I have done something childish and I don't care

End of week 2 holidaying in a remote French village, in a small campsite.

There is one toilet block building but the cubicles inside are marked dames / hommes, so there is sex segregation.

For the whole time I've been here the same bloke has been using the Dames side. Not because the hommes side was full, just because he wanted to (I did ask in my bad French the 3rd time I encountered him coming out of the women's and he did le shrug and he said something about les dames est plus propre).

Anyway, I have been mildly annoyed at this. Today when I saw him close the door on his Dames shower cubicle I took his flip flops from outside of the door and threw them in the hedge behind the toilet block. I might have had some vin rouge prior to the incident.

(Also, the owners do not care in case anyone says I should have taken it through Proper Channels.)

AIBU?

Just mean IMHO. Only on MN is it such an issue. It's a loo not a changing room.

The whole thread is genius, but 'Philippe Philop' is absolutely brilliant!

❤️❤️❤️ sending much love.

We left the campsite with no further sightings of M. Philop (aka Hairy McBoatFeet). I will be leaving a lengthy and descriptive TripAdvisor review.

I suspect he was a French MAMIL - un homme d'âge moyen de Lyrca. There was a lot of them about.

Currently overnighting in a much under-appreciated town in Auvergne trying to work out which part of le chat is the "langue" on the dessert menu....

The langue (tongue) is the biscuit. It’s long and thin like a tongue.

Ils sont dans l'arbre, mon petit homme poilu.

You rebel 😂😂😂 I’m with the others I’d have nicked his clothes too & left them strewn all over the place but I would not have left him a robe; I’d have left the silly bugger to walk back barefoot with just a towel to cover him up….. I’d have made damn sure I had a good view of his walk of shame too!!!

You are in a foreign country with different customs. Respect them.

BoomBoom70 · 02/09/2023 02:46

OP I’d love to come on holiday with you. Wine and mischief 😂

Haven’t RTFT but this has an amusing air of “Angus, things and full frontal snogging” (the original book, not the film) and is generally tres amusement.

THONGS not things. Mon dieu!

Oh give over. Where in the world is it customary for men to use facilities marked as women's? You and Philippe should enjoy a vin rouge and discuss it 😂
