ULPT: Use microwave in public parents bathroom to heat food

Posted by WhydoIexistlmoa@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 27 comments

Some facilities and bathrooms for parents (moreso for mothers 🤷) have a microwave in them, meant for heating up milk. If you somehow find one (and are a woman), you can use it to heat up food.

So men don't use baby change facilities, hmm? 🤔

A lot of baby change facilities are in the women's room. Don't cause an argument where there is none.

A lot aren't. In fact, where I am , most aren't.

I meant in reference to the amount of parents/ baby rooms.

Is this UnhygienicLifeProTips?

Also, I have been in thousands of women’s rooms and I’ve never ever once seen one with a microwave in it. Where do you live where people microwave in the bathroom lol?

They are referring to the baby/family bathroom that they have in many places. The microwave is there to heat baby food or water

Yes, that’s what we’re talking about. Where have you actually seen this?

We have these type of family rooms in large shopping centers in the UK too.

I've seen it in many places in Spain, France and Netherlands, specially inside big commercial areas

In Australia depending on the size of a shopping centre you may be able to find one in the bathrooms there. In offices i work at there's generally one.

They usually have a dedicated parents room with a changing table, bench, microwave. May have a fridge if its in an office building/high income area.

Probably for warming up bottled milk. Ok parents rooms in malls in Australia are not akin to bathrooms. They're more like a big lounge with cubicles and a small play area.

Why are you taking food into public bathrooms? And like, what kind of food, that it needs to be heated? Like canned soups?

You know, a lot of cafes allow customers to plug in their laptops. If you find such a cafe, just plug in your KitchenAid device and whip up a tiramisu. 🤦‍♂️

I'm not heating anything. Someone I knew used to buy microwavable popcorn and make it in the microwave to eat at the cinema rather than paying the cost of it.

jailbird@reddit

Umm, make it at home and bring it to the cinema in a backpack?

[-]

WhydoIexistlmoa@reddit (OP)

It would be hotter and fresher in a microwave 🤷

Don't ask me lol

They make nice carrying cases for sometimes models, and overall they are still smaller than carrying ina full desktop pc and monitor setup (that I've seen someone bring into a Starbucks)

Years ago I, (a dad), was mid-nappy change in a parents room in a shopping mall when a dude from the supermarket walked in, casually microwaved a pre-cooked half-chicken for three minutes mere centimetres from my child’s unholy abomination of a nappy.

This was thirteen years ago and I still think of it often.

How'd it go?
