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?

Is there the slightest possibility that you may have misgendered that person.

You will now need to pretend you know abosolutely no French at all when he comea to ask you about les tongs perdu

les tongs perdu

😂

Viviennemary · 31/08/2023 19:05

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

Goldbar · 31/08/2023 19:06

Lovely 😂! I would have been tempted to chuck the clothes in a puddle on the floor as well.

You are my hero

Tres bien fait, Aux Pays.

I feel far more flipflops should be flung forcefully into French forests, frankly.

My ex-husband used to use ladies toilets at work (construction industry) because he said the men’s were gross. He was careful not to get caught…but that did involve staying in there sometimes!

DuckBushCityLimit · 31/08/2023 19:18

Bonnet de douche, Rodney! 👌

Funniest reply so far 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣

GrandHighPoohbah · 31/08/2023 19:20

You must be sure to return le shrug when he asks you about les flip flops.

WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps · 31/08/2023 19:22

😆

shibhon · 31/08/2023 19:23

Good on you. Pity it wasn't a door where you could have locked him in seeing he likes invading women's spaces. Entitled bastard.

If he tries it again chuck some cold water over the cubicle.

I can understand why he's your ex. Good men would never do that. Poor women using the toilet next to him. Really creepy and foul behaviour.

FKATondelayo · 31/08/2023 19:27

Even worse that it's the construction industry - not exactly a place for making female workers welcome.

Temporaryname158 · 31/08/2023 19:27

fabulous!

This is the perfect micro aggression to this complete fool! How dare he use the female spaces.

perhaps next time you see him approaching the shower block, go in, strip half naked quickly and when he enters scream loudly and call the police

LadyKenya · 31/08/2023 19:27

It will have no bearing on whether he will continue to use the ladies though, so what was the point of doing that, other than to be petty, which you do at least acknowledge.
