| /u/ohhyouknow Men's restrooms in the US have non private urinals. Anyone who walks into a men's restroom in the US may see a man's penis. Women's restrooms are exclusively individual stalls with toilets. If a little girl walks into a men's restroom with their dad there is a chance of her and dad being exposed to a strangers penis. If a little boy walks into a women's restroom with their mom there is almost no chance him and mom will be exposed to random genitalia. Edit: to the comment doin a whatabout dads with little boys, should they use the women's restroom? All I gotta say is that I'm not the United States bathroom architect. If it were up to me all bathrooms regardless of gender would offer the bare minimum privacy for everyone involved with individual stalls. As a mom who brought her boy into women's restrooms, I actually have zero issue with seeing men bringing their little boys into women's restrooms because of the better privacy conditions in women's restrooms. Maybe all bathrooms should be gender neutral and offer stalls, that's a really good point whatabouter. |
| /u/rodimus147 Yes officer he is washing his hands....... menacingly. |
| /u/watupmack He took his two little girls to the bathroom and now they are washing their hands!! |
| /u/Meshugugget Sooo, what happens when Mr. Freakout's wife needs help using the restroom? She's disabled and, I presume, may need assistance one day. Does he help? What restroom do they use? Does he call the police on himself? I have so many questions!! |
| /u/ZoLoftFTW Oh he's definitely a "Rules for thee, but not for mee." fella. |
| /u/campingcritters You can tell she was in a really big hurry to use the restroom by the way no one took her to the restroom when it was free. |

| /u/ChronicZombie86 https://giphy.com/gifs/7tKEfRjktJ2MM |
| /u/imagineanudeflashmob "How do I know for sure, officer?... Well, that's because I'm here too, standing in the doorway watching the girls' bathroom" |
| /u/Bubsy7979 Weee woo, weeee woo... WEEE WOO, WEEE WOO!!! |
| /u/Joecascio2000 Aww, I love how the worker saw her moment to close the door in him. She seems so nice. |
| /u/tippytapslap She even said im so sorry lmao she seems like a good egg. |
| /u/brianMMMMM She reminds me of my mom. I love you mom. |
| /u/badgerj Mee too! Miss you mom! And I have two little girls too! I took them sometimes into the men's, sometimes to the women's. I don't know what the big deal is. We're just there at this age to teach proper bathroom etiquette and cleanliness. I have no fucking idea what an issue is with a man bringing his daughters into a stall on the men's side vs the women's side. Sometimes the men's side doesn't even have a fucking change table! Not that these ones need it, but ever think about that fuck!?? And if you think AWESOME Dad! Thanks! You rock by the way. Your girls are awesome. (Happy Father's Day)! If you think this guyhad two lovely girls, who now think that this is weird, to somehow infiltrate a female washroom.... Is playing some executive long-game to stare at women in a washroom....?? !!! Boy the mental gymnastics that I would have to do to get to your side of the fence, your conclusion would solve the twin prime conjecture in one minutes per IQ point your IQ. And that's disingenuous not to your IQ but the actual amount of work required to get there. Did anyone just teach you to "stop being an asshole"? Or did you skip that class? |
| /u/Mentirosa Yeah, she was great. I appreciated her acting as a barrier and apologizing to the father even though it wasn't her fault. |
| /u/iamsobluesbrothers So did the police come? What happened afterward? |
| /u/Fifteen_inches The police probably didn't come because the business owner is allowing him to use the restroom. Police hardly even come for real crimes. |
| /u/GobiBall For context, it's a Quick Trip bathroom. A gas station convenience store. |
| /u/nailsinthecityyx That's the part that killed me. It's not like he was in a high-traffic ladies room. It was a Quick Trip Gotta love a male Karen |
| /u/Stepane7399 Even if it was grand central station I'd support this. This little girl has to go potty and should not have to see a ton of man peens when headed to a stall and who the heck knows what she would come across in a men's room stall. Any woman should understand this and be cool with it. |
| /u/TwoBionicknees "we can't let trans men into bathrooms because men are predators... now please take your little girls into the predators room." these people are both assholes and fucking stupid and the actual men who harass people, are the guys like the guy on the phone. |
