'Rude' French are worst tourists
The French are seen by hoteliers as the world's worst tourists
BBC News
French tourists are the worst in the world, coming across as penny-pinching, rude and terrible at languages, according to a new survey.
The study by travel company Expedia asked 4,500 hotels worldwide to rank tourists on their behaviour.
Japanese tourists - seen as clean and tidy, polite, quiet and uncomplaining - came top for the third year running.

Alrighty. So I worked at a deli for three years and then some. Eventually I got the bosses wrapped around my finger and was just as important and high up as them.

We’re all allowed our bad moods and bad days. But when you’re a celebrity you forfeit that right – at least to an extent. Fair or not, if you’re in a noticeably bad mood at a public event, people are going to hear about it.

This is a first. Renee Zellweger loves when people are rude to her, because it makes her feel like more of a normal person. She especially likes when airline staffers are mean to her because it makes her feel like she isn't famous.

This year has been rough for my family. My parents decided to up and leave their California home to move across the country--after quitting their jobs and realizing their new home was not for them they moved back only to lose money, a house, and are jobless in this economy. Myself included in this brought me to live with them again as I was away at school until budget cuts ceased my opportunity to stay there.

My son is 7 years old, but I've been noticing for the past year or so, he's been behaving badly. He was never like that before, but I notice now, that especially when it comes to schoolwork, he gets mad, and throws a fit. Not to mention the fact that he's rude.

I'm a 39 y.o. woman who has been "seeing" a 47 y.o. man. He's a musician in my community and I developed an instant attraction that seems to go far beyond the initial sexy appeal of his guitar playing skills. Simply put, I'm smitten. I pursued him pretty heavy in the beginning and have definitely been the person putting the effort in making contact and arranging our activities. I hate the way this sounds but I am well above average in physical appearance so I'm used to getting the person I pursue. Anyway, we've been spending time together for a couple of months and it's been magical! He's romantic, extremely affectionate, sensitive and sweet as hell. He's introduced me to a couple of friends and he seems proud when he does so. I walk on a cloud when I'm with him and for the next day or two after. Trouble is, he doesn't call me....even after several days have gone by. In his defense, he works a full-time job in addition to the gigs he plays a couple evenings a week. He also bought a house (his first ever) about 3 weeks ago and he is heavily involved in remodeling it. Last weekend I asked him to come out to listen to a visiting band at a local pub. He agreed but at the last minute changed his mind, but failed to tell me this. I confronted him about his rudeness and told him I didn't think he was that in to me and that he should just acknowlege that fact so that I could move on. He asked me if I wanted to talk and offered to pick me up for breakfast. He refused to agree with my assumption and acknowleged his rudeness with an apology. This confrontation was three days ago and I haven't heard from him since. I have a lump in my throat and I feel nauseous. I need some direction here as the agony is just too much!

I've been with my boyfriend for almost 7 years and everytime that he has a family gathering, he tends to either push me away or break-up with me. He is 38 years old and I am 32.
The first year we met, his father passed away and his sisters wanted to kick him out of the family home.

Dear Savvy,
Today, my manager called me asking me to write up a report about a fellow co-worker. I had mentioned that she was having some difficulties adjusting to the workplace, that she was rude to us, and where she was getting better but that she still often isn't on task. I told her that I would, but I just sat down to write it and have no idea what to say, how to say it, etc.
