Even his dog finds this embarrassing and wants to get him out of there.
I just realized the bathrooms in my house are gender neutral.
If this continues, we’ll end up with “No Public Restrooms” instead.
Did this…gentleman think the bathroom was strictly for gender neutral people as opposed to a bathroom that is neutral to the gender of its occupant? Of course, even if that’s what he thought, his response should be “oh, that’s nice” instead of throwing a tantrum, but just interested in the depth of stupidity and trigger-happiness going on here.
I find it convenient that I can use which ever room isn’t occupied but what do I know?
“Sir, I have to say I agree with the court-appointed psychologist. It truly doesn’t matter.”
They shoulda handed him a cat box and a bag of kitty litter.
With that tshirt comes the usual litany of hate.
I’m assuming that’s a single occupant bathroom? I don’t know that I’ve ever had to go to the bathroom in a Petco before, so I’m not sure. But Petco isn’t generally the kind of store where people will spend over an hour in there, so there’s not usually a need for a large public restroom that can accommodate multiple people. If so, it’s nothing new for these bathrooms to be gender neutral.
The only problem with gender-neutral or unisex bathrooms is that some men do not lift the ring before peeing. Then you’re in a hurry you might not notice.
The man is clearly in a mood. Why even talk to him.
Imagine being so fragile that something like that gets you so upset that you revert to the mentality of a seven year old and throw a temper tantrum hissy fit, in public. America has been infantilized by Trumpism. Because Donald thinks he can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants to, now his cult members think that they can do the same.
I don’t remember what clause of the Constitution guaranteed the right to gendered bathrooms.
The pissed off portion according to his MAGA hate shirt.
They’re retail service workers. The corporation gives them no choice but to engage arseholes politely if they want to keep their jobs. I’m sure the situation got 1000x worse since the rise of MAGA.
Tell him that whatever he was going to purchase was the wrong gender for his dog.
Once again proving that retail workers are better trained to de-escalate than cops.
Clearly there is grooming going on there! There’s even a huge sign saying so!
