White man, I doubt you and your husband would not have made an issue of it. Something tells me he was NOT.

I btw have a 46 year old friend who needs an adult diaper and no he can not find the trash can himself.

Passive agressive or not, I think that's a civilized way of handling the situation.

reminds me of the asshole who confronted me in front of my family after my dog had diahrrea (sp??) out on some public space. there was no possible way to pick up the dog poo, as it was in 100% liquid form and had already dissolved into nature. Guy was right in my face, unbelievable. He is very very lucky that I didn't kick his ass.

It had one of those giant play areas for kids--you know where there are a lot of nets to climb and long slides and such. There was a long wall and many of the parents were sitting on the wall, watching the kids play. So I was sitting there and my Dh comes up and talks to me for a minute while the kids were playing, and then he says "Ew, is that a used diaper?" I look to my left and about 3 feet from me, on the wall is a used folded up diaper. No one is really near it but a stroller is parked in front of it.

So maybe 5 minutes later a man comes up and is with the stroller parked in front of the diaper. He just stands there a couple minutes so finally I asked him if it was his.

He told me yes, then said "Do you have a problem with that?"

Me: Yes, that is really gross

Him: Well, do you see a trash can around here?

Me: If you can't find a trash can, you can put in a plastic bag and put in back in your diaper bag or stroller until you find one.

Him: Why don't you just worry about things that actually relate to you?



So I found the nearest employee and told them about the problem. As I am doing this, he starts calling over to his wife and kids to try and get them out of there (still leaving the diaper on the wall). The employee came over and told the many to throw away the diaper (there was a trash can about 15 fee from where the diaper had been sitting on the wall. I have no doubt that he was planning on just leaving the diaper there, if the employee hadn't said something.

Anyway, Am I unreasonable for thinking it's gross to just leave a dirty diaper sitting out like that while you go off to play with your kids (remember, when we first saw the diaper, he wasn't there, he had just left it sitting there for at least several minutes while he was somewhere else)? Would you have said something to the guy?

Ask anyone who cleans port-o-pottys or septic tanks if they wear protective gear to the job. It is disgusting and cheers to you for having the balls to say something!
