France is south to the Germans, Swedes etc but north to Italians, Greeks etc. So there are both people trying to cut in line (it can be any one, an old lady or a young person), but then other people fight them back with loud "oh you are in a hurry?!!", "Oh, we just stand here, not queueing at all!!", or the "Heey! / Eeh!"
Sort of some urban training it feels like.
France is west of Germany, mein Freund.
Das is richtig mein freund!
Well, the northen france is on pair with southern germany, but the idea here is the north/south differences, where in the north people are on time and follow rules, in the south not so much.
You say germans are not on time?
Das ist nicht sehr höflich.
Germans: arrive 20 minutes early because "you never know"
The thing I was trying to convey was, Germans and Swedes follow the rules religiously, south europe not so much.
