Totally dependent on how old the woman is

If that's meant as a clarification of the OP the shrew looked to be in her early 50's.

so now what grando1.0?

Howard, going forward you need a new plan for dealing with your mom in the ladies room. Peeking in doesn't do anything for you.

If she falls
A.) there's someone closer inside (usually) who will help her first.
B.) You'll hear and that will be a good reason to pop in.
C.) You don't think you'd be able to prevent a fall by peeking in, do you?
D.) If you were wearing the raincoat in your photo when peeking, I'm sure you looked creepy af.

So if you're asking what your play is, it's to come up with a new plan. Go to a lunch place that has a single bathroom, not a community one.

"But I like the cheese cake factory. It's where I get my burger with extra raw onions."

You gotta veer, veer hard.

"I'm just waiting for my food to come out."

That's paper TOWEL, not plate.

Wait, there's a Cheesecake Factory in Phoenix? I don't have to wait until I go to Vegas to use my gift cards?

5 in Phoenix Metro, including Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale and Peoria.

When I first read this I thought the door Howard was standing by was a stall door inside the ladies room and he was peeking through the crack into the stall. Would have made a better story.

So a young hottie with a bit of spunk! What's not to like?

You will have to visualize this response Howard, but you need to punch that *****! Enjoy the sound:

Yeah, I'm the last person on earth who would condone violence but an atomic elbow is the only play here.

It's hilarious thinking of you guys advocating Jerry Sandusky to kick some ass.

How dare those bitches question you Coach?!?

I saw a pasty white butt attached to a drunk guy who passed out in the trough urinal at Wrigley field about 25 years ago - I was the doc on duty for the park and we had to fish the guy out and turn him over to the cops. Good times.

What happened to...

One does not answer a nasty hag in a reasonable way, that's my policy.

So.....what happened when hostess walked over?

I said that I was keeping an eye on my 90 y.o. mother who came trundling out of the rest room (some woman had opened the door for her) right on cue and the hostess spun on her heel and walked back to the podium.

Hag has not been seen since, will report back next Thursday if there's another incident.

An old man peeking into the men's or women's restroom is creepy. Hostess was right to try and stop the creeping.

Bingo!

Howard needs a new game for the old nasty hag he's coveting.

Howard needs to move on. He is too impatient for her hard-to-get ploy to be effective.

Happy hunting, Howard!

Howard,

Why not "Bosom Buddies" things up a bit?



If you dress in drag when taking your mom to lunch you could reap the multiple benefits:

1. Provide your mom with a new and interesting dining companion, so she doesn't have to eat with her son all the time.

2. Get to use those sweet women's restrooms with their fancy chandeliers and fountains, while keep an eye on mom, and the cougars, at the same time.

3. Apparently there's lots of old perv creepers near the restrooms, you might get lucky.

Maybe I SHOULD change my approach. There is something to be said for dirty hate sex and I haven't had any in a few months.

ETA, now that you mention it: There's a local restaurant we go to once/wk and mom mentioned how fancy it was so I went in and, sure enough, it's a lot nicer than the men's room. Then another woman entered, gave us both a look, and I oiled off just like Bertie Wooster's Jeeves. But no hag like behavior. Most women size up the situation w/ a glance but I happened to run into one that's got a hair trigger.

Now that I think about it i'm pretty sure the last overt display of genitals I saw in a male bathroom was a girl squatting to take a piss in a communal floor to wall urinal at a motorhead gig. She must have been taking a ton of spray as well cos the guys either side of her weren't giving her much space. Should've asked for her number in retrospect but I was only 14 at the time.

She thought she had a reason to be upset with you?

You tell her you're checking on mom and she probably says sorry and moves along.

Guess that wouldn't be any fun.

I think your move is to keep doing what you're doing, and if questioned again you should make a power play like entering the ladies' room and taking photos of your accuser. Make her aware of your rights and that her infringing on the ADA will not be tolerated.
