Dirty Nappies

Love2love

On a flight to Ireland recently, about 10 minutes in, I got this horrendous stench which was obviously coming from the baby, on the seat opposite. The child was crying and moaning for about 20 minutes before the mother decided to do anything........ at this point I almost passed out from the smell and I felt really sorry for the child. So the mother stands up, takes out a bag from the overhead locker and proceed to change the child's nappy on the seat without putting down any plastic or anything to protect the seat or the clothes of the person who would have to sit down on it later. Changes the child, folds up the dirty nappy and leaves it there on the seat where everyone could be subjected to it.
Now my first impression was that Ryanair don't have the facilities on board for such if that what she has to do but I have since found out that they do.

Why? Why? Why would anybody do that?

Well unless she thought there was no toilets in the plane or something. I think the toilets (even though how small they are) have a changing facility. Did no one alert one of the cabin crew?

Always wanted to do that on a long-haul flight in first class...

You obviously don't have kids.

That's a pretty stupid reply - you would end up serving 20 years if it was a flight to the US.

Maybe she was embarrassed - and tried to hold off as long as possible hoping it was a "small" one out of consideration for the other passengers?

Most of the trolly dollies are clueless and ignorant when it comes to babies on a plane. Been there done that. I agree she should have used a changing mat which is standard in baby changing bags these days.

As for the toilet, there is NO WAY you could change a baby in there.

With the current restrictions it's a nightmare taking a baby on a plane anyway .

Because they have the manners of a pig.

Was working in a pub last year when a parent changed a childs nappy in the mens toilet and left the used nappy on the ground. Not even in the bin. The parent in question is an ignorant cnut whom I had no time for anyway but this proved my perception of him. Would he do this in his own home?

Any plane I've ever been on has a fold out table to change the baby on in the toilet, it may be a bit cramped but it's still way better than trying to do it on the seats.

I seen a woman change her baby on the floor of the number 27 bus once... she used an old Tatyo crisp bag to wipe the baby's bottom and everything.

Was raining and a regular customer came in with her niece or grandaughter in a buggy. Now in fairness I make allowances for this woman and try not to get too exasperated by her in general because I think she has a subnormal IQ tbh.

Anyway she takes the baby out of the buggy, puts it on top of the HB freezer. I crane my neck to see what she is doing (Showing the baby the ice creams??). She's starting to change the babies sh1tty nappy on top of the fridge!!

I say, "Excuse me, what do you think your doing!". "Changing the babies nappy", "You can't do that here!!", "But its raining outside!, Why can't I do it here??"

I spent 5 minutes explaining why and eventually she left the shop disgusted that I wouldn't let here do a simple thing like.........CHANGE A SH1TTY NAPPY ON TOP OF AN ICE CREAM FRIDGE!!!

I saw a discussion a while ago on another forum, someone was complaining that they'd been subjected to people changing their baby's nappy in a restaurant. Imagine the smell of that while you're eating!

Please tell me you're joking.

That's the 27 for you.

More people should breast feed... Babies who are breast fed don't smell as bad... but it's a hell of a lot messier.

I'm actually an advocate of breastfeeding so I 100% agree!

I still can't believe someone would use a crisp bag to wipe their baby's butt. That's disturbing. I mean, yeah, if you're on a long bus ride and your baby poops, then well...it's in the best interest of the passengers if you change your baby on the bus. But on the dirty, disgusting floor...and using a crisp bag to wipe? I just can't understand that. Why risk your baby's health like that?

Oh well.

monkeyfudge

yep... an it was an aluminum crisp bag with still plenty of crisp fragments caked into the side of it.. she also left the bag on the bus...

This was all on the floor in front of the stairs on the bus.. a bus journey that would normally only last about 30 minutes or so.

Some people never cease to amaze me.

I almost passed out from the smell and I felt really sorry for the child. So the mother stands up, takes out a bag from the overhead locker and proceed to change the child's nappy on the seat without putting down any plastic or anything to protect the seat or the clothes of the person who would have to sit down on it later. Changes the child, folds up the dirty nappy and leaves it there on the seat where everyone could be subjected to it.
Now my first impression was that Ryanair don't have the facilities on board for such if that what she has to do but I have since found out that they do.


Uggggghhhhhh, how utterly gross! What a rude and unhygienic thing to do. What, didn't the flight attendants say anything?
Like "Excuse me,Miss, I believe that's YOUR bag of stinky sh1t...." Jeesh,I saw my neighbor let his two LARGE dogs crap on my lawn one time and I bagged up the dogsh1t and left it on his front steps with a note saying "THIS BELONGS TO YOU", (and in my opinion I was being very polite as my first choice was return it splattered across his windshield.) Clean your own mess, FFS, it goes for us all. Everywhere, all the time.

Perhaps he bathroom would be more commonplace, that's just rude and ignorant!
Are restaurants/pubs required to have baby changing facilities because I think they should be!

i agree that is ignorant...

but. have you ever tried to change a child in a plane toilet...
it is very difficult... but that is no excuse for some of her behavior.

i have no problem in changing the child out on the seat, but yes with a cover and yes dispose of the nappy.

I was in the library in Blanchardstown about two years ago reading some book or other at a table, all my stuff laid out. In through the door comes a Nigerian woman with a baby, and proceeds to change her baby's nappy on my table.

I couldn't believe me eyes (or nose) and remonstrated with her, she just shouted something and kept on an it. I asked the library staff to do something but they just stood there like cardboard cutouts.

I haven't been back to the place since. Do they not have changing facilities nearby ?! Bad enough that that library is noisy with gobshytes talking and yakking, phones going off etc.

Oh - *and* she left the stinky nappy sitting on the table when she left, I bet it was starting to melt through the tabletop.

pleba

was on a fairly packed commuter train in dublin a few weeks ago and was sat at one of the tables with 4 seats around it. A woman gets on and sits at the table across from me with 3 other people sitting there. She had a buggy with her which she kept alongside her. As soon as she sat down, she took the baby from the buggy, sat him up on the table and proceeded to change his very sh**ty nappy with only the smallest of towels underneath the baby. Needless to say there were bits of s**t left on the table.
To top that off she then put the baby down into the buggy before she had put on a new nappy. The baby then peed all over the floor.
Neither the floor nor the table were cleaned by this woman before she got off.

I was disgusted to say the least but then again what can or what should you do in that situation?

brown*eyed*girl

I think its just ignorance and rude what that woman did. Seriously if it was me or any other parent I know, first off we wouldn't wait an hour in the first place (baby could get a sore bum), secondly I'd ask the cabin crew if there was nappy changing facilities in the toilet and if they were I go there. If there weren't I'd explain to the people sitting near me that I have no choice but to change my baby on my lap or seat and apologise for the smell. I'd try make it a bit lighthearted. Also if you change your baby shortly after they're dirty and change them quickly and put the dirty nappy in a scented nappy sack and put it in the bin in the toilet the smell would'nt linger for too long.
