More anti-French fodder

Not that I was looking for it, but it just seems to pop up all over the place.

French workers biggest whiners, Irish happiest: study

Mon May 14, 10:31 AM ET


LONDON (AFP) - French workers are the world's biggest whiners, according to a study published Monday which said the Irish complain least about their lot.
Of course, you have to consider the fact that this study was done by the British, who notoriously hate the French.

Additionally, the U.S. placed fourth.

I also found this pretty sad:
"It is interesting to note that after France, Britain and Sweden, the world's biggest workplace whingers are Americans, despite their having by far the highest levels of income," said FDS chief Charlotte Cornish.

"Compare them to Thai workers: while real levels of income are more than eight times higher in the States, more workers in the US feel their pay is a problem than in Thailand," she added.
When others are making more, people just don't seem to be happy with what they've got.

(I still like the headline!)
