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.

It took all the way until pâge deux for the peaux-faced to arrive!

This is not a feminist issue but one of l'espace. There are x2 loos /douches per sex and he's causing queues on our side.

Les petits enfants are trying to dislodge the flip-flops with sticks. They are très spirited.

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.

what was the point of doing that

Satisfaction at annoying him.

BorisIsACuntWaffle · 31/08/2023 19:31

He deserved it cheeky sod. Can't just decide to use the ladies because it's cleaner!

DinoMummsy · 31/08/2023 19:33

Brilliant, well done OP! 🤣👐

But if people are showering then it IS a changing room. You have to get undressed when you shower.

Well done OP.

Though it's pretty gross he wasn't wearing his flip flops in the shower. I hope he gets a couple of feet full of verrucas as a lovely souvenir.

BadHairBae · 31/08/2023 19:41

Magnifique!! 👏

TerfTalking · 31/08/2023 19:44

Ha ha ha PMSL, what did he say when he existed la douche and found his flip flops missing? did you give him the French le shrug or the anglaise super polite polite je ne sais pas? (or had you done a runner 😂 at this point).

Willmafrockfit · 31/08/2023 19:45

Perhaps OP will start a flip-flop tossing craze among all the women on the campsite. Eventually he will get the message that use of the ladies results in thistles in the feet.

@TheClitterati (or should that be LaClitterati) there is le signe which says les chausseurs sont interdits in the shower cubicles, hence I have been able to monitor his giant footwear outside the ladies's showers most days. Making me seethe. He is actually quite a small man, very hairy except for the top of his head, with comically large feet, definitely not to be mistaken for a ladies' shoe.
