Et vive la France ! ф(｀д´;) ┘
Dec. 14th, 2010 11:14 amI want to rant! Ranting I am!
Why do French people always complain so much so that complaining is like a national sport? Because that's ingrained in our frigging culture!
We can't make the people above us or in charge of part of our lives listen to reason or improve their behaviour, so we complain as a mean to vent our frustrations.
I've been tracking the release date of a magazine for over a month now. Every week, I have written to the magazine publisher to ask when it'll be out. And I was glad when they finally announced that they would release it the 7th of December. So I started haunting the bookstores from this date.
But after 3 days of not finding it anywhere, I wrote again to the publisher. They told me that they postponed the release date due to the bad weather. I understand. I can wait. They next announced the release date to be the 13th.
Because I was suspicious, I waited for the publisher confirmation. A couple of days ago, the publisher said that they think the magazine issue might be out by the end of this week, again due to the bad weather. I can understand, you can't fight against bad weather.
And today — frigging today! — the TV news say that a trade union in charge of the distribution of newpapers and magazines are on strike at least untill tomorrow. Frigging French trade unions! Frigging country where strikes are a national sport! Why can't we fire all those parasites of the society when so many other Frenchmen need and would be happy to work!?
I was so furious when I heard about the strikes that I search a bit more on the internet and discovered that the distribution of magazines and newpapers have slowed down for a week now due to that union, but they've blocked the distribution for nearly all publications today. Okay, now bad weather I can take it with a smile, strikes I frigging cannot!
Other countries have trade unions that are really useful, but in France... it's like every frigging week, you hear that some public service union goes on strike just to screw with the system and the people who only want to work and live in peace.
