Because I didn't speak French and they refused to speak English.
"Excuse me, do you live here?" Quebec is one of the reasons I don live there anymore

This just remind me of a friend of mine who was working in the hasidic jew quarter of the city saying how jews were rude and stuff. Ofcourse there are rude ppl; i go to stores and get ignored as much as any of you guys, and OFCOURSE a French person that cannot speak english cannot serve you well. Living in Quebec, how come you didnt have learned the basics to be served in French? That doesnt make sense to me. I went to Portugal once and experimented the same thing; I couldnt speak Portugese; they couldnt speak french, english or even spanish... I worked my way out anyway, but I find it pretty shameful that living in a french province you didnt even have the guts of trying to adapt the the first language that is spoken there by most ppl. That just shows how rude YOU are. There is rude ppl worldwide. Its just easy to put a tag on them when they are different then you and you're too lazy to make your own effort.
I know more quebeckers that can speak english with tourists then anglos that even try to speak french to us when they visit. Now tell me the logic in this?
