Man, some of you people would lose your shid in Europe. I recently got back from Spain and there were several establishments that had unisex bathrooms but with private floor to ceiling stalls, though they shared the open washing area with sinks. Nobody seems to have a problem with it there, strangely enough.
When I landed in Amsterdam this spring, after I got through customs I had to take a deuce and in the MENS bathroom, there were the stalls you are referring to and a cleaning lady going into every stall after the guys were done blowing it up. What a job.
But it was a bit of a ..oh theres a woman in here culture moment for my fragile male brain.

We normally are on the same side of things but in 52 years, I don't recall ever seeing another man's junk.
I don't have much experience using the men's restroom so I'm probably wrong, but I do know you're not peeing in stalls. My only men's bathroom use goes back to my late teens early 20s in bars when the line to the women's room was too long and I couldn't wait! Those were single stall restrooms though.

standard operating procedure is to stand at the urinal with the front of you pants pulled below the junk to allow peeing. Now if I recall from HROT, a point of controversy in the standard operating procedure is whether guys pull their wang through the slot/hole in front of the underwear, or pull underwear below the wang, along with the front of pants. I think the pee through the slot guys are weirdos.

Honestly, it really depends on the bathroom design. Some urinals are behind a wall, some have dividers, some have little stalls of their own, and some are wide open to the world.

I am pretty sure the cleaning lady at work saw my junk recently because I was peeing in our wide open to the world urinals and she stepped in to see if the bathroom was empty and the door opens right in a particular way that you have a clear line of sight all the way down the urinal row.
Oh well, I am not ashamed of what the Good Lord gave me.

Couple of times in my many years I've stepped into the men's room to see an older fella standing at the urinal with his pants and drawers around his ankles. Pivot and exit.

I had the same thought but it seems to pick up the recording after the altercation began, so I am guessing he started recording after it became apparent the dude was not going to let it go.
Must be a generational thing. I wouldn’t even consider that (to turn on video when somebody gets upset).

Did you see these open air urinals when you were there? I snapped this photo because I'd never seen anything like it but I used them myself once or twice haha

I get doing it nowadays, especially when the cops are getting called - reduce the possibility of he said/he said BS. NTM, I am not sure if the dad is 100% Caucasian, and I have no problem with POC videoing confrontations with old white asshats.

Hell, I don't like going in the men's restroom. We're f'n pigs pissing on everything. Nothing worse than standing in a puddle of piss at the urinal. I wouldn't put a little girl on a toilet seat in a men's restroom under any circumstances.

I've had dreams nightmares about walking into public restrooms / gas station bathrooms and then realizing I'm barefoot.


This has nothing to do with the topic of this thread, I worked in the warehouse at a K's Merchandise in CR back in high school. Part of the job was cleaning the men's and women's restrooms every night that I closed. I can easily say without a doubt, that the women's restroom was always MUCH worse than the men's restroom. It never failed. I've heard similar from folks that have worked in the bar/restaurant biz too/csb


The torn paper was always worse in the women's restroom, usually other paper products, but the piss was always worse in the mens....

Since there was no one in the bathroom I don't see the problem. I imagine if a woman came in and saw him he would explain that his daughters are going to the bathroom and he will be out shortly.

Guy that called the police and assaulted him seems to be wound up pretty tight.


Probably been looking for the "man in the woman's bathroom" scenario he has been programed to watch for. Sometimes you just work with the tools you have.

funny story about that. we were road tripping with my future FIL when we were engaged. Probably 21. My wife asked me isn't it weird when we stop at public rest areas. I said not really, we try not to stand by one another. She then asked isn't it weird though to see his *** since the underwear and pants are around our ankles when peeing. I had fun answering that one.

THIS ⬆️ There has been so much culture war rage-bait about men in women's restrooms that he can no longer distinguish that this was an innocent incident that he should probably ignore and go on about his day. For me, the worst part was his daughters crying because of the perceived threat they felt. It hurt to see that, not gonna lie.

Polite young man with two young daughters traveling from Florida to Oklahoma, stops at a QT to let his daughters use the bathroom and takes them into the empty women's room because he doesn't want to take them into men's room with open urinals. Crazed a.sshole confronts him and calls the cops. Was he wrong for taking his daughters into the women's room? FYI, the QT employee had his back.

So dumb. Hot take: it is worse to punch someone than for a person to have their privacy invaded while eliminating waste.

Appears so.

It also shows the dad is not such a good guy like some think. Instead of just getting in and out with the kids, he spent too much time at the sink when you factor in there was before video time and the time to pull out the phone and set it up to video.

He seems to have been looking for a confrontation, especially since he posted a follow up video.

As for the guy calling police, completely ridiculous. Wasting their time should be a chargeable offense.

That dude was quiet, calm and barely had a personality and you think he was looking for trouble?

Lame.

The dad washed his hands and then helped each wash theirs. Maybe he had to wipe one of the girls butts and wanted to make sure his hands were fully clean before picking up one of the girls.

Not hurrying himself and his daughters doesn't mean he was seeking confrontation.
Unless you are all-knowing and know more about it than the rest of us. If so, please use your powers for good on the future.

Trouble doesn’t have to mean looking for a physical fight. In the restroom, he was all prepared to make a video with an idiot that would get lots of views.

After leaving the restroom (at 1:36 of the video), he chose to not walk down the closer aisle that was open, but instead walk down the next aisle over where the other guy can clearly be seen facing away from him.

He made sure that phone set up and recording before he started washing efforts. Not a very sanitary practice with the phone.

Setting up a phone to record and then go out into the store while still recording and to walk to where the other guy was. See above about which aisle he chose.

I know the video shows this guy being more concerned with his recording than he is paying attention to the safety of his daughters when walking through the “store” section.

Counter here, as a dad of 2 young girls:

- My primary concern is for my girls to feel safe and be where they belong, not where I feel comfortable. They should go to the Women's restroom especially once they are out of diapers.

- The dude told the (woman) manager he was taking his girls in there and to watch the door.

- The hotshoe couple clearly were en guarde/ on the lookout for something like this happening and followed him into the bathroom

- (it's giving @fatpiggy saying a trans women followed his wife into a women's bathroom).

- Dude DIDN'T have his phone set up. His daughters did their business, and then the hotshoe couple busted in. They were all washing their hands and the dad "rightfully" thought it was ridiculous and they were clearly being insane, so he set his phone up to record. I'd say that's fairly normal for 2026, considering the rhetoric around this topic.

- The hostshoe couple were clearly conditioned to be outraged and on the lookout to be outraged, and chose their outrage over the children's well being. The kids were crying and scared, and I'm sure they justified it as "the dad is traumatizing them for bringing his children into the women's bathroom when he's a man" but any rational person of their age would see the children's response and if they actually cared about the children's well being, they would have read the room.

- The hotshoe couple had other motives, and that's disgusting to me.

This would never have been an issue before 2020 or so- you can say it's because the left normalized the trans community but I think it's because maga has villainized a tiny community and created an outrage in the majority community.

Just another perspective

I see you don't subscribe to occam's razor. That's a lot of assumptions viewed through an incredibly narrow lens.

Interesting, because you cry like a little girl on here daily
