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?

'He is actually quite a small man, very hairy except for the top of his head, with comically large feet,'

I'm picturing him right now.

I just honked like a goose at this.

Spot on 👏

He is lucky that is all you did....

Pennybubbly · 31/08/2023 20:41

What a tête de dick he sounds

FabYouLus · 31/08/2023 20:41

Could you find his tent and release some cockroaches in there?

Je suis in bed now and I have not seen M. Philop since the mist rouge descended.

Thank you all for being my cheerleaders in this moment of creating consequences for this entitled petit provocateur.

Sorry, OP but I think this is really pathetic, childish prank.

Not really! 😂 I think you're a bloody legend and I hope he never finds his Croc Monsieurs!

Jewelanemone · 31/08/2023 20:46

Formidable!

amusedbush · 31/08/2023 20:47

Crying at "M. Philop" 😂

Smoky1107 · 31/08/2023 20:47

Brilliant!!

ChocolateCinderToffee · 31/08/2023 20:49

Chapeau, OP.

SiobhanSharpe · 31/08/2023 20:50

I think you and your kids should wait outside the shower block so you can all titter at him as he gingerly picks his way "pieds nus" back to his tent.
(And I hope it's really gravelly.)
Or -- chuck a few bits of lego on the path?

GailBlancheViola · 31/08/2023 20:50

I am intoning marvellous the way my French friend says it in honour of your magnificent Phillipe Philop action @DorisLessingsCat

MrsJBaptiste · 31/08/2023 20:52

MN has been so dull recently but this thread has brightened up my evening 😁 Philippe Philop is genius!

Fabulous. I once threw an obnoxious Finnish man’s trainers down a gorge in Tibet. He was vile. I salute your flip flop activity.

Trixiefirecracker · 31/08/2023 20:57
