Just back from soft play hell. Ds1 was in the bit for older children playing happily, I was in the under 3's bit with ds2 who is 20 months.

A couple get in with their little girl who must have been about 1. After about 5 mins she was sick a large Amount of food. I picked up ds2 and brought him out while I thought they would sort out their dd, they took a baby wipe and cleaned her face and a second wipe to the floor. Then carried on playingShock. The floor and baby still has sick on them and they had her crawling all over the place.

I just sat there in disbelief and obviously with a huge wedgy from my judgey pants being hiked so high. Obviously I told one of the staff and we then all had to leave, much to the disgust of ds1.

Please tell me this is the worst it gets, there can't be scummier people than that out there!

That is foul. YANBU to be judgey.

ItsAllTLAsToMe · 28/03/2013 13:53

This is why I don't go to soft play. All of the vomit at the bottom of the ball pit.

thezebrawearspurple · 28/03/2013 13:54

That is disgusting, how on earth do they think that ok?Shock

lunar1 · 28/03/2013 13:55

It's making my skin crawl to think about it, both boys were in the bath within 10 mins of getting home!

It is disgusting, but I am going to lob in the kids'party I was at. Little girl, 3 or 4 years old soiled herself (pants, not nappy) It smelled disgusting and started to run down her legs. No way the parents didn't notice it but did nothing. I was heaving from the smell.

NeoMaxiZoomDweebie · 28/03/2013 14:02

I would like to add the friend who changes her 3 year old's nappy with him on the floor in front of 5 other people eating a buffet. It was a poo aswell.

SirBoobAlot · 28/03/2013 14:06

Ew. Ew. EW.

Another reason not to visit soft play centers...

spanky2 · 28/03/2013 14:11

Someone I know knew her dd had done a poo on the soft play area and was not bothered about looking for it and expected the staff to do it. They weren't bothered .Shock

BegoniaBampot · 28/03/2013 14:15

Found a poo in the older kids section. The kids were all just giggling and upping over it, god knows how long it was there! Also saw a poo in the local swimming pool once.

BlueberryHill · 28/03/2013 14:24

Poo in a gym shower, adult size as well.

Softlysoftly · 28/03/2013 14:25

Friends pfb came out of the soft play tunnel once aged about 8mnths hands covered on chocolate.

Only it wasn't chocolate. ....

We were in a restaurant and Mr & Mrs Lardyarse were sat opposite us while their two children ran rings around another customer while his carer fed him (major cp, in a wheelchair). Kids were staring lots but continuing to run around, being loud and obnoxious between mouthfuls of chips and ketchup. Parents were cramming burgers and fries down their own necks ignoring their offspring until one of the waitresses had a quiet word. Mrs Lardyarse screeched at the boys to sit down and one then puked all over the table. It was vile. Waitress (bless her) brought a load of napkins over for Mrs Lardyarse to clear up her kid's vomit GrinGrinGrin who then realised she was being glared at by everyone but the guy with cp who, lucky for him, had his back to the whole thing.
Mrs Lardyarse arse then pronounced to the whole room, in her best EastEnders, "Ee ain' wew" (Roughly translates as 'he is unwell') in response to the judging, huffing and tutting.
That family were the stuff of nightmares.

Tailtwister · 28/03/2013 14:27

Yuck! That's absolutely foul.

As for the poo...who in their right mind poos in a public shower! That's one of the rankest things I've ever heard.

One of the worst things I've ever seen was in a baby changing room/toilet. Honestly, the whole toilet, sink and floor was covered with liquid shit. It was horrific. I only opened the door, hadn't stepped in thankfully.

badtasteflump · 28/03/2013 14:31

Ew I hate soft play centres for that reason - thank god mine are getting a bit old to want to go to them Grin

Years ago we went to a birthday party at one of these places - the birthday child was wearing a big birthday badge with a huge pin through - which he suddenly realised the pin had come off somwhere in the ball pit and he was just left with the front bit. His mum told the staff who basically said that things get lost in there all the time and they couldn't possibly begin to find anything Shock

BlissfullyIgnorant · 28/03/2013 14:31

SIL tells me of changing room horror stories, all in ladies' attire: poo on floor, used towels (yes, THAT kind) on floor, tampons on floor - also used, along with applicators, soiled knickers left behind...there are even women who try on clothes and hand them back to the fitting room attendant as 'poor fit' complete with period stains.
She gave up on women's clothing and now does footwear.

HappyJoyful · 28/03/2013 14:34

I'm not squeamish and don't consider my stomach to turn easily, but an adults poo in a shower would have me running for nearest toilet to vomit in. Kids puke/sick possibly not so.

I know I stopped going to the gym after I saw women cutting her toe nails all over changing room and don't get me started on public swimming pool changing rooms, as I say, don't consider stomach turned easily, but the slimy floors and used sanitary towel I found once has put me off said pool for life.

complexnumber · 28/03/2013 14:52

Hot snot, bogey pie
All washed down with a dead dog's eye
Mix it quick and mix it thick
All washed down with a cold cup of sick.

Being served at a soft play centre near you.

TheElephantIsADaintyBird · 28/03/2013 15:00

There's no such thing as an adult sized poo blueberry, my DS (3) does poos waaaay bigger than mine!

I'd love to open the worlds first hygienic soft play centre. I'd sit there all night scrubbing each ball with a anti-bac wipes...it's the stuff of dreams.

EmpireBiscuit · 28/03/2013 15:01

I used to work in a sunbed shop and had to empty pee out of the cubicle waste paper bins more than once boak

MaidMiniEgg2012 · 28/03/2013 15:17

What a delightful thread!!!!

People never fail to disgust me Shock

LadyMaryCrawley · 28/03/2013 15:23

We once had to clear an adult poo out of a urinal at work. The perp had done it during the interval. And we weren't sold out either so it's not like there was a massive queue for cubicles.

lunar1 · 28/03/2013 15:23

I really wish I hadn't started this, who knew people could be so minging!