| /u/redalert825 Fuck this guy and any guys or women that think this way. I did this too and I used to get hella nervous bout it. Then I said fuck that, I don't trust creepy ass dudes. Bless this dad for keeping his composure. I'd have a hard time doing that, even w my daughter around when encountering such ignorance and snowflake bs. https://giphy.com/gifs/6AiLWJpuzyBlMR22ox |
| /u/Diazepampoovey0229 I mean, no actual crime was committed here, either. |
| /u/krazykarlsig I say this in the most dreadful kind of way but it depends on which state. |
| /u/LogensTenthFinger If the police came then the dude who called them could hope for the best possible outcome of them not arresting him for disorderly and false police report. |
| /u/tanhan27 It depends when you are a hammer, every problem is a nail. The police are used to acting on behalf of the accuser |
| /u/Mentirosa No confirmation yet. He posted this video seven hours ago and no updates since |
| /u/slothstevenson Imagine actually showing up for this call lol I really hope they told this guy in so many words to go about his day and fuck off |
| /u/Traditional-Belle Maybe the dad checked the bathrooms and took his girls in the cleanest one |
| /u/ILuvSupertramp Or the one that men don't freely enter |
| /u/Traditional-Belle Right, it's surprising that anyone is upset at this |
| /u/alwaysiamdead I'm a woman and have been in the bathroom when a dad came in to change his baby and let his older girl has the toilet. He was so apologetic, but no one in the washroom cared. I never thought this would bother anyone that much. |
| /u/iamsobluesbrothers From the context at the end of the video with the two women I'm assuming one of them went to use the bathroom and she probably told dopey dumb fuck that there was a man in the women's bathroom and he decided to create a whole stink about it. |
| /u/alwaysiamdead Yep the one made a rude comment too. |
| /u/MadMageMC I don't think it ever would have it it weren't for Trump and all the anti-trans bullshit he and his sycophants love to stir up. |
| /u/Thoughtful-Boner69 i was so confused at first i thought it was a) not an individual washroom at first and b) that was his wife and the father busted in on her or something this is just a psycho asshole being a dick |
| /u/bigmike2k3 She looked like she was almost in tears at how the entitled dipshit was scaring the girls... |
| /u/gotchanose I thought she was the man's wife and she was scowling at the father in disgust / anger. How I was wrong and happy too see how she acted |
| /u/Temporary_Peanut_586 Ditto; I had a complete misread on her role at the start |
| /u/SharkBait661 Well the guy is saying something about his wife not being able to use the restroom so i too thought that was the wife. |
| /u/thrillho613 The scowl she gives him as he leaves the bathroom is great |
| /u/DistractingDiversion https://preview.redd.it/9ycoczbcak7h1.jpeg?width=348&for mat=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e6b4dd1cb26662c699cf7173c6dfb22c10 8afc1 |
| /u/dwightsarmy Perfect. I hope this woman sees this. We all applaud her championish. She deserves all the clout. |
| /u/Junior_Moose_9655 She is of that special species of service worker that will call you "sugar" or "hawney" and make at least 3.2 hours worth of bullshit melt off of you. |
| /u/Impossible_Leg_2787 She looked like she was bout to cry poor lady. Shes practiced at it, can you imagine how many of these assholes she has to deal with on a daily basis? |
| /u/MobileAssociation126 She did, thank God! I wouldn't have let my two young daughters go into the restroom alone or with a stranger, nope, sorry. He did nothing wrong. What an entitled jerk! His elderly mother had to go to the bathroom, but he's sitting there still recording and not taking her to the bathroom now that they're out. Please! 🙄 |
| /u/SunnyOnSanibel This behavior also supports the girls and lets them know that their father isn't doing anything wrong. |
| /u/Cerrac123 I thought at first that she wasn't going to let them leave, so relieved that she was helpful and apologetic. |
| /u/TheZippoLab When I'm president, I think I'll start deporting MAGAs. |
| /u/nipslippinjizzsippin i thought that was his wife until then |
| /u/weekendgurl247 That poor girl is so scared and that asshole thinks he's "protecting kids" |
| /u/dinkleberries59 He knows exactly what he's doing |
| /u/Impossible_Leg_2787 Gotta let that repressed anger out on any potential target he can find. Long as they're smaller than them. |
| /u/Really_Clever He thinks hes a hero. |
