Suave, if French is their native language they may not be able to express certain ideas comfortably in English. As an anglo who speaks French I know the opposite is sometimes true, particularly if it's a formal education that often doesn't provide the vocabulary to express a lot of slangy or negative social ideas. Not saying this is the case in your particular situation and it certainly can be rude, but there are situations where it may be justified.
My biggest pet peeve? People who are the centre of the Universe. If you can't so much as even make an effort to see the other perspective, perhaps you shouldn't be dealing with people at all.
