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 wanted to add a contribution to the thread and that’s all I can remember from French class. Sorry…

I've thrown someone's room keys in a hedge huge bush... 3am in Indonesia some ten years ago, payback for their awful behaviour towards me. I felt a similar sense of satisfaction about it. Sometimes these things are justified.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 01/09/2023 00:17

Formidable!

Superfood · 01/09/2023 00:20

Les dames sont toujours plus propre.

A cause de l'absence des hommes là.

il peut se faire foutre.

Jacopo · 01/09/2023 00:38

Oui @Superfood, il peut se fait foutre au côté éloigné de faire foutre, et quand il arrive there he can faire foutre en plus.

I'd recommend chili seeds if you can get hold of any of his clothing. Particularly good rubbed on the inside of underwear. Or his face flannel or toothbrush. .

Waffle78 · 01/09/2023 01:39

If there's a gap at the top I would be tempted to chuck a bucket of ice water over him.🤣🤣🤣

Tres bien fait, Aux Pays.

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

‘Tongs Perdus’ is genius but ‘Aux Pays’ is even better! (took me a moment + I’ve been a French teacher for 37 years!)

Bpiece · 01/09/2023 01:53

Oops! Not sure how I have managed to make myself look like the ‘aux Pays’!

Yanbu I'd have nicked his clothes too and left a ladies dressing gown 😏

🤣 thank you for the 2am laughs! This made me laugh out loud whilst in bed

Le petit con a perdu ses tongs
Tant pis les femmes de Mumsnet rient !
La prochaine fois il va suivre la loi
L’anglaise crie à voix fort
Le petit con a toujours tort
Quelle comédie DorisLessingsCat, on t’applaudit !

Trenchfootinthescottishhighlandstoday · 31/08/2023 18:34

Maybe he is called Philippe Philop??

That is so funny, I keep laughing so much at it.

determinedtomakethiswork · 01/09/2023 02:14

I hope he never finds his Croc Monsieurs!

🤣🤣🤣

Confusedmeanderings · 01/09/2023 02:17

@Mummyoflittledragon formidable!

DorisLessingsCat · 01/09/2023 06:28

You are all trop fort at French than me, I'm only on DuoLingo level 3 (which is obsessed with the phrase "Elle couvre le bébé avec les couvertures" for some reason).

J'ai vu M. Philop ce matin and he was wearing his ridiculous boat-sized dad trainers. No sign of the flip flops dans l'arbre. Où est-ils?

Flip flop!

This has made me laugh!

Plus you have a comical turn of phrase, you should write more! ("Not because the hommes side was full" - I'm crying at that 🤣)
