The French Are So Rude

...that Japanese tourists are mentally shattered by the experience.

Around a dozen Japanese tourists a year need psychological treatment after visiting Paris as the reality of unfriendly locals and scruffy streets clashes with their expectations, a newspaper reported on Sunday.
Some of these tourists develop paranoia, thinking French people are out to 'get' them, while some just lose their marbles altogether.
Bernard Delage of Jeunes Japon, an association that helps Japanese families settle in France, said:

"In Japanese shops, the customer is king, whereas here assistants hardly look at them ... People using public transport all look stern, and handbag snatchers increase the ill feeling."

Holy smokes. And you thought the dude down at Blockbuster was a jerk.
