My French friends/coworkers like to joke that it is the French pastime to complain. It really is a cultural difference, so much so that sometimes I need to explain to American colleagues that Marie/Marc/etc. isn’t particularly upset, it’s just normal for them to complain, and it also can be really healthy. It’s sort of how many engineers (good QA?!) are contrarian by nature.

hopefully someone says “no we’re not!” to prove my point.
