Postal vs Le Poste

Going Postal - when a disgruntled American employee (or generally, x-exployee) returns to their place of work very angry and takes it out on the people there.

Going Le Poste - when a disgruntled "etranger" finally reaches their breaking point with French bureaucracy, driving, odd rules, constantly being reminded of odd rules by French person who is in the process of breaking another odd rule, or French customer service in general and snaps in the middle of the Le Poste, supermarché, middle of the village centre, rue, or in the country of France in general and resembles a raving, arm flailing, screaming, lunatic.


(and i am proud to say, with all my angst, i have not yet reached the "Going Le Poste" point yet...)
