Forget Nadal, I'm retiring from Paris injured

[Deleted member 688153]

I'm on holiday in Europe at the moment and I just cut my tongue on a baguette. They sure make them crusty here. I forgot how bad it tastes, now I can't enjoy my meal.

I went to the Wimbledon museum again last week so I think this is tennis-related enough to be here


Look it's been a long day and I'm tired. I had my wallet stolen yesterday too on the Metro. I could make a Hunchback of Notre Dame reference here but I'll be nice

The croissants are where it is at.

I ordered a brioche instead this morning and I'm not complaining

The proper way of eating a baguette is not licking it.

Sorry to hear about the wallet, though. One has to be very mindful of their pockets in the metro.

Must have been a hard baguette lol

What's with this cliché about France and baguettes ?

 

[beltsman]

Paris doesn't even look like Paris anymore.

 

[EloQuent]

Paris doesn't even look like Paris anymore.

It's too crowded, nobody goes there anymore.

Do you miss the small streets and the open sewers from the time you were a resident in the 17th century?

 

[tennis_pro]

if only that lol

btw op it's funny how you mentioned your stolen wallet as a bonus to your story, like you had 5 more in case you lost the first one

The question is, what was he doing in the area around Place Pigalle?



P.S. Sorry for your loss.

 

[True Fanerer]

I've never had my wallet stolen. I've lost it many times back in the day when I was a drunken youth.

 

[Bender]

I walk around with a copy of my credit card bills in the hope that when I get pickpocketed all they steal is my debt

It only had about 30 euros in it so not a disaster. I did have to cancel a couple of cards though

I was chewing a piece of it, it basically stabbed me. Tasted great tho

Yeah they seem to sell them everywhere here

When I was about to board a Metro from La Défense to Musée d'Orsay, this old French man with a thick French accent looked so lost and asked me which metro he should take to go to Château de Vincennes. Here me thinking I thought I was the tourist, not him!

He was asking where you keep your wallet. The French can speak English like that sometimes.

Lololol this is funny

Lol he could hardly walk, let alone pinch my non existent wallet. He was looking so exhausted.

In that case it was his unseen accomplice who was looking to take the wallet.

Perfects disguise is perfect. Like a drop volley.

Also, people that got mugged tend to talk about non existing wallets. Just ask the OP.

 

[Deleted member 688153]

Also I was approached by a petition scammer yesterday. Fortunately after my loss the other day I've done some reading and I'm wise to their tricks now and will be a lot more careful in the future.

If someone approaches you to sign a petition, just tell them to go away. They're looking to rob you while you're distracted filling out the form

 

[junior74]

Go for drinks at Le Syndicat, @Firstservingman

Drop the beet!

 

[Luka888]

I feel bad for you. I keep everything in my wallet. It's silly.

My French is beyond horrible. I managed to get lost in Paris. Does anybody speak English? They thought I was American and just ignored me. I said, no Canadian ... oh, no problem. Everyone wanted to help. Funny.

If you go to Paris make sure you visit Louvre Museum. It is amazing

Wallet is so 1920s. I keep my credit cards on my watch.

Nope. I like it the old way. Wallets. Well, I have a collection. Different styles, different colors. It does matter. The art of wallets . I love shoes too. Match your wallet with your shoes.

Guys that understand "sneakers" when they hear about "shoes" will have difficulties getting your point.

Much harder than all the bagels and baguettes Nadal will be dishing out with ease at Roland Garros in a few weeks!

 

[norcal]

When in tourist destinations (or on trains in general) I keep my wallet in my front pocket. Thieves are the worst.

Mine was in my front pocket.

I bought a coat with zippered internal pockets the very same afternoon though. If there's one thing you can buy easily in Paris, it's decent clothes

 

[sureshs]

Whenever I travel, I keep my wallet and phone in a closed bag which is always with me, either as a backpack, belt pouch, or cross slung. I never keep anything in my pockets other than trivial temporary stuff.

Did you have to retaliate by setting Notre Dame on fire? That was a bit extreme, no?

 

[sureshs]

This must be a first: Man injured by baguette.

I think you don't understand how bad baguettes can be to people.

Obviously ewe r anne expert at consooming them.

Last week, a guy jumped me from behind and snatched my wallet with credit cards.
Did not yet report to police as he is spending far less than my wife.

 

[Deleted member 688153]

Gee I'm glad I didn't visit Notre Dame this evening, it's burning to the ground

King Rafa has had incidents with bananas and plates

Well, I got injured just watching you play tennis.

And bees!

OP must leave Europe asap. Notre Dame is on fire. Isis has just been defeated. Very bad omen.

That's a tragedy!!! I feel very very sad. Lucky I've taken so many photos of it from so many angles, interior and exterior.

(In before the troll saying I'm responsible for the fire)

Baguette can give you lung cancer.

So sorry for your loss!

Has Paris become a third world city? I was in Colombo recently, and nobody robbed me nor stole my belongings.

My friend accidentally left her phone in a busy mini market in the city centre and 1 hour later she came back to the same place and enquired about her lost phone and the manager came to her and gave her phone back in one piece. She wanted to offer him a reward, but the gorgeous looking manager refused.
