I’m sure we Americans have our idiosyncrasies as a culture, but I am convinced that the idiosyncrasies of the French outdo ours.
I sat down on a park bench on Sunday, enjoying the weather and a little break from all of my errands. No one else was on the long bench but me, and I was sitting on the end. About 10 minutes into my nice quiet time, a french woman, a little younger than myself, approached me and asked me to move over. I pointed out to her that to my right the entire bench was empty, and she could sit anywhere she liked, and she replied, “no, i want to sit where you are sitting.” Go figure that one out. I kid you not!

It's so interesting. It reminds me of going to the movies there. The whole theatre will be empty, and somebody will come sit down in the seat right next to yours!
