Ask any parent, and they’ll tell you how challenging it is to change a child’s diaper in public. Unfortunately, public restrooms, especially men’s restrooms, are not always equipped with the necessary facilities. This often leaves parents with no choice but to get creative in finding a suitable spot to change their child. However, there is a line between creativity and basic human decency. In this case, one Redditor found himself compelled to address a couple who had committed a major blunder by changing their baby’s diaper at a restaurant.
A 24-year-old man took to the popular “Am I an a******” subreddit to express his concern about the couple’s actions. He was not alone in his disbelief. The incident occurred in a modest restaurant, “above an Applebee’s, but not a fancy restaurant,” while he was dining with his girlfriend. To his dismay, he witnessed the couple changing their baby’s diaper right there at the table. What made matters worse was that they left the dirty diaper at the end of their table, right beside the Redditor’s table, for a good 15 minutes.
Understandably, he found this act disgusting and even thought he could smell the diaper in the air. When their food arrived, he politely asked the couple to dispose of the diaper properly. This led to a conversation between the two tables, but unfortunately, it didn’t achieve any resolution. The man at the other table responded defensively, telling the Redditor to mind his own business.
The Redditor shared that while his girlfriend didn’t blame him for addressing the issue, she believed it might have been best to leave it alone. What do you think? Would you have spoken up if someone changed their baby’s diaper at the table next to you? Share your thoughts with us in the Facebook comments.
