False : in Germany they obey the rules,


They also make them.

in Britain they willingly create confusion (pounds, feets, oz, driving
at the left),


Britain has largely gone metric, with a few key exceptions.

in France they try to take advantage of each situation,


Stereotype not supported by reality.

in Spain they work the least as possible,


Stereotype not supported by reality. Ever been to Barcelona?

in Italy they are rational because they have cities built like
american cities : parallel and perpendicular streets


Examining maps of Rome, Padua, Venice, and Milan ('cause there's,
like, Google Maps, y'know?), I have to conclude that, whatever it
is you're smoking or snorting, you should cease immediately, if
only to make fleeting contact with reality once again.
