To be disappointed with how soft play handled this man

I’m struggling with the scenario of an adult woman running over to tell tales to soft play staff, about a jokey comment.
They'll all be talking about the precious mummy now.

You certainly gave the staff something to laugh about. You actually wanted him to be asked to leave. Embarrassing.

I'm just pleased to read that most think you're unreasonable. It's nice to know that the majority of the population still has a sense of humour.

I’d have laughed.

but then I also have a dry sense of humour!

You directed your arse to his face.

He just joked about the facts of the situation.

You feel how you feel, but personally I’d not be taking you too seriously.

This. I would have laughed at that too. I'm sure a lot of women won't be happy until no one is allowed to speak in public in case it offends someone and we have to walk around looking serious all the time.

FFS.

Exactly. Just because some women are happy to / think it’s hilarious to be spoken to like extras in Carry On films, doesn’t mean that the rest of us think it’s funny. Nor does it give men the right to speak to those of us who dislike it, in this manner out in public spaces, when we just want to live our lives without the unwanted sexist commentary.

It’s disgusting and I would have been creeped out. So many think it’s funny and acceptable though so you’ll just have to shrug it off x

No, but I am now 🤣🤣

Is it just me or is anyone else thinking Bridget Jones and fireman's pole?

Sorry OP, it is quite funny. On the scale of creepy men making ick comments, this bloke didn't even reach 1.

Whatever you do OP, don't ever go and work in a boozer! You'd have a fit of the vapours within half an hour 😂

I honestly would've laughed, and possibly told him at least he got his money's worth!😂

Agreed. Massively inappropriate, sleazy and creepy remark for a man to make towards a woman, one that he doesn't know so can't even pass it off as "banter" between mates - not that that would necessarily make it okay. Definitely not acceptable. Happy to be called a prude for my opinion. 🤷‍♀️

Fighting talk!

Sorry op, I agree with pps, and I would have found it funny. I too thought it was going to be about something harmful to a child, which would of course need to be reported to the police. This, this is just a tame joke.

I hope you never watch Benny Hill! Or any 70s comedy!

Oh ffs is that it? 🤣🤣🤣It’s a joke he was just making light of an awkward situation. Be more aware of your surroundings in future.

I do think it was inappropriate and I agree that reporting it was a good move, but he apologised and realised he shouldn’t have said it. I would only remove him if he did it again.

I dunno, a stranger I might react differently but if a man I was pals with said such a thing I'd probably tell him he's need to pay extra for private performance.

I would have laughed. 😂

I'd find that gross and inappropriate to say in a place full of children. However, I doubt I would have done anything other than avoid speaking to him again.

If i was that bloke and you complained about me I'd be complaining about you for not looking where you where going and sticking your arse in my face

If getting an arse in the face is apparently not sexual at all then why was he saying he would have come sooner? What's there to enjoy about it if it's not sexual? It's very, very clearly a sexual comment and honestly all the women in here suggesting it's any different to face sitting have obviously just never heard of rimming.

I don't think it's funny either, but they listened to your complaint and spoke to him. I think that's reasonable.

Oh for goodness sake. Once again MN makes me wonder how some people function in normal life. It was a slightly awkward social interaction which he approached with humour.

But she did put her arse in his face. He was factually correct.

Had he said something like “had I known my £10 entry included someone sitting on my face, I’d have visited sooner” then I’d agree with you. The OP seems to have added a reference to “facesitting” in a later comment. If that’s what he said (not just what she inferred) then I think it makes a difference.
