I don't know if the original poster of that ridiculous 'Italians are perfectionistic' quote is Italian but I work together with quite a lot of Italians at my job and the only things that they all have in common are:
- A lot of drama
- Bad work
- Lazy
- They all claim to be good in bed because 'they are Italian', they all claim to be good with women because 'they are Italian' and they all claim to be amazing cooks 'because they are Italian'.
Last week I made the mistake to compliment one of them on their lasagna. She gave me a look like I just offended her, followed by 'come on amore... I am from Italy'
*CRINGE*
But hey, that is just my impression of the ones that I know
