To be annoyed at the lack of bathrooms

855 replies

Applecharm25 · 20/01/2025 13:39

I have my period. I can feel that i need to change my tampon.

I'm out walking round my city. There are no public bathrooms anywhere near me.

I see a sign for a bathroom in a small shopping centre near me. I walk in. The bathroom is actually in a shop. I'm told that the bathroom is only available for paying customers.

So now I have to get in a long queue and wait further and buy something while I really need to change my tampon.

Surely there should be better toilet services available.

Are you still going?

Such utter lies!! How can you sit there and lie.

Show me one post where I "accused women of not understanding their biology"

You totally made that up.

Ok then, two maybe three at the most! If we're going to be pedantic over it!
But I am 100% in agreement with @WongKarWhy

And I haven't bullied you at all. Would you care to point out exactly where I have? I'll wait...

FallOfTheHouseOfUtterlyButterly · 21/01/2025 09:35

Well this has taken quite a turn 🤣🤣

OP - swearing, calling posters names because they disagree and constantly going on about "reporting them" isn't helping your case

It's time to step away

There are several where you quite snarkily have said to women about biology like they don't know their womb and bladder are 2 different things (almost the direct quote in fact)

I shouldn't have engaged really, but I hate to see this kind of thing!

But, y'know we're all just mean bullies.

It's not lies, you have numerous times said that to women who've said that THEY and many people they know do need to pee when they change a tampon. You know you have. You don't seem to have great reading comprehension or a great memory for your own actions it seems.

Your attitude throughout has been atrocious which is why so many people have pushed back.

Can everyone else please report the bullies too.

This poster should not be on this thread. Disgusting. Disgusting. She gets a kick about abusing people

Oh no I can see why you engaged

Because posters like this wind me up too

OP: AIBU?
Most people: yes. You're ignoring a lot of things
OP: well you're all wrong because 1 person in these 20 have agreed with me. And you're all stupid and don't understand anyway
PP: that's quite rude and you're being very aggressive
OP: bullying! You're all bullying me!

This makes zero sense.

A shop would not advertise a 'bathroom' (unless it was selling bathroom fittings)
It would say WC, Toilets, or even Ladies and Gents.

They definitely would not have a sign saying 'bathroom' if it was only for customers in the shop.

Are you sure you didn't misunderstand OP? That's the only explanation that is credible.

No matter what else you've said since, the first few lines of your very post raise eyebrows, should we say? 😃

Why are you here. Why don't you just go, if you hate this thread so much.

You're obsessed with it!

Go and look at another thread.

You totally made that up.

As we know, our womb and our bladder are two different things.

I think you're a man, as every woman knows that periods and urine are two completely separate things.

Bladder and womb are not connected to each other in any way shape or form.

But she still can need to change her tampon and not need to wee at all.
Seriously, take a biology lesson.

You don't need to go for a wee when you change a tampon. They are different things.
They are not connected.
Tampons are designed that you can wee when tampons are inserted.
Do you really not know this?

That's 5 separate posts from you. I'm sure there are more. I got bored copy and pasting. All of them directly saying, or implying that posters who have said in their experience most women either choose to or need to use the toilet at the same time as changing a tampon are ignorant of biology.

No I asked them to report bullies.

Bullying is not allowed on here.

Mumsnet have already said on this thread that if anyone troll hunts me again, they will be suspended.

Her disgusting bullying behaviour is not allowed.

You are literally telling everyone to gang up against one poster. Which also isn't allowed.

It appears it's allowed when you're the one doing it.

Just repeating that people are bullying you over and over doesn't make it true. If I have to take one for the team so be it.

That's not what mumsnet said on this thread.

I think that their official line is more correct, don't you.

They have told people to stop troll hunting me, or they may get suspended.

Care to comment on this @Applecharm25 ? You said I was lying. Obviously I was not. You said calling people a liar was bullying. Are you a bully?

Troll hunting, yes, not bullying
They've not mentioned bullying

Can you go back to your first post and explain?

As I pointed out, no shop would advertise a 'bathroom' in a shopping centre unless they allowed public use of it. It makes no sense.

Where is the long queue you found?
You've never explained that?
What kind of shop was it that signposted to a 'bathroom' but made people buy something first? (This is in a city by the way where there must be zillions of other options.)

You sound quite petulant- stamping your foot and getting cross because you want to change your tampon NOW and the world isn't revolving around that.

As an adult woman, used to dealing with periods for decades (we assume) this should not be a major issue.

If, on the other hand, this was about the overall lack of public toilets that are an issue for people with serious bowel or bladder conditions, yes, fully support that.
