Oh, somebody in the back of the class was nursing her baby, and it offended me so much!
I agree, babies should not routinely be in college classrooms, but the only way you know she was breastfeeding and not bottlefeeding is if you turned around and looked. You don't wanna be upset, don't look. Would you rather she'd let the kid cry?
Oh, somebody in the restaurant was nursing her baby, ugh! She should go to the bathroom to do that!
Most people are very discreet about it, covering with cloth and turning in towards the booth. It's possible this person wasn't, but your solution still sucks. Not only is the bathroom extremely unhygenic, and a terrible place to eat your lunch, but do you really want this woman to clog up a stall, or in some restaurants the ENTIRE BATHROOM for however long it takes her to feed her baby? Get a grip!
OMG! Somebody... changed their baby's diaper in the bathroom! I didn't go there to be exposed to bodily functions!
And what do you think the bathroom is for? Yes, changing the diaper at the table is icky. Changing it in the bathroom is practical and normal.
NOOO! I went to see a kid's movie... afterschool... and there were... CHILDREN there!
*headdesk*
Now, in fairness, a lot of those people, whatever they say, seem to care a great deal about kids... there's a number of posts on the subject of "parents shouldn't do that sort of fucked up shit to their kids", with the fucked up shit in question ranging from not feeding them right to murder. And it's certainly a rant community more than anything else, I'm not denying that we all need a place to vent. But... *giggles* Sometimes certain comments are over the top.

I'm still not sure why they're all 1. so grossed out or 2. apparently, judging from ACTUAL COMMENTS (not just my surmising) turning around and then being shocked at what they see.
