Why the hostility!

Went to a supermarket today and DC did a timely poop in the trolley. No big deal, went to change him. There was a baby change, regular loos and two accessible toilets. I look on the lock on the baby change, it was green, so I open the door to awkwardly see a lady pull up from the toilet seat, her (husband, maybe carer) sat on the seats in the cubicle, both flustered. I awkwardly said ‘oh sorry’ and closed the door. Then I hear them lock the door. No big deal (to me, at least). Perhaps the accessible toilets were taken at the time, or they couldn’t flag a staff member for the radar key, I don’t mind them using the baby change, happy to wait.

They both come out some time later, the male pushes the door wide open for me and with a sarky voice says ‘oh, guess you really need to go in there then’. The woman looking at me angrily.

Why the hostility! I needed the baby change, I opened the baby change, you didn’t lock it!

Did you say that to them?

Maybe they were just embarrassed? It’d just one comment, I was expecting him to have had a go at you by the thread title. I wouldn’t give it another thought

Maybe it's age but I just don't put up with that nonsense in silence anymore.

No, I think I was a bit like huh.

I would have asked them why they were using the baby change room and not either of the accessible toilets.

They were either taken at the time or they couldn’t be bothered to ask for a key.

I get the embarrassment @ToKittyornottoKitty but isn’t it better just not to say anything and leave, as opposed to making a dig 😂