| /u/PickButtkins ... but not because of his actions in this video. He believes he is the hero bc in his head he is the main character and the lead is always the hero. I have, unfortunately, known waaaay too many people like this in my lifetime. |
| /u/Evening-Matter-5245 He's going to tell that story to everyone and then they'll all know he's a huge asshole, if they don't already. |
| /u/metanoia29 Yup, he's being the main character in his egotistical mind |
| /u/GTAIVisbest I think it's almost a tad worse than this. I think he has a lot of repressed frustration and anger and taking care of his elderly mother is not good for his mental health, so he's deciding to bully this younger guy and he enjoys causing fear in other people, especially the guy's daughters, which I think this whole thing was an excuse for him to bully the very young defenseless girls |
| /u/TitanicTardigrade I mean maybe but that's a lot of context from nothing. Sometimes people are just assholes to be assholes. |
| /u/trackstaar He was doing it because his wife and mom needed to go to the bathroom and refused to share it with a man but he didn't think about the alternative which is the little girls being forced to use the bathroom with grown men. Men's bathrooms have open urinals and women's only have private bathroom stalls so I don't even see what the problem is |
| /u/superluminal The problem is the man is a dick. He's getting hard with the rushing blood of his own self-righteousness. |
| /u/chronicpenguins the whole family are dicks, including the women with him. This wouldnt be an issue if they patiently waited or god forbid use the bathroom stall while they wash their hands. Do they really think some guy is going to invade their privacy or sexually assault them with two little girls and a gas station full of people outside? |
| /u/JoinTheBattle Do they really think No, they don't. They saw a man in the women's restroom and there were no thoughts beyond their excitement over getting to act out their little MAGA fantasy. |
| /u/drunklollipop I also love how urgent it was for them to use the bathroom, yet once the guy is out, no one using it, the hate and the argument was the main drive, not their bladders |
| /u/Thoughtful-Boner69 he's a fuckin lunatic |
| /u/Diazepampoovey0229 No he doesn't. He doesn't care about their needs in the slightest. The woman and her mother you see when the guy and his kids leave were hitching about not being able to go in the bathroom (they obviously could), and old assclown decided this was his moment To be a knight in rusted aluminum. You could hear them trying to complain again when the employee went by, trying to escort the man and his girls outside safely. |
| /u/tastelikemexico And it didn't look like the 2 older women needed to use the restroom too bad either because when the man left the restroom they stayed out there bitching instead of rushing to the restroom lol |
| /u/Bowman_van_Oort I wonder who he voted for lmao |
| /u/FunkmasterFo Going to guess the man that bragged about barging into little girls dressing rooms |
| /u/_AskMyMom_ How high are the chances that the old bastards kids, don't talk to him? I'm gonna say, with certainty, it's 100% |
| /u/JimmyPellen Well...thats cos of those violent video games and devil rock n roll music. And the facegram |
| /u/The_Nice_Marmot He does not think that's what he's doing. He likes when little girls go in the men's room. Maybe so he can flash them. What a sicko. |
| /u/Mentirosa Technically that jerk was in the women's restroom too, and he scared the kids, made one cry for no reason. No decent, reasonable person would care about a parent helping their children in either restroom. |
| /u/CptAngelo also, as far as im concerned, using a bathroom is not a reason to call the police |
| /u/Mentirosa Never a good reason. It's so ridiculous. I'm tired of these people. |
| /u/cdvallee MAGA. They're MAGA. Don't be afraid to call them out. I see it all the time here in Texas. |
| /u/auxtime Maga is the republican party. These are republicans. Don't separate them, and don't let them forget. |
| /u/Mentirosa Definitely MAGA. They should all be called out. I'm in Texas too, and I am exhausted. |
| /u/Temporary_Peanut_586 Same DB calling the cops would probably use the women's room in an emergency and assert it's completely fine Bathroom politics are bizarre. In my area some bathrooms just advertise their facilitates on the doors (stalls and/or urinals)--which when you think about it is kinda practical. |
| /u/Educational_Zone1750 I think everyone, including the police saw right thru all his petty bullshit. |
