I take DS to swimming. I got the times wrong turned up for the wrong lesson. I decide to go back to the changing room to wait. I find it hard to breath in the pool area, 30 minutes is ok, an hour and I can feel my asthma begin to act up.

There is a dad there getting his daughters dressed (fine) he was in the pool and he's down to his underwear.

Another dad arrives with his son, him and my DS are in the same lesson.

Anyways dad of daughters decides to get dressed... he drops his pants and is stark naked in front of his daughters. He is also by the door so if another parent was coming in their child would have walked into his penis! And it wasn't less than a minute because he was drying himself as well 🤢...

There are cubicles. He could have used a towel as well.

Why would and adult choose to get naked in a dressing room at a swim lesson for children with strangers around.

AIBU to find it bizarre?

His bum was also hairy and unattractive 🤢.

I thought you went to the room that corresponds with the sex of the child.

No you didn’t, like you said the female changing rooms is packed full and there’s more room in the males.

Aquamarine1029 · 26/11/2019 23:47

You are beyond absurd and ridiculous. A man was changing in a MEN'S changing room.

Give your head a massive wobble. It's hard to believe a person can be this clueless.

Grin naked man seen in men’s changing room by woman who chose to sit about in it for half an hour.

Bullshit.

Lipperfromchipper · 26/11/2019 23:47

I thought this was the equivalent to taking a male child to use a male restroom.

You’re not supposed to do that either OP!! Hmm you take a 2 yr old male to the female toilets if he is with you....because YOU are female!!

ApexPrey · 26/11/2019 23:47

LMAO! That reveal

"Sorry it wasn't unisex it's the men's. It's always empty as there are less dads at lessons so I take my son in there"

totally turned this into one of the most ridiculous threads I've ever seen on mumsnet!!

"I was in the men's changing rooms and a man was getting changed, AIBU?"

Jesus Christ.

ArtieFufkinPolymerRecords · 26/11/2019 23:47

I did explain why I don't go to the females... the changing room is small there are more women and children. It is always crowded.

FFS you can't just decide to go in the men's because the women's is busier! Presumably more mums than dads take their children to lessons - tough shit.

MistyCloud · 26/11/2019 23:48

Wait, what? It was the MALE changing room? I'm confused.... Confused

backs away slowly out of the thread........ but spies on it from the sidelines!

TrixieFranklin · 26/11/2019 23:48

I really want the daily mail to pick this one up, it's the sort of thing that could make the front page
'Man changes in Male changing room'

Icanflyhigh · 26/11/2019 23:48

@Pinkboa.... your son is 2????
Stop being a fucking troll. As if you didn't know you shouldn't use the mens changing room.

Crowded or not, your changing room is the womens facility, along with your son until he's at least 8yo.

Unbelievable.

draughtycatflap · 26/11/2019 23:48

I’m picturing you sitting there gasping and clutching your pearls while leaning in for a closer 👀 at hairy bum, hairy bum, hairy bum. Oh my!

Admit it OP, you stayed longer hoping for a bit of reverse dangle didn’t you!

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 26/11/2019 23:48

You don’t go in the men’s loos with your little boy, surely?

Redglitter · 26/11/2019 23:49

I thought you went to the room that corresponds with the sex of the child

You need to keep your story straight. You said you used the mens because it was quiet.

NOONE takes a 2 year old to the loo/changing room that corresponds with their sex when its the opposite of the parents

I think the mans arse isnt the only hairy thing on this thread

pinkboa · 26/11/2019 23:49

He's 2 why would he be using a men's restroom... he's still in nappies. I said equivalent to...

There are no cubicles at my local pool - just two open plan changing rooms with no curtains etc. They're not even designated male/female, so anyone can use any changing room.
I hate it, but it's the only pool anywhere near me that does swimming lessons for my daughter's age group.
Count yourself lucky, OP! Next time, stick to the ladies.

Be carful you don’t accidentally reverse into naked man’s penis! 🍆

Fuckenstein · 26/11/2019 23:50

First you said you use the mens because the women's is busier. Then you say you thought you were supposed to Hmm pick a story and stick to it.

MrsFoxPlus4Again · 26/11/2019 23:51

My husbands really not amused at my giggling Grin

carolinelucaseshandbag · 26/11/2019 23:51

OP do you take your son into the men's loos instead of the female loos as well?!
I (and clearly everyone else) just find it utterly bizarre that you chose to sit in the men's changing room for half an hour Confused, never mind then coming on here and complaining about a naked arse.
Have you never seen signs that tell you that you need to go into the correct-sex changing room after the age of 8 - not 38!!!!!

TrixieFranklin · 26/11/2019 23:51

I googled to find a trolls hairy bum but this was all I could find Sad

Bare bum in dressing room , AIBU.
NameChange84 · 26/11/2019 23:52

But it's not the equivalent to is it?

Because you don't, as a female, accompany a 5 year old boy (for example) into the MALE toilets.

My DAD never took me into the LADIES toilets when I was 3...because that would be WRONG of him.

As a grown woman you don't have any right to be in a male space and vice versa. Child or no child.

MrsFoxPlus4Again · 26/11/2019 23:53

@TrixieFranklin make a wanted poster

ApexPrey · 26/11/2019 23:54

When my kids swim I usually wait in the café area. The other day a woman there was drinking COFFEE!!

AIBU to find it bizarre???

MistyCloud · 26/11/2019 23:54

LOL @TrixieFranklin

Titsywoo · 26/11/2019 23:54

Why were you in there for 30 mins?! This has got to be bullshit.
