Over the Top Rude

I was in Monaco on a school trip for my French class with some California students. We were ordering food at some small local place when the California students in front of me were trying to order in English only. They were pretty rude and demanding saying things like, “Oh my god I just want some ICE. Ugh these people are so dumb.” The French cook was just looking confused and after a lot of bickering the California students walked off.

Then when I went to order I tried to order in French (not very good but after 6 years of studying French in high school and elementary school). I think I said, “Puis j’avais de..” when the cook cut me off and goes, “Dude, I speak English. Those girls were just over the top rude. What would you like?” I thought it was awesome. r1ddlemeTHAT