| /u/Lynjamin08 As soon as that moron said there is a man in the women's restroom with his two little girls I bet the dispatcher checked out entirely. |
| /u/jasandliz They should've sent the cops to cite the caller |
| /u/Jaew96 I'm a guy, and back when I was about those girls' age my mom would take me into the women's bathroom if I ever needed to go. I wonder what this asshole would've had to say about that? |
| /u/alwaysiamdead Yup, my son went with me to the women's bathroom when he was that age. And I've had a dad bring his daughter into the women's bathroom along with his baby cause the men's didn't have a change table. It's pretty normal to have to do that when you have little kids |
| /u/Michigoose99 I was waiting in line to use a women's restroom when an older woman with her full-grown son (he clearly had severe mental disabilities) asked everyone waiting if we were okay with her escorting her son into the bathroom to help him. It broke my heart that she felt like she needed to ask our permission to do so but of course we all told her it was fine and also insisted that she and her son skip the line. People who want to be Bathroom Police frighten me. Mind your own business and count your blessings. |
| /u/cgray715 Do you remember the pearl clutching that happened in America when changing tables started being installed in men's rooms?!? You would have thought they were being castrated. |
| /u/Optimusphine When I had a baby in diapers, I'd use the women's room all the time when the men's room didn't have a changing table. Anytime I got flack for it, I'd just tell them to ask the owners to put a changing table in the men's room too. |
| /u/GothSpite Well and I am guessing dad didn't want his girls to have to deal with the men's restroom and risk possibly seeing a bunch of penises. Places like this almost always require a bathroom key, dude face is weird AF. |
| /u/Another_Russian_Spy Well they did end up seeing a giant dick. |
| /u/_AskMyMom_ Great time to have a civilized conversation with his kids. Explain to them that even though he's an adult, adults sometimes act like children. Life lesson for the kids in a positive way. We can cry, and yes those are our feelings, but what we don't do is act like that old man who is afraid to express himself. Just straight up make an example out of him. |
| /u/RangeBow8 As a girl dad my wife has told me to always take her to the women's restroom. It's a far better scenario for me to say I'm a man bringing in my daughter to have my daughter in a men's room with urinals and dongs out. |
| /u/irrelephantIVXX And, even though it was only "brushing his shirt" in the words of Billy Madison "That's assualt brother" |
| /u/busdrivermike Isn't the whiny man bitch also in the women's bathroom? |
| /u/DonTequilo He is and he's actually harassing people in there. |
| /u/ABCosmos Not just "People".. He literally went in there and terrified a little girl and made her cry.. this is a little girl who needed to use the bathroom. Just ordinary Republican things. |
| /u/brobrosidon good on the manager for stepping up. what a fucking weirdo. |
| /u/dad_jokesNbutt_stuff She should have trespassed him for harassing another patron. |
| /u/brobrosidon agreed, can't see how the rest of it shook out so we can't rule that out. I lean towards the opinion that most situations like this are more of conflict avoidance and de-escalation than a matter of right and wrong. to many nuts with access to firearms for me to want to get wordy with a moron who is obviously too stupid to reason with. just my two cents. |
| /u/Living_Pie205 I would assume it's a tough decision for a dad that has a daughter....either take her to the guys bathroom or the woman's bathroom....any parent would just clear the way and gave him some space and privacy. |
| /u/AndromedaFire I was a single dad with full custody years back and in many places the only baby changing area was inside the women's toilet so you'd have to ask staff to clear it out just so I could change a nappy. |
| /u/The0neKid Yep, and then when my daughter was old enough to go in use the restroom by herself but still too young for me to trust to be alone, there was more than a few times I had to ask random moms to help make sure she made it out safe because I didn't feel comfortable bringing her in the men's room and the public place was just too crowded to ask everyone to not use a bathroom |
