To be disappointed with how soft play handled this man

[Playcomment]

I reported an inappropriate sexual comment made by another parent at a soft play area yesterday.

I was climbing down from one of the raised areas with my DS and didn’t realise he was climbing up. I said a polite sorry and he replied not to worry and that if he knew his £10 entry included him getting an arse in his face he would have visited months ago. I challenged him and then reported to staff.

The staff approached me 10/15 minutes later to say they’d spoken to him and he had admitted saying that but was ‘obviously joking’ and he relayed his apologies, so they considered the matter sorted.

Personally, I think he should have been asked to leave. He made me feel extremely uncomfortable and could have gone on to say similar to other parents present.

I would have found that funny!! 😂😂

Jesus woman, calm down. He’s not after you.
Can’t say anything these days without someone getting offended and it’s usually a certain type who feels annoyed by any innuendo. Probably not used to it or lacking social skills and wits to have a bit of banter 😌

I doubt very much my other half would have said it because he’s a decent bloke that doesn’t harass women.
If he had said it though I’d hold a very different view of him and he’d definitely know my view very clearly.

I would take it as a compliment to be honest.

He could have pulled a disgusted face, but instead he basically said it was worth the entry fee. Sounds like a satisfied customer to me.

The guy got an arse in his face and made a joke about it. He clearly enjoyed what he got.

Next time, try looking around before climbing down on someone's head so you won't get offended by the comments.

He was probably relieved to have escaped with his life rather than being suffocated by an enormous, inflatable arse

You need to lighten up a bit!!! Talk about an over reaction!!!!

Maybe check your grammar and punctuation before criticising others.

I think we've all said something stupid, inappropriate or ill timed. He apologised, no need to humiliate him and spoil his kids day.

Oh no you didn’t. Thats very unkind and unnecessary.

Soz

Lighten up OP. It's not as if he asked you for a handjob in the coloured balls.

It was hardly a face sitting comment op. You literally did put your arse in his face. Lighten up a touch.

He was an inappropriate twat.
I think the staff handled it at the correct level.

The poster is correct - read the post she’s quoting again. Rude, but correct.

But her own spelling and punctuation was wrong too (she did edit it later)

Wow! If he’d said it to your husband would you taken it for the joke it actually was?

They handled it, you’re being ridiculous

Wouldn’t have been in the least bit bothered if my husband said that ! Because he’s not a pervert or a twit, just a nice bloke who responded in an easygoing manner to a daft and somewhat embarrassing situation. Much like the guy at the soft play.

WTAF. You really need some help if this is how you are going through life. You know nothing about this man yet you have described him as mediocre, porn sick, a loser, a woman hater. He is just a man and a random woman put her arse in his face and he made a lighthearted comment. Jeez.

I think it good that he was challenged and made aware his behaviour caused offence. I think that he admitted it and apologised was all that was required.
If he hadnt i think he should have been asked to leave.

I don’t think it was sexual/pervy, think it was jokey and he probably felt awkward so was making a joke to lessen that feeling perhaps.

Also think it’s quite funny.

I'm sure some people would have complained about her if they'd been the man in this situation. Yes, even if she apologised. And the poor kids, possibly getting thrown out. It's nice a dad is taking his child-my dad used to be worried about being made to feel uncomfortable being in a "mum's place", but he was very pro men being involved with their chlren, and didn't think only mums should be involved in childcare. A lot of people do seem to think it's women's work, and men shouldn't work in nurseries/be involved in childcare because it's up to the mum.

I didn't mean you specifically. I mean anyone who thinks he should have been thrown out needs to grow up.

Oh you’re back?

So is it a bit like saying a joke to a 16 year old or a grown woman? One’s appropriate and the other isn’t?

Hopefully now you understand?

Do you find that people around you tend to sigh a lot?

Jeez, it was a joke, it wasn't personal to OP.
