After living in France for a bit and then coming to England, reading this post makes me wonder: do people in the UK have a higher degree of inability to cope with life compared to what you see in France?

You just don't see this level of ineptitude in France or hear it anywhere else. People seem to be more capable of dealing with life. It sounds like in the UK, people can't do basic tasks like taking the trash out without making a post asking for help on which way to carry the bins or which side to butter the bread for a sandwich.
