    Not that crazy but I’d never seen anything like it before.

    Over 15 years ago, I was standing in a very long line at St. Basil’s in Moscow. A small pack of tourists (half a dozen or so) started to “sneak” their way into cutting in line. About 30 French people in a tour group immediately started scolding them in loud unison. They shamed them into taking their place at the end of the line. It was such an automatic and united scolding. Highly entertaining.

    A fellow traveler, far more experienced than I am, said that the French are known for doing that sort of thing.
