unreasonable to wash armpits in restaurant toilets?

[justsosweatyandsmelly]

Was very sweaty and hot today when went out for lunch and I noticed I had whiffy body odour from armpits despite showering this morning and deodorant etc so quickly washed my armpits in the toilets and two women came in and said it was disgusting? wibu? I didn't think it was that bad really.

I think stinking would be more disgusting

Well it is a washroom, people normally wash invisible particles of piss and shit off their hands at the sink, why is it so offensive that you washed your armpits?

Stinking would be far worse!

I can't see how it's any worse than men holding their penis to urinate then washing their hands in the sink.

Interesting username Op.
Is that your usual one?

I have done this before in a similar situation. Yanbu.

Is this for real? Not the washing the armpits bit I've done it, but what the women said to you? How rude.

It also doesn't make any sense. 'For sure, wipe your fanny but don't you dare get a paper towel and dap at your armpits in this room, thankyouverymuch.'

Next time wash them in the basins.

more detail needed - was this a full strip wash?

of course it isn't my usual one as you knew full well, I namechanged as I was telling my friends about it and didn't want them linking my name to other posts should one of them come on here.

thanks for replying, I just quickly washed the sweaty smell away then rinsed the soap off so not offending anyone! should have said that about wiping particles of shit and piss

Where are all these rude people who walk up to others to say things about really average/normal things, that most people wouldn't bat an eyelid at?

I just never seem to encounter them?

Perhaps I've got a fuck off face

I'd much rather be seen washing my armpits in public than stink.

No, Worra, I've never encountered them either.
Until I came on to MN that is .

Isn't that what what WC are for.

Did you blow dry them under the dryer à la Madge in 'Desperately Seeking Susan' too?

thanks worra, really helpful post, that.

Did you forget to mention in your OP that you removed your dress and bra first so they wouldn't get wet?

If not, then no, I don't think it's unreasonable to wash your armpits in the bathroom!

Were you hoping for some handholding, OP?

not, not hand holding, i'm just stunned anyone would think I'd make such a stupid post up unless I misread the tone and the implication is I'm an argumentative bastard who shouts at random women when armpit washing thus goading them into response.

Charlie haha no sleeveless top so a quick wash

of course YANBU, wish more peoplevdid a quick wash!

Damn chive you beat me to it.

How did you wash your armpits without wetting your front? Why didn't you just wet some tissue and use that? Why weren't you carrying deoderant with you?

Fakebook: do you have deodorant in your handbag?

fakebook, I wet my hands then wiped each armpit, then lathered my hands with soap put a bit on each armpit then rinsed my hands and wiped damp hands on each armpit until the soap had gone. then dried with a bit of tissue. didn't have deodorant with me because I guess i'm just not that organised ...
