Madame?

Me and the French.... well I could start and just not finish! I'm not exaggerating, really!
You don't believe me? Just read!

telephone ring
me: "Hello? Estou? Allô? (I do have to understand really quickly what kind of languague is on the other side!!)
french lady: "Madame Silva?"
me: "Oui?
french lady: "Je represent..blablabla ... mutuel  ... blablabla.. credit blablabla blabla bla bla bla bla bla bla
me: 'Madame?
french lady: "blablabla blablabla bla bla bla bla bla bla"
Mme: 'Madame?
french lady: "blablabla blablabla.?"
me: 'Madame, je suis pas interesse, merci. (And I said it with a smile, so I wasn't rude or anything, because I know that this is not a easy job, and because I'm not a rude person!!)
french lady: biiiiippppppppp!
she hanged the phone on me! No pardon, no merci, nothing! Just the bip sound of a dead telephone!
After almost 4 years I'm getting used to the rudeness of french people but ... come on! This is rude!
They do need some manners oh yes they do!!


this is her in the other side!
PS: I think that it was the same "lady" that stick the middle finger to my son #2 (he was 7 at the time) in a restaurant in Paris, but THAT is another story!!

Have a nice day, everyone!!!

100% de acordo! os franceses são muito mal educados... ainda falam dos portugueses e do atendimento em portugal... desde que vivo em frança acho que o atendimento português mete o francês num chinelo... enfim... também tive uma situação parecida recentemente. queriam vender-me um seguro de saude e eu disse que não estava interessada, que ja tinha um e que estava bastante contente com ele. a senhora continuou a insistir e eu continuei a dizer que não e ela então termina assim "desejo sinceramente que não lhe aconteça nada de grave"...

Diálogos interessantes. Por cá tambem há disso. Eles e elas estão a fazer o seu trabalho mas, lá que chateiam, chateiam. Tens que arranjar uma frase em francês, que coloques perto do telefone, e que as façam desistir.
