Speaking as someone who learned French in school, I agree. Goddamn plus-que-parfait, it's a trap.

Its formation has no exceptions--one of the very rare tenses in French with no exceptions: imperfect + past participle. And its usage directly parallels the pluperfect in English: I had finished my meal when he arrived. J'avais fini mon repas quand il est arrivé.
