Bare bum in dressing room , AIBU.

This made me spit out my coffee. I was dreading the day ahead but now I will be thinking of that mans dangly bits and hairy arse!!! Seriously op you are lucky you didn't get brandished a perv languishing in the mens!!! Imagine if this was the other way around jeez!!

OP, how would you feel if a bloke was sat in the women’s changing rooms watching you and other women get changed?

Sorry but WTF were you doing in the mens changing room??? This is a ridiculous post. YABtotallyU

HopeMumsnet, please let it run, it is comedy gold!

You sat in the men’s changing room for half an hour and you’re now outraged a man got changed.. in the men’s changing room?! Surprised no one complained about you, seeing as it’s clearly you who was acting the weirdo here. He probably didn’t feel mega comfortable with your presence but he did what he had to do

Are 2 year olds even allowed swimming lessons if not accompanied by their adult?

You were being massively inappropriate sitting in the mens changing room for half an hour. Imagine the comments if it was a man sitting in a woman's changing room. If your son is really young he should be going in the womens with you and into a cubicle. You should not be going into the mens at all. Cant believe you omitted that massive detail! Also laughing that you're shocked men get changed in the changing room....

This has got to be a wind up. Surely there's no one so dense as to think you can go into a changing room and not see people people getting changed. Hilarious!

@JoanneObrien just pretend you’ve got asthma

Why didn't the man with the hairy arse (this reminds me of Mrs Doyle from Father Ted lol) tell her to leave? Perhaps he wanted her to see it, who knows there are some strange men about in swimming changing rooms. I read about some man who worked a swimming pool and planted hidden cameras in the women's changing rooms so he could look at naked women and children. He was arrested and charge with voyeurism ... dirty pervert.

Well, in this case it's the op who was the voyeur.

So are you telling us that every single other 2 year old that attends your child's lessons is a girl? They all must be - or you would have seen other mothers with 2 year old BOYS getting them changed in the WOMENS area and worked out the correct procedure then ..... it never crossed your mind just WHY the ladies changing was always so "busy"? No? And never ever any other mums popping in to use the MENS to change their little lad? Ever?

Yeah right. 😒

@MrsFoxPlus4Again

I might wander down to our local baths and see if I am allowed in the men's changing room .... oh wait I don't have a young child any more ..

I hope everyone has a great day and manages to avoid walking into anyone’s penis or see a hairy bare arse

I find your comments on his physical appearance really fucking rude, actually!

Imagine if a man went into the ladies and watched you change and said on an online forum “ugh she had a hairy beaver, disgusting” and “there was nothing up top to look at anyway!” (The equivalent of you saying his penis was nothing special).

Pretty fucking outrageous really. Wtf.

And btw when your son DOES need the loo, you still take him to the ladies until he is old enough to go alone to the men. YOU do not go into the men’s. Jesus Christ.

Woah hang on, you were in the men’s? I take back what I said about being uncomfortable earlier in that case. Really you’re lucky he didn’t complain about you.

Am I missing something? How on earth is a person supposed to get dressed in and out of a wet swimming costume without getting naked at some point?

He was naked facing the door with his dangly bit about to go in the face of anyone entering because the alternative was for him to turn round and then you'd have seen a lot more than his hairy bum...

Yes I suppose he could have wrapped a towel round himself but he was probably making a point about a woman being in the men's changing room.

Doesn’t matter if the women’s changing is small and crowded. You can’t go in the men’s! You certainly can’t go in the men’s and complain about naked bums!

The gym I go to is open plan (single sex) changing rooms with a couple of cubicles which nobody uses. Naked people everywhere. Normal.

I bet he thought you were a right pervert.......it’s not as if you were diving in and out with a small kid which would have been bad enough. You chose to sit in there without a kid for 30 mins of bum watching! If I’d been a bloke I’d have complained about you and had you thrown out!

pinkboa how horrible of you to go into the men’s changing room. And then to be such a b that you post here complaining about a man changing there? Absolutely pathetic!

People change in changing rooms - hardly surprising. And yes, they will still change in the changing room if there are children present. That's kind of the point of a changing room.

Op you were completely in the wrong for sitting in the men's changing room and are lucky that you haven't been asked to leave.

Well that took an unexpected turn from the first to the last page!

My son tells me that the blokes are all naked in the men's changing rooms (he doesn't really like it - apparently there's a lot of general naked wandering around and there are no cubicles and open showers in the mens). TBH, the women are too, although just while facing their lockers getting changed generally, plus showers are enclosed, and he probably just didn't notice when he was younger and in the ladies, because he preferred changing in a cubicle (which we have in the ladies)

OP. YABU for being in the men's changing rooms as an adult woman. Nudity in mens changing rooms appears to be the norm from what I understand.

You can’t get upset at seeing a man’s arse, hairy or not, in the men’s changing room.

@spanglydangly

There are no turds allowed in our private club
