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?

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

I still don't get the aux pays thing, can someone spell it out please? <misses point of thread>

PeachyPeachTrees · 02/09/2023 12:11

Thanks, this has cheered me right up. I've been miserable since last week because I broke my ankle and have been cooped up in the house, unable to do anything or go anywhere.

‘Aux Pays’ - means in or to the countries. Pronounced ‘oh pay’ in French.
Letters ‘o’ + ‘p’ in French pronounced…… ‘oh pay’ = OP, (Original Poster)! Et voilà!

Peachy, I also have a broken ankle - it's miserable isn't it?

Brilliant thread. Can't stop laughing at Philippe Philop!

I know it's a typo, and I'm not trying to be mean, but glistening chest horses has just about finished me off Grin

I know there have been Mumsnet meet-ups, but has there ever been a Mumsnet camping trip??

This whole tread -priceless - but I especially love the tongs perdus. Hope he went a la recherche of them for a very long time.

WestwardHo1 · 03/09/2023 19:38

We used to have excellent Franglais threads. Maybe they should be resurrected

Sadly my french wasn't good enough to take part but I'd read and giggle
