   Been trying to contact a shipwright, ANY shipwright, in France, to help with my annual boat maintenance and, is it a French thing that NOBODY EVER FUCKING ANSWERS THEIR FUCKING EMAIL?

   Do not make me fucking phone you. I am neurodivergent and I don't speak French.

     @pseudomonas Yeah, see, I'm not getting as far as the "you get a reply" part.

     @goatsarah Belgium does that too. you email and you get a reply saying "when can we phone you" rather than taking the fact I filled in my phone number as +32 00000000 as a hint.

     @pseudomonas Anyway, whenever French people ask for my phone number, I give them the +351 one.

     That's got to terrify them, right?
