Once I had to call a Spanish academic about a payment to a software he wrote; we needed that software badly so instead of exchanging email, we called the 'professor' and had a conversation. Never in my life did I ever experienced a person who was so full of smugness and self-rightouness. So, I guess that southern european country is Spain because I have heard stories from people who worked there that Spanish can be quite a bunch of a@@holes. Is that right?

Social hierarchies are a big thing here, one of the biggest downsides of an otherwise beautiful country. (As a tourist, you'd never notice any of this.)
