Some French speakers in Canada often pretended not to speak English even though
it is required thru high school. In one example, a waitress in a hotel dining
room where I stayed for several days refused to recognize any English and was
very cold and unhelpful. When she discovered that I was American and not
English speaking Canadian her demeanor completely changed and I got extra
attentive service.

I had trouble in paris with KODAK High Speed Infrared
film... They removed it from the palstic bottle...
THEN to get even with me for my insistance they pulled
it out of the canister! I threw it down and was almost arrested!
(See below for what happened just before this took
place)
In France, it is best to have a cute French speaker
take it through for you... the jerk I got said he did
not speak English... but I heard him have this
conversation with the girl in front of me:
Girl:
Do I have to take off my shirt?
Security:
No, (laughing) there is no sexual harrassment allowed
here....
Pretty good one liner for someone who doesn't speak
English!
