It is a master stroke of the municipality of Menzel Jemil, which, on March 18, 2025, decided to solve a major problem which affects the daily life of its inhabitants: the shaking of the carpets and the expansion of the linen.
Yes, you read that right. According to the municipality’s press release, shaking your carpets in the street is now an offense. And no, it’s not a joke. This daily gesture could, according to local wisdom, disturb and dirty passers -by.
But wait, that’s not all! Did you think you could quietly extend your laundry on your balcony or on the street? Well, think again! In Menzel Jemil, the weighing of wet linen outside the regulatory schedule, that is to say after 8:00 p.m. and before 7:00 am, is strictly prohibited.
Yes, that’s it, you have to obey the schedules, under penalty of sanctions. Because who would have thought that wet linen could be such a serious problem for society?
The municipality, with all its greatness and its sense of order, specifies that offenders will be liable to sanctions, according to the regulations in force. Because after all, there is nothing more urgent than preserving the integrity of the sidewalks of Menzel Jemil against the shaken carpets and the too visible linen.
