to be fuming?

Took ds 2 to his swim lesson this afternoon. He went in the shower after lesson, I put our things in cubicle , went back to shower to get him out. (4 doors from cubicle). Turned back, someone had thrown our clothes out of cubicle onto wet floor, gone into cubicle and shut door. I was gobsmacked! Totally understand it's annoying if x people put stuff in.cubicles and bugger off for 20 mins but ffs! I, was 4 doors up getting 7 yr old out, shower! I was so angry. I shouted something about sine incredibly rude person has thrown my sons clean clothes on wet floor, and several, mums sympathised. How bloody rude?

This is the recent thread, maybe you fell victim to a MNer.

Surely you get the cubicle when you're ds is ready to use it. Surely he can sort himself out anyway. No reason for his mum to reserve his cubicle whilst he was showering.

even on the most recent thread on this subject, certainly not 'everyone' suggested dumping a kid's clothes on a wet floor. fucking harsh.

I guess the other parent didn't know if you had left your stuff there for half and hour or 1 minute. Nothing more annoying to go swimming and finding every cubicle 'reserved', you should have waited until your ds was ready to use it.
Personally I don't quite see why you were even there, surely at 7 your ds can sort himself out whilst you wait in the cafe?
Was a bit harsh putting the clothes on the floor if benches etc were available though. Lesson learnt I guess.

I have taken clothes out and put them by door when I needed to get my son changed. Every cubicle was full (as they always are) and I didn't know the lady's son was in the shower. I didn't dump them on the floor all wet though- the clothes were all safe and dry in a bag.
The lady came back and was so rude to me I was taken aback. I hadn't meant to be rude, I was just desperate to get my son (4) changed and assumed it was a kid who was in a lesson for half an hour who had left clothes there. I'm pretty sure I wasn't being unreasonable.

My 7 year old DS never rinses his hair properly.

I wait for him to come to me, then send him back to redo it, hence, still saving my cubicle.

Try that next time. You didn't do anything wrong, but you have to adjust your behaviour to account for the arseholes that seem to abound.

I didn't dump them on the floor all wet though- the clothes were all safe and dry in a bag.

There's the big difference though, you didn't leave another child to go home in soaked clothes - I doubt OP would be quite so furious had her ds's clothes not been dumped on a wet floor.

Interesting comments. No artistic licence with timing, that, was why I was so shocked. Whoever chucked our stuff on the floor must, have virtuallyfollowed me in. Theycertainly didn't bother to look up or, say who's stuff is this. How long does it take to walk (dash) 4 doors along, yell "rinse it properly" and turn back! Because it was in that space of time that our clothes, were thrown on wet floor. And thanks for the advice re 7 year Olds should be sorting themselves out: a) not all 7 yr Olds are the same and b) my thread was, about the rudeness of people, not about my parenting which clearly isn't up to much! But I would never be so disrespectful as to throw a Childs clothes on a, wet, filthy pool floor.

This happened to me once, DD was taking ages in the shower so I went to ask her to hurry up, you have to go through double doors to get to the shower area. The person went and locked themselves in the cubicle with all DD's stuff still in there, leaving a 6 year old shivering in her swimsuit. They did hand it over when I knocked on the door though. Again it could have been there for hours for all they knew, so I can see their POV but I was a bit pissed off.

I can see that someone was annoyed. I'm not disputing that. I'm furious, that in a very short space of time someone thought it was ok to.pick up a, Childs clothes and, throw, them on the wet floor. That was my original post.

When you left your belongings unattended, even for a moment, you took a risk that someone would take or move them.

If you complete your shower, then collect your clothes, then go to the cubicle, you'll avoid this risk in future.

And it's pool policy that under 8s have to be accompanied in the changing rooms so no, I couldn't sit in caf while ds sorted himself out. Not that there is a, caf. Not, that sort of pool!

Didn't you wait for them to give them feedback?
