They will work weeks, even Sundays with no days off, 12 hour days, etc. She said they have said they think Americans are lazy. I'm like WHAT? They're French, they work like 30 hours a week over there. And, they're French! But they think we are lazy if we don't want to work a hundred hours in a week. Puh. Embrasse mon derriere, I say.

Meh - protesting foreigners is all.
The Americans on average work longer hours than anyone else, with less vacation time and fewer national holidays. And that's generally acknowledged (at least in Britain) as we are always compared with the US rather than the rest of Europe as a way of bashing Brits as well as Yanks.
