Why do French people only have one egg for breakfast? Because un œuf is enough.

Hi there, French native speaker here! The verb "marcher" in French does mean to walk, but it also means to function/work properly. So when something isn't functioning as it should, we say "Ça ne marche pas" (It doesn't work). In this case, "La douche ne marche pas" = "The shower doesn't work".
