Ask any parent and they’ll tell you how challenging it can be to change a baby’s diaper in public. Unfortunately, public restrooms, especially men’s, are often lacking in proper diaper-changing facilities. This forces parents to get creative and find alternative solutions. However, there is a fine line between creativity and human decency. In a recent incident, one Reddit user found themselves questioning the actions of a couple who changed their baby’s diaper at a restaurant table. And honestly, we can’t help but feel the same way.
The 24-year-old male, dining at a non-fancy restaurant with his girlfriend, was taken aback when he witnessed the couple changing their baby’s diaper at the table. To make matters worse, they left the soiled diaper sitting there for a good 15 minutes. The Reddit user found this behavior disgusting and even thought he could smell the diaper. So, when their food arrived, he politely asked the couple to dispose of it.
A conversation between the two tables ensued, but it quickly reached a dead end. The man at the other table questioned why it was necessary to say something, to which the Reddit user responded that eating in close proximity to human waste was unappetizing, especially when there were changing stations and trash cans provided in the bathroom. Unfortunately, the response he received was less than pleasant as the other man told him to mind his own business.
While the Reddit user’s girlfriend didn’t think he was wrong for speaking up, she believed it would have been better to let it go. What do you think? Would you have done the same? How would you react if someone changed their baby’s diaper at the table next to you? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
