I live in France in a fairly remote place only a few houses around and no direct neighbors at all.
Just had a knock on the door (8.30pm here) opened it to find 2 scruffy blokes (possible farther and son) They started rabbiting on about something I couldn't understand a word of it the older one had no front teeth and had clearly been drinking and my French is very basic.
The younger one could speak clearer and I worked out they had got stick in the snow (no fresh snow for 24 hrs mind ) and wanted me to drive them 5km to get a tractor.
Its pitch black outside and no sign of them giving up.
Theirs not another house for about a KM its about freezing and the wife is sat on the sofa trying to get our 8month old to sleep.
I just want rid of them so start to put my boots on.
The wife isn't happy leaving them on there own and me going off with 2 strangers. Young lad says you have a Subaru (in French) my brain is clicking away who the f*ck is he
His phone rings but they dont answer it
The the older one then falls over almost taking the other one down too
Both ####ed and probably put it in the ditch after a good drink
I ask the old bloke if its his car and he was driving? Yes he said
I ask again to make sure he understands me Yes the reply.
You drink alcohol and crash? No no alcohol.
Sorry No way Bye.
The old boy was not happy no idea what he was shouting at me but he was seriously pi**ed off screaming all the way up the road.
Hope I got it right and they had got stuck because he was ####ed
The French hold grudges forever if you upset them
Strange world we live in
