Selling some bits on ebay. Had a message from a chap in France asking about cheaper shipping as i had quoted £15.
Did a nice little reply saying as it's out of uk I always send tracked, but would refund any difference if cheaper, that way He only pays for actual costs and no more.
Now, being nice and in the spirit of Anglo-French relations i ended the note with 'Merci', a smiley (like this 
) and 'petite Francais' in brackets to say I knew very little french.
Touch my bum!!, but did I get a polite reply? No, Non, etc...
Apparently my answer wasn't good enough, as I was told to get off my arse and get the correct shipping amount, and my tiny bit of french highly insulting!!
Mind you, if I said he had a tiny, french penis then I'll understand
