A dad has been left embarrassed and in shock after changing his baby’s nappy in a women’s public toilet.
The frustrated 31-year-old dad was out shopping when his five-month-old baby filled his nappy and needed a change, but unable to find a parents’ room, he was left with little choice.
“I went over to the restrooms and saw that there wasn’t a family/companion restroom, just a men’s and women’s. I went into the men’s room and saw there was a cubicle and a few urinals, but no changing table. The sink didn’t have a counter either,” he explained on reddit.
“I walked out and hunted down an employee to ask where the changing table was. She said it was in the bathroom, and I asked where, assuming there was a family/companion restroom on the other side of the store. She took me back to where I just was. I asked if there was another bathroom, and she said no. I told her I was just in the bathroom and there was no changing table. She asked if I was sure and suggested I look again.
“I was annoyed, but I went back in the men’s room. No changing table. When I came out the employee was gone. Keep in mind, my son has been in his poopy diaper this whole time.”
Juggling a baby with a poo-filled nappy, the dad was fed up with trying to find somewhere safe and clean to change his baby son’s nappy. So he went where he knew there would be a place to change his nappy.
“I give up and head into the ladies’ room which sure enough had a changing table. There was a woman in there washing her hands, and she said, ‘Wrong bathroom, buddy.’
“I gestured to my son and said, ‘No changing table in the men’s room.’ She laughed and said, ‘Bro, that sucks.’ Then she walked out. So I rush to change him, hoping to be done before anyone else walked in. I’m almost done when a woman walks in and starts screaming at me. I tried to explain what I was doing, but she kept screaming, ‘Get out! You can’t be here!’ Then she ran out.”
“I finished putting the diaper on and rushed out of the bathroom. I saw the woman talking to an employee and decided to leave without my stuff. The employee tried to wave me down and stop me, but I rushed out to my car, buckled my son into his carseat and left.
“My wife said I absolutely did the right thing, but my mum said I’m an idiot and was 100% in the wrong. My sister won’t stop laughing at me and is no help at all. Am I the a**hole?”
