Dude. I was at an MLB baseball game about a year ago. It was the 6th inning. I walked into the bathroom while play is still going on. I specifically picked that time because it was the other team at bat, and not their best hitters. My logic was "nobody will be in the bathroom, but nothing will happen in the game either! I'm so smart for going to pee now!"

I walk into the bathroom. First thing I see is a row of about 20 urinals, and deadset in the middle is a 5 year old boy with his pants around his ankles. Bare ass on display. No parent in sight.

I walked in, saw that, walked right back out. Like Aberaham Simpson when he walked into the strip club and saw Bart.

I was like noooooooope. I am NOT going to be in that room when the dad comes in. Even if I'm 10 urinals away. I can wait to pee in the 7th inning, and totally abandon my amazing pee stratagy.

Last thing I need is a protective parent walking in, and asking why I'm in the room with a bare assed 5 year old. Even if nothing happened. I'll just wait an inning.

Your country is bizarre ๐Ÿ˜… in europe: who the hell cares? Everyone pees.

No, it's the same way here. People invent these imaginary fears. Same with OC about children in general. Nobody gives a shit or is looking at dads.

Like sure, maybe you hit the jackpot and find the crazy but the vast majority of parents so not give a shit in the states.

The consequences in the US are so severe it's not worth the risk. Just an accusation can ruin someone's life.

I would ask where the dad is but if its like butters dad hes likely losing a wrestling match somewhere.
