Bare bum in dressing room , AIBU.

[pinkboa]

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 🤢.

Am I missing something? How on earth is a person supposed to get dressed in and out of a wet swimming costume without getting naked at some point?

[snowball28]

Woah hang on, you were in the men’s? I take back what I said about being uncomfortable earlier in that case. Really you’re lucky he didn’t complain about you.

[crispysausagerolls]

I find your comments on his physical appearance really fucking rude, actually!

Imagine if a man went into the ladies and watched you change and said on an online forum “ugh she had a hairy beaver, disgusting” and “there was nothing up top to look at anyway!” (The equivalent of you saying his penis was nothing special).

Pretty fucking outrageous really. Wtf.

And btw when your son DOES need the loo, you still take him to the ladies until he is old enough to go alone to the men. YOU do not go into the men’s. Jesus Christ.

I hope everyone has a great day and manages to avoid walking into anyone’s penis or see a hairy bare arse

@MrsFoxPlus4Again

I might wander down to our local baths and see if I am allowed in the men's changing room .... oh wait I don't have a young child any more ..

[GreigLaidlawsbarofsoap]

So are you telling us that every single other 2 year old that attends your child's lessons is a girl? They all must be - or you would have seen other mothers with 2 year old BOYS getting them changed in the WOMENS area and worked out the correct procedure then ..... it never crossed your mind just WHY the ladies changing was always so "busy"? No? And never ever any other mums popping in to use the MENS to change their little lad? Ever?

Yeah right. 😒

[Hearhoovesthinkzebras]

Why didn't the man with the hairy arse (this reminds me of Mrs Doyle from Father Ted lol) tell her to leave? Perhaps he wanted her to see it, who knows there are some strange men about in swimming changing rooms. I read about some man who worked a swimming pool and planted hidden cameras in the women's changing rooms so he could look at naked women and children. He was arrested and charge with voyeurism ... dirty pervert.

Well, in this case it's the op who was the voyeur.

[MrsFoxPlus4Again]

@JoanneObrien just pretend you’ve got asthma

[Hotchox]

This has got to be a wind up. Surely there's no one so dense as to think you can go into a changing room and not see people people getting changed. Hilarious!

[HopeMumsnet]

Hi all,
Thanks to all who reported worries that this was a troll, we can see why this post caught the eye but we're inclined to let it run as the OP has a decent posting record with us.

[mintoreo]

You were being massively inappropriate sitting in the mens changing room for half an hour. Imagine the comments if it was a man sitting in a woman's changing room. If your son is really young he should be going in the womens with you and into a cubicle. You should not be going into the mens at all. Cant believe you omitted that massive detail! Also laughing that you're shocked men get changed in the changing room....

[Escapedgoats]

Are 2 year olds even allowed swimming lessons if not accompanied by their adult?

[Yeahnahyeah1]

You sat in the men’s changing room for half an hour and you’re now outraged a man got changed.. in the men’s changing room?! Surprised no one complained about you, seeing as it’s clearly you who was acting the weirdo here. He probably didn’t feel mega comfortable with your presence but he did what he had to do

[TulipCat]

HopeMumsnet, please let it run, it is comedy gold!

[Gooseysgirl]

Sorry but WTF were you doing in the mens changing room??? This is a ridiculous post. YABtotallyU

[Stupiddriver1]

OP, how would you feel if a bloke was sat in the women’s changing rooms watching you and other women get changed?

[Whatsforu]

This made me spit out my coffee. I was dreading the day ahead but now I will be thinking of that mans dangly bits and hairy arse!!! Seriously op you are lucky you didn't get brandished a perv languishing in the mens!!! Imagine if this was the other way around jeez!!

[Moondancer73]

So you are a woman, going into the male changing room and you are moaning about seeing a bare, male, arse?🙄🤦‍♀️
Give your head a giant wobble - and stay in the women's changing next time!!

[CosmoK]

You're a woman in the men's changing room and you're complaining that you saw a naked man.
You are completely in the wrong.



Can you imagine if a man decided to just go and wait in the women's changing room?? Bloody hell the world has gone mad.

[Glitterb]

Tbh is it the worst thing in the world? Really? Probably a tad rude to comment on his appearance if I’m honest.
In my gym women often walk around in the buff around other peoples children who are getting ready for swimming lessons...personally I would get changed in a cubicle but I guess that’s there choice?

[rwalker]

HILAROUS can't believe you sit in a MEN's changing room and then complain when MEN get changed in there.
he'd turned his back so obviously not flashing his cock if I was him I would report you.
Can you imagine if it was the other way round a man went and sat in the women changing room he'd probably be arrested .

[Newbie1981]

Yeah, don't look that way is the general unspoken rule! I've seen millions of fannies but not really seen them because I don't look, if you see what I mean. He's no sticking it in your kids face so chill out

[PineappleDanish]

The most surprising thing about this thread is that the poster has managed to get to adulthood and be so totally unaware and oblivious to her attitudes being so nuts.

I used to take the kids swimming in a school pool, there were two teeny tiny changing rooms and a narrow corridor. So if it was raining I'd sit in the car, if dry I'd walk around the school playground for 30 minutes until it was time to go back. Why would it even cross your mind that it would be OK to sit in the MALE changing room, without your toddler??

Nowt so queer as folk.

[MrsFoxPlus4Again]

To be far if I was in that situation I’d rather see the back of him than the front, imagine you caught his glance whiles willy watching

[KnightandDay]

I woke up to this gem🤣 I really can't understand why you thought you being in men's changing room was ok!
I don't for a minute believe you thought you should go into the changing room of the child's sex, was every other woman in the women's changing room with their daughters?? The packed to the rafters one??? Be honest, you just thought you were better than everyone else and shouldn't have to mix with the Great Unwashed.
If a man sat in the women's changing room looking at their "hairy bums", I'm telling you that all hell would break loose - even if they were there with their daughter!
