bonjour,
je me présente, Jérôme, 32 ans, j'habite Paris 15ème. Je cherche à réaliser quelques heures de ménage mais dans un contexte quelque peu particulier. Je suis en effet un jeune homme soumis et je cherche à faire le ménage chez une femme autoritaire. Mes services sont gratuits et cette annonce sérieuse. Si vous êtes intéressée ou si vous connaissez une personne qui pourrait l'être, je vous remercie d'avance de me le faire savoir.
Respectueusement
Jérôme
hello,
My name is Jerome, I'm 32 and I live in Paris. I am a quiet young man and I would like to do the housework at the home of an authoritative/domineering woman. My services are free and this email serious. If you are interested or you know anyone who might be, I would appreciate it if you would let me know.
Respectfully
Jerome
I have several questions, aside for the OMGWTFBBQ reaction which had me helpless with laughter for ten minutes.
1. Is "faire le menage" code for something, or does he actually mean he wants to do the housework?
2. Has he got alexia75 off a directory of women who perform these services or is he just emailing people at random? Is it in fact nothing to do with freaky French chick with weird sexual fetishes but something quite random?
3. WHY GOD WHY.
I emailed him back telling him politely that he had got an incorrect email address and we were not requiring or offering any of the services he had mentioned. And now all I can think of is his strange little face lighting up when he sees "alexia75" has got back to him so quickly, followed by the suffusement of mortification as he realises that somewhere in the world, an English woman and her friends are laughing mercilessly.
Classic.
