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.

I run my own business. I choose my hours and work part time. You?

What's it got to do with anything?

Yes I work.

Can we go back to your very first post and would you be good enough to elaborate on it?

Really, that post is crucial to whatever you wrote next.

Because IMO most people would not wait in a long queue in a city they'd move on and find another toilet.

You're insisting this is a CITY.

Now I've travelled the length of the UK and know that some cities are small. (unless you're using 'city' loosely and it's really a small town.)

I know that if it's a CITY there will be lots of other options within 2 minutes of the 'bathroom' sign.

I've also never, ever seen a toilet sign for a shop in a shopping centre that was meant only for paying customers.

No.

You've asked twice now.

No. As I can tell from your post that you're asking , to get another insult at me.

I've been insulted, abused and bullied enough on this thread

I received messages from posters last night , asking me if it was OK.

They were shocked and disgusted at the bullying that I received on here.

The fact you refuse to engage in simple questions says everything.
If you were honest/ truthful and just more friendly, people would not be posting as they are.

I think we can all make our own judgements on this.

Bye. Have a good day.

I have the right to say no. You can't force anyone to do anything

Learn about consent.

No one has to do anything because you ask them to

Omg OP

You're not even going to answer reasonable questions now without claiming bullying?

WongKarWhy · 21/01/2025 10:00

@Applecharm25 I'd still like to know if you retract calling me a liar now the posts have been produced proving I was telling the truth? You only seem to reply to the posts that suit you.

It's a well known tactic, Smear everyone as a bully, and for the more casual reader it will stick and OP will look more reasonable than they are.

Do you really think that other people aren't allowed to say no.

Em do you understand consent?

I don't think anyone could look at OP as reasonable at this point

You've jumped the shark now. Consent indeed.

I think if you're going to make a post talking about a specific topic and then decide to stop replying to reasonable questions about said topic then you're going to make yourself look rather silly

And throwing about "consent" is like you're trying to tick all the MN boxes

You are a bully. And you know it.

Several people on here and in my private messages have said that the bullying on this thread is absolutely disgusting.

I'm not the one that looks bad here.

You should sew my pms. They're all disgusted at the bullying on here.

Sure they have.

Okay, so you think I'm a bully, fine?

What about you calling me a liar when the posts have been produced to prove I was not lying? Any comment on that?

You also said you think calling people a liar is bullying. Does that make you a bully too?

Applecharm25 · 21/01/2025 10:04

It would be good for you to learn about consent.

Here you go.

People are allowed to say no

Don't bother asking a question if you're going to get abusive when asked for more information

You're the one who should be disgusted tbh

Seriously what do you get out of bullying.

Does it give you a specific thrill?

You're not going to get an apology for that. OP is conveniently ignoring anything which points out she was wrong

I'm not bullying you. I just want you to answer a simple question: You called me a liar, it was proven I was telling the truth. Do you retract that because if not, kind of makes you a bully by your own standards.

You'd know
I'm assuming this thread is giving you some cheap thrill, throwing around all the MN tick boxes

Next you'll find a way to bring transpeople in just to make 100% sure you've hit all the notes

Oh, I know, just want to make sure it's crystal clear and plain to see. She's had several opportunities now.

I wasn't wrong.

I'll ask you aswell.

What do you get out of bullying.? This early in the morning

Does it make you feel good?

I'm not bullying. I'm defending myself.

I'm asking you to explain yourself. You accused me of lying. Another poster produced the evidence I was not lying. You're refusing to retract. Why is that, I wonder.
