Legal question

[Benny Profane]

Oh, I'm going to get sprayed for this one.

I have belonged to the same gym for years. I'm one of their customers that they could care less about, because I use the place a lot, and never fall for extras, like a trainer or something. I'm in and out, along with many others at the same time, same place. So, this branch of the "athletic club" company (NYSC) has a nice lap pool that maybe four years ago became swim camp for kids. They figured out how to turn that pool into a cash cow by having swim lessons there for the lower Fairfield mommys and their little spoiled urchins. Hey, whatever, sometimes they get under your feet when they dash back and forth from pool to front door, but, some are cute, so, big whoop, once you get used to woking out in a near nursery at times. Now, every now and then there has been a very young child in the men's locker room with a parent, but, still, I find that a tad awkward, you know, because of the fact that one takes all of their clothes off in a locker room. But, i think somebody said something, because I have seen cryptic signs warning parents of small children to be careful. They have their own little locker room thing by the pool, so, they really shouldn't be in the men's room, anyway. Well, today, that other locker room was being worked on, it seems, because, when I entered the locker room, I look down, and a little girl was sitting right in the middle of the room having her hair dried by her father. He seemed to be Japanese, as so was she. My jaw drops, I do a 180, and start almost shouting at the manager in his office. I didn't use profanity, but, I probably looked like a madman, because I was really fucking pissed that they allowed a little maybe 4 year old girl use a room that older men get naked in. Think of the fucking raw meat a situation like that is to either a prosecutor or lawyer or both. If I or any other grown man takes his clothes off with that girl in the room, aren't we committing a very serious crime? I mean, one wrong move, one crazy parent accusing you of something, and you are in jail for the worst crime in the world. The lowest of the low.
Am I being a drama queen here? I feel like writing the president of the company on this one. The manager, who, really is just a successful salesman who got promoted to salary, actually tried to justify it by telling me that the other locker room was closed, and, I look at him in the eyes, and say, dude, IT"S THE MEN"S LOCKER ROOM and the little girl was maybe 4. Jezuz Christ. Sometimes I feel like I was born on a different planet.

Did AR hack your account?

[Mazderati]

William Shatner seems more likely.

[St. Jerry]

Sorry, drama queen.
I'd say just go to another part of the locker room to change.

[Benny Profane]

It's small enough that there is no "other" part.

Is that what she said?

You should have told the manager that you can't have another one of these on your record.

[Hugh Conway]

spit on their pizza next delivery.

[Moeghoul]

Seems like you couldve left yer shorts on, showered, then wrap a towel around yourself. But the dad did it wrong, he should've taken her into the ladies locker room. I'd be more worried about the dad.

You're asian too?

?.. I entered the locker room, I look down, and a little girl was sitting right in the middle of the room having her hair dried by her father. He seemed to be Japanese, as so was she.

To answer the question, yes.

[beaterdit]

Why didn't you just tell the guy to take his daughter elsewhere? Jesus, you go yell at the manager? He prolly didn't even know till you pointed it out. Don't be such a pussy in the future.

[DJSapp]

With nothing bit Japanese porn as my guide, I would assume that he thought everyone else's junk would be blurred and pixaliated

[bfree]

Isn't that somewhat normal? Okay maybe 4 is a bit old, but what do you want the dude to do? Leave her alone outside?

Getting busted for something like that is all about intent. If you're waving your dong around the girl, that's one thing. Just turn around, quickly do your business, and move on with your day. If she's on the way home asking daddy what was that one eyed monster...well it's not your fault. It was their choice to be in the men's locker room, you're not getting in trouble for normal behavior in the men's locker room. For all you know, it was some girly looking young boy.

"I'm still on probation from the last one!"

What's the issue again? Did you start thinking naughty thoughts or get a chubby when you saw the kid? Did she point at your junk and start laughing?

Parents bring little kids of the opposite sex into bathrooms and locker rooms all the time. The kids are too young to "know" that nudity is evil, so I think the problem is...you.

[TNKen]

Being on the sex offender registry is not really bad, is it?

Nope, problem isn't me. I've been around long enough to see the hysteria of parents sweep up innocent bystanders as they become convinced that their little darlings have been molested, or even looked at the wrong way. Remember those poor fuckers who ran that day care center (it was a family) and all got put away for a very long time for imaginary crimes? That shit takes on a life on it's own, and with the help of ambitious prosecutors, lawyers and media can snowball into something I want no part of. I didn't write the rules that a lot of uptight America seems to live by as they lead their sexless lives, but I've seen that shit turned on a some people who are destroyed for life.
Sure, it would be cool for everyone to be cool about all that, but, unless you live in some hippie commune, it ain't cool, in my book.

[The AD]

Am I being a drama queen here?

Yes. Where I swim I see dads bringing their young daughters into the men's locker room just about every day. What the heck are you worried about? If mom's not there what are they supposed to do? Just change like you normally do. The kid isn't going to be scarred for life by seeing your Johnson.

So you weren't really interested in whether you're a drama queen or not. You just want to be one.

[Danno]

The parent is in there with the child; who is going to make accusations? Just ignore the kid and you'll be fine. If, however, you want to stroke yourself while staring directly at the child, expect to get in trouble. If not there, somewhere.

[Hugh Conway]

True, but Benny's going to be scarred when the kid points and laughs.

Well fucking done. Spat coffee over keyboard.

Edit.... why does him being Japanese matter? Would it be less of a concern to you if he was let's say Indian or Korean?
