Kids in my Stall and I Want to Harm You

[LadyAndreca]

I'm another one who would yell, very loudly, if there was a kid in their stall. (I don't really scream. I yell.) In a bathroom with only 2-3 stalls...well, it'd take a while before everyone's ears would stop ringing, trust me.

[Zellie Crescent]

My first reaction to anything grabbing me would be for me to freak out and say: "What the fuck is that? What the hell is grabbing at me?!" while kicking, the kid's mom would be mad at me but I don't care. If she tries to yell at me I'd ask her if she'd like to get grabbed while trying to go to the bathroom.

Actually, while Security probably wouldn't do anything about the kids crawling into your stall, I would think snapping pictures of it with the cellphone camera they WOULD object to.

Especially if you were to, say, grab a supervisor and 'freak out' about the 'woman snapping pictures of people doing their business in the bathroom'.

Technically true, even if it isn't what Mom intended, and maybe being escorted out of the building by Security for being a perv might snap a little sense into her.

... Well, probably not, but I bet it'd be satisfying. And it'd spare anyone else having to deal with that joy.

Next time it happens just pee on the kid. You'd be surprised how often this is a good solution.

Not unless you want to be known as the next R. Kelly.

That's happened to me a few times at the mall in the stalls. Damn kids and their stupid parents.

I don't care that they are small and curious, they should be taught at an early age that you don't crawl and sneak into stalls and watch people go to the bathroom!

I actually don't have the kick urge or anything like that. I just shriek or say something like "Oh my God get your fucking kid out of my stall!"

Embarrassing the parents is usually the way to go. Being humiliated is usually enough to get the point across to people like that. An entire bathroom hearing that their kid is wandering around sneaking into stalls and watching people go to the bathroom should scare them into keeping better control over their kids.

Exactly. Being small and curious is okay, within reason. Curious shouldn't mean that parents ignore teaching their children propriety and respecting privacy. My oldest is only three but she already knows not to crawl on bathroom floors or into occupied stalls. It's not precious, it's an invasion of privacy.

Besides, public bathroom floors are nasty.

Ever since watching Zombie Land, my reaction to something crawling under my stall would be a lot more panicky, and flaily. It's lucky that I have no excuse to take a shovel, or other defensive weapons with me into bathroom stalls.

I need to stop watching zombie movies. They make me paranoid about too many things!

I find hissing and growling at people that annoy you tend to throw 'em off their guard

Restraint? :\ The inherent I Shall Not Hit A Child gene? ....wait, do I have one of those? Yes, I must have one.

...Yeah I am missing that one... ask anyone I know I have no "Maternal" Instincts... so my Don't hit the child gene is non-existent... so yeah... there is about a 90% chance I would have kicked the kid before I realized what was going on Not proud of it... but it is the truth.

[PepperElf]

odd relations topics - my friend B... his dad is his step-grandfather.
his mom had a fling with her stepfather, and then married him after the subsequent divorce



reaction ideas.

screaming - i like that one. it'll make the baby cry without hurting it and the the mom will take it away to comfort it.

tampon idea - o i like that. it's sick.

other sick ideas
along the lines of the "dirty old man" approach... "hey lady, I'm trying to *ahem* in here. this ain't no sex-ed show"
or just start moaning "o god... " etc.


only downside is that you might have to explain to security...
"hell i was just trying to take a dump. she and her kid were trying to crawl into my stall while i was pooping." or whatever business you had etc

Restraint? :\ The inherent I Shall Not Hit A Child gene? ....wait, do I have one of those? Yes, I must have one.

do those exsist??? hmm.. well i suppose one way to find out is have a little brat crawl into a stall with you. if you (as instinct would seem to dictate) seek to destroy the thing that has invaded your private space... then i suppose you must have a 'do not hit child' gene.

congrats lol

Thats as bad as when I was at goodwill.Trying on clothes and this dumbskull(yes thats my word)was letting her kids play right in front of the changing rooms.So the woman next to me comes out of her stall and smacks the one kids right in the head.And the mom made some rude comment about being careful and then I come out of my stall and smack the other kid right in the face.I mean really people come on your one kid gets hit and you do nothing and then your other kid get hit.

[Erin]

you mean the door smacked the kids right? Not you, yourself, smacked the kids?

I tripped over a kid who ran between my legs once at a Costco. Didnt even see the kid until after I fell down. Naturally I was a bit pissed and may have said a few words that are not normally printable. The parent's reactions were pretty bad. Their kid knocks me down (hurt my wrist when I fell too) and they were mad at me for saying a swear word in front of their precious little brat. Followed me out of the store, kvetching at me for swearing.

As I got in my car, I told them to STFU, and to control their f-ing little brat.

That felt good...especially since the kid was within earshot and got another earful of swear words.

I hate to say it, and sound like an evil child hater; but I would reflexively kick out. I've seen those movies where something grabs your ankle. O_o
