To have gone nuts at having 'shit' spurted up mine and DS's legs?

[IceCreamDebacle]

DS and I were getting changed in a cubicle at the swimming pool. Almost dressed when suddenly a stream of what I thought was shit spurted from the under the cubicle next to us going all up my legs, DS's and over our flip flops.

It took me a few seconds to register it at first and as the cubicle was silent (no baby sounds had come from it to explain a poonami and hadn't heard anyone in there), I suddenly thought that someone must have had diarrhoea in the next cubicle and a wave of bloody disgust comes over me.

I go and knock loudly on the cubicle and ask rather loudly what has just gone over the floor in the cubicle because we've got it over us.

A young girl about 12/13 opens it in only in a towel which I felt bad about afterwards and says she does not not what it is but it hit her on the shoulder.

It transpires that someone had lobbed a melted ice cream in a carton over her cubicle. It looked exactly like shit. She didn't get it on her as it slatted on the floor and hit us.

When the relief of seeing it wasn't someone's excrement had passed, I was still bloody furious that someone had done that and ranted a bit at the staff calling them 'little shits' in front of DS which he told me off about afterwards. I then ranted a bit again at reception and told them to look at their CCTV. Not blaming them but saying I'd never seen this sort of behavior in my life and they shouldn't be letting kids come back in the changing room when they'd bought food from the cafe.

Feel a bit like I went OTT now. Am a bit ragey at the best of times due to various things that I'm dealing with.

Would you have gone nuts at this?

Oh ffs yet another angry miserable bint moaning about nothing...bored are you what with it being half term?

You intimidated a half naked young girl, members of staff and swore in front of your son. I don’t care how you dress it up or if there was indeed actual shit on your leg you behaved like a shittily. As another poster said had I caught you bullying staff or a young girl attempting to get changed shit on your leg would have been the least of your worries.

To summarise, you were massively unreasonable. And a bully. Even your ds was ashamed of you enough to tell you off.

Oh FFs what a ridiculous woman you are!

You would have been able to smell diarrohea a bloody mile away!

YWBU in the extreme to have upset a young girl like that. You should be ashamed.

Blimey, it was only an ice cream.

Who said the girl was upset?

I am baffled as to how ice cream could be confused for poo.

But yes YABU for getting so angry over this.

Er you banged loudly on the door and spoke loudly that's what you said in your OP.

Look you admit to being ragey and not in a good place so sometimes we lose our shit and over react. Honestly stop trying to justify yourself and just quietly give your head a wobble and realise that you handled it badly.

Hope you apologis f to the girl and the staff. Yes you were ott, and you need to learn to control it.

The sheer amount of it was what was made me think it was diarrhoea and the colour.

You'd have had to have been there!

So speaking loudly's been conflated to shouting now has it?

YABU. Shit smells nothing like ice cream. That should have been immediately obvious. Yes, it's very annoying to get something splashed on your leg - agreed. But ranting at a child and the staff? Totally over the top reaction. You seem to have anger management issues. You are setting your own child a very poor example of how to behave.

I only asked her what it was and she opened the door

Err no you said you knocked loudly and asked loudly, which probably translates as banging and shouting. You probably frightened her.

A ragey unhinged woman banging on cubicle doors and shouting would put my dd off going swimming on her own tbh, she is quite shy, they are at that age ime. Too right you should have said sorry.

Also this is one of those ‘aibu?’ ‘Yes’ ‘no i’m not you bunch of bitches’ threads isn’t it. Good o.

So, thinking that someone had diarrhoea (which would obviously be horrifically humiliating to them, if the case), you loudly banged on their door and publicly asked them to explain? Seems like quite an unpleasant reaction.

You also don't seem to have been too concerned about whether the other child was ok after apparently having had ice cream thrown at her.

What noises would you expect from a young girl in a cubicle alone? She'd have no one to exclaim to. And to be honest, if someone was banging on the door asking for an explanation, I don't blame her for making an excuse if it was in fact her.

In all, you've overreacted. It's a bit of ice cream. After the initial shock it shouldn't have been that big a deal.

Honestly even if she'd dropped it accidentally then not owned up, nobody would be pissed off about having ice cream spurted all over them then?

If you can't tell choc ice cream isn't diarrhoea, then you need your sense of smell checked.

I bet it looked nothing like it, too.

Feel a bit like I went OTT now. Am a bit ragey at the best of times due to various things that I'm dealing with

Fair enough but now you're ramping up the rage again by arguing on mn. If your little child has to speak to you about your behaviour then it's a safe bet that YABU

Ah come on you're back tracking on your own OP now. You were the one that said you felt bad about knocking loudly and "asking rather loudly". A raised voice is generally an angry voice. Honestly OP you need to get a grip of yourself you sound unhinged and worse to immature to admit when you have behaved badly.

Ye gods. She said someone had thrown it at that point, so I shouldn't have been angry that someone was chucking stuff in cubicles that hit us then?

Shit stinks (obviously). You would have been gagging rather than questioning is this shit up our legs? Also a runny shit looks nothing like melted chocolate ice cream.
YABU but as a parent of a 21 and a 9 year old I've seen it all now. Were they purposefully targetting the 12 year old? Poor kid. Gets dumped on and ranted at.

too not to

How big a tub of ice cream was this?

How old is your DS that he can tell you off but still shares a cubicle?

I think you were out of line.

Did you even give her a chance to say anything tho? You were round there banging on her door before your brain had even registered it wasn’t shit. Shit has quite a distinctive smell idk if you’ve noticed.

No most people wouldn't be pissed off. Irritated maybe but understanding that sometimes these things happen and it's no big deal. Certainly not irritating enough to react the way you did.
