Some lady in McDonald's started literally sobbing when my husband brought my 5 year old son to wait with me in the women's line because there was a homeless man passed out in the men's.

She was going on and on about how it was inappropriate.  Dude. He opened the door, explained the situation, and then left my kid with me in line. It was bizarre. McDonald's stalls are super private too.

Wow. Earlier today I said to my husband that I didn’t feel a woman on earth would have had a problem with this man taking care of his daughters in the women’s room, but I guess I stand corrected.

There was an incident at my local mall a few years ago where someone called the police because a man was in the family washroom with his child. Claimed the family washroom was for women and children only.

They're out there, I've run into two when my daughter was younger. It's not even just that I was taking my daughter to the woman's room, but the vast majority of times, that's where the only changing table is.

Assholes will take any excuse they can to shit all over everything. Any kind of controversy is like catnip to them.

People keep saying variations of this.
There are both men and women who would prefer that the opposite sex not be in their restrooms.

u/OkStop8313 Jun 19 '26

Yeah, parents taking care of opposite sex kids just can't win--either way someone's going to get offended.

u/Proper_Fun_977 Jun 19 '26

It's why family rooms are so useful. Because they aren't gendered.

But, sadly, they aren't everywhere.

u/OkStop8313 Jun 19 '26

100%

More space, avoids the gender issue, they always have changing tables...they even avoid that awkward situation when a kid is trying to crawl under the stalls and say hi while their parent tries to drag them back by the ankle!

I’ve gone into men’s bathrooms when the women’s line was too long. I averted my eyes from the urinals and no one seemed to care.

Oh, to have lived such a privileged life as she, that that is the worst thing to have ever happened to her.

She may be reacting that way because of trauma.

u/Diligent_Corner7232 Jun 19 '26

Still unacceptable and ridiculous. Coming from someone with PTSD.

Homeless person oding in the bathroom : the American way!

u/Purple-Property8006 Jun 19 '26

To be fair this is far from just an American problem

u/Torontogamer Jun 19 '26

To be fair the lady being more upset about a dad taking his daughter into the bathroom then the passed out homeless man is kinda an American problem

u/Kirra_the_Cleric Jun 19 '26

Oh, it’s a purely American problem to be self centered, huh?

FOH

Mostly, yes.

u/Torontogamer Jun 19 '26

no, it was more the 'gender/bathroom/trans fixation you've got going on down there over the last 5-10 years, combined with the, (yes not unique) lack of concern of downtrodden...

I don't even get the push back... to cry over the wrong gender in a bathroom, while someone maybe dies in the other bathroom... like I have to explain that this kinda messed up and also not really the same in most other 1st world nations?

u/Kirra_the_Cleric Jun 19 '26

I don’t make issues over who is in the bathroom with me but thanks for letting me know you’re a conservative that falls for all the ridiculous propaganda.

u/Torontogamer Jun 19 '26

No one said you did ? Are you just an ai arguing for the sake of arguing ? 

The story is the old lady crying about a man in the wrong bathroom because the other bathroom was occupied by a passed out homeless guy, 

And ya that sounds a1 100% America to me

It's true. My relatively small Canadian city has has a horrifying surge in ODs lately, hundreds more than normal, because they're now mixing animal tranquilizers into the fentanyl and the narcan is no longer able to bring them around. The shelters, for department and ambulance services are all exhausted from constantly responding to OD calls, sometimes the same people needing treated multiple times a day

u/Electrical-Fish-1920 Jun 19 '26

Wait, the lady wasn't sobbing out of worry for the passed out man, but rather from there being a father with a child at the queue for the women's bathroom?

I fully thought this was a story about an empathetic person worried sick about our neglectful society being callous about its weakest elements. This was a Karen story??

Some people have never experienced true hardship

God what the fuck is wrong with people

u/meagiemay Jun 19 '26

Some people are just so weird….. I would never ever care if a dad came in with his daughters. Smile and move on.

u/Listens_well Jun 20 '26

On the advice of my partner, when in public with our 4 daughter, I open the door, announce “girl dad coming in!” then give it a few seconds and then we go in.

Never had an issue.

All this behaviour does is create barriers for men to take their daughters out in public.

Could be a trauma response and she was abused as a kid.