| /u/bubblegumbombshell Last fall I had some random Target employee come up to me because I was a mom out shopping with her two preschoolers and asked if I thought it was appropriate for a dad to take his toddler daughter into the bathroom. Target guy seemed to think the man should've asked a strange woman to take the 3yo in for him. I told the guy that I don't know why he's asking me but that man could've taken his daughter into any of the three bathroom options so she could use the toilet and I wouldn't bat an eye. It's like dads are set up to fail at parenting in public. |
| /u/The0neKid Yea, but for an example I go to a lot of minor league sports games with my daughters, some nights with larger crowds I didn't feel comfortable bringing my daughter in the men's room, or asking the 50 women not to use the women's room so me as 1 guy can go in there without making anyone uncomfortable. This was a few years ago before family restrooms were commonly designated, so I felt the most comfortable option for everyone there was asking a random mom to help, worst that can happen is she says no and I ask another mom, in other situations the worst case is being berated for trying to be a dad like the guy in the video |
| /u/bubblegumbombshell Totally understandable and that makes sense for an older kid. Even these girls look like they might've been old enough to go in on their own, but that's totally the dad's call and I don't think he was in the wrong. According to Mr. Nosy Target Employee, the girl was about the age of my kids who were 2 & 4. I don't think a preschooler is old enough to be sent into a public bathroom solo. And the Target guy's attitude was on par with the jerk in this video, so I was kinda over the idea of having a nuanced discussion by that point. |
| /u/BYCjake It literally looks like that's what happened here seeing as there was a staff member in with them. He mentioned his mother (?) the lady in the walker/chair needed to use the toilet, so I'm guessing they just didn't want to wait and as soon as he realised a man was in there decided that was his excuse to try get his way. |
| /u/LogensTenthFinger That happened to me a few times, the women were always 100% supportive wherever I went, though |
| /u/MYSTICALLMERMAID As a woman I would not give a shit. Im not sending my kif alone into a bathroom or bringing her to the men's |
| /u/powderbubba I'm a woman and I agree wholeheartedly. This man is just trying to make sure his daughters stay safe and empty their bladders! You can tell from a mile away he isn't a creep and just wants to get in and get out and back on the road. This is so fucked up and I hope that entitled asshole barks up the wroooong tree very soon. |
| /u/williamjamesmurrayVI Yeah it's not a tough choice. Guys have their dicks out at urinals. He made the easy choice, don't expose your 6 year old to random old man dick |
| /u/OrneryError1 I've seen dad take little girls into the men's room and never cared. I also wouldn't care if a woman brought a little boy into the men's room. Being a parent is hard enough without other people making it harder for no reason. |
| /u/scttlvngd This. More likely a man will be a creep to those little girls than a woman have any issue with a father taking his daughters into the women's room. Exhibit A: the creep on the phone. |
| /u/IttsssTonyTiiiimme Yeah, I would take my daughter to the men's room. One time a guy made comment. He said her mother should take her to the woman's room. I said her mom ain't here, what are we going to do. He was saw it was a pickle. |
| /u/Express_Coyote_4000 He should have seen his way to keeping his mouth shut |
| /u/OrneryError1 "She would if she was still alive." https://giphy.com/gifs/96DeW8wUdpN96 |
| /u/moseisley99 When my daughters were under 5, I still always went to the men's rooms. It wasn't often but you have to do it sometimes when mom isn't around. At around 6 or so I trusted them to go by themselves to the womens and I would wait outside. I also would not call the cops on anyone. Weird situation. Just let them be. |
| /u/meatywood He likely made sure the coast was clear before entering with the children so nobody was harmed. |
| /u/inhumanfriday I have this exact problem with my daughter. She's too old and I don't feel comfortable taking her into the men's room anymore, and she's not confident enough to go to the women's on her own. I try to find a disabled/accessible toilet where I can but its not always possible, so I either stand close to the women's bathroom door while she runs in or she just has to hold. |
| /u/pdx74 You know what helps in situations like this? Gender neutral restrooms. I'm sure the guy calling the cops would agree, right? Oh, wait... |
