...one can hear all the time about German discipline and it's true, they are really well behaved..
