MODERATORS
My favourite country to visit would be France, I like the food, I like the language, I like the people, I like the culture in general.
Many people claim the French are rude which is not my experience at all. Maybe because Danes are ruder? ๐
Au contraire, I've only been met with respect and professionalism when I've been to France.
Tbh the reputed rudeness was usually just brusqueness, only a mode amongst some of the population (with just as many or more being utterly charming), and had largely ceased to be a thing over 20 years ago.
Well, Danes are also famously direct, so I think it comes off as pretty normal to us. No need to waste too much time beating around the bush.
Yeah, I'd say that French brusqueness was softer than Danish.
Faffing around overly seems rude to me - too much scope for misunderstanding when one have to hope the other person has read between the lines as one intended them.
