Just so I'm tracking...a woman was by herself and said she felt unsafe and we're making fun of her? Is that a thing now?

I doubt because it was because of them being a minority...probably because they were male. You see...most of the rapist in the world are male. Domestic violence-males. Assault on females are done by males. Thats why we teach women and daughters to be aware of their surroundings....to trust their instincts.

Thanks Windguy.....

He is going to monitor this!

You felt unsafe? Did you stay? Im sure you did since you have an exact count of 19. Im sure they never even gave you a second look as they are too busy and just stopped for a call of nature.

If we need a pass to get into a pool, then this is not public facilities to use. The workers come in with dirty shoes, landscapers with dirt or fertilizer on them and we are walking in the same area with bare feet. There are portable potties, and also public restrooms at the bocci courts.NO workers are needed to be entering our pools.

Don’t even know what to say about this post, but wow!

Racism runs rampant in TV. I was suggesting that perhaps this woman was unhappy because minorities were using her restroom. If she were truly afraid of her well being, she would have left. She instead hung around to count the number of people. So I don't think safety was the real reason she was upset.

The posters who would desperately try to make OP out to be racist… how do you know the contractors weren’t her race? And those who would paint her elitist… my home watch couple live in a better home than mine they have a large home with a pool in TV.
I hear OP’s fear… they were men and sometimes using the ladies. Many men. Why can’t you hear THAT?

Because that doesn't fit their "holier than thou" attitude...

I totally understand they need to use the facility, but if she was saying men are using ladies bathroom...well, no way.
Why can't they use the men's room?
Yes....I would be very uncomfortable.

Because she didn't leave. "Why can’t you hear THAT?"

I assume that happened because there were several men/people and they were trying to hurry things along. There was no mention of making the ladies' unavailable to any lady who needed to use it.

I also assume that at this pool, like the few others I have visited, the restrooms serve a single person at a time. If that is the case, what makes the men's room different than the ladies' other than the sign on the door? Does feeling "unsafe" include the fear of catching cooties?

[Velvet]

“Because she didn’t leave… “ if she was a resident she pays for that pool… would you leave what you paid for?

If this situation happens often, the contractor has a responsibility to look after the needs of the employees. Intimidating residents can’t be part of that.

Really?? I am confused...would you be OK if it was your wife...if she was using the bathroom, wearing only her bathing suit, (maybe in the midst of adjusting
it) only female within half a mile and some male worker comes into the ladies room to d#%p.
You say...stop being paranoid, get over it, it's 830am.
Just saying, maybe 40yrs ago she had been raped....now her fear sets in.
It truly is different for men, no doubt. I can tell you all, right now, no woman wants this situation. And the color of his skin has absolutely nothing to do with it.

The bathrooms at the adult pools are 1 stall. Lock the door and nobody can enter. I do not see any problem of anyone using either bathroom. If she was so frightened she should have left.

Much rather they use the pool bath than just going around the back and going anywhere. If they are neat and not damaging anything mind your own business
