So today I asked my French teacher what would be the appropriate thing to do since I forgot to pay the doctor last Friday and she forgot to ask me to pay.
He said ppffff (a most very French way of answering any question… you just sort of blow air out of the corner of your mouth and shrug your shoulders at the same time). Tant pis pour elle! Loosely translated, that’s tough shit for her!
It was a completely French response. But it still amazed me.
Ah, French attitude…very like Indian attitude!
