I'm so happy to find a soulmate who understands this bullshit. Not only are they delirious in their nationalism, they're arrogant as hell too. Here's how the typical service call goes:

Me: "Technical Services, this is Ken"

Him: Allo... zis is Jean-Claude, Parle vous Francais?

Me: (in English) "Hello Jean-Claude, what can I do for you?"

Him: I am wiz ze PSI Fluid Power company!

Me: That's fine Jean-Claude, what can I do for you?

Him: We are in Quebec!

Me: Is there anything I can do for you today?

Him: Quebec, Canada!

Me: (in my head) JEEZUS YOU IGNORANT BASTARD, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT, I DON'T HAVE ALL THE DAMN DAY TO LISTEN TO YOUR BULLSHIT, TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED OR I SWEAR I'LL DRIVE UP THERE AND SPANK YOUR FROGGY ASS WITH A TIRE IRON. "What do you need today, sir."

Him: Do you zpeak French?

Me: "No, Je ne parle-pas Francais. I only speak English, (more stearnly), WHAT DO YOU NEED?"

Him: Is zere anyone zere who DOES speak French?

Me:

This happens at least once per week.
