dans la rue

dans la rue, passant (m), trottoir (m) // in the street, passerby, pavement. поребрик as a bonus track

Today we watched a short video where a young women with a clipboard was stopping passersby to talk to them about their likes and dislikes. Out of three persons she asked two refused to speak to her, and none of those two smiled at any point. Though I know it's just a silly "basic french" video,  I think it sort of contributes to the "arrogant french" stereotype. The stereotype that doesn't agree with the impressions I got during my (alas, very short) visits to France. 

(Sumo wrestler cat would have had much easier experience being an interviewer. After all, nobody can be more arrogant than a cat)
