Train Trip Turns into Unexpected Diaper Shower
After a long day at work, one commuter was all set to enjoy a cozy meal at home — until he found himself staring at a very… unexpected scene on the North‑South Line.
The Incident
It was a calm Sunday evening (Nov 8). The train was cruising near Bishan MRT station when a mother decided it was the perfect “public restroom break.” She started changing her toddler’s diaper right in front of everyone, leaving a little “dump” on the seat.
In the photo shared by the commuter, the toddler is standing on a seat, still without pants, while the mother, probably the man’s own mother, tossed the trash into plastic bags.
Commuter’s Reaction
“All I wanted was a nice dinner back in Sembawang, but then I saw this mother doing a diaper disaster live on the train,” he said. “Other people just kept on with their business. It was embarrassing, and you can almost hear the train’s ‘whoosh’ echo the words “big snoop.”
Why It’s Gave Everyone a Second Look
- Awkwardness: Every adult immediately tried to avoid eye contact.
- Hygiene concerns: The “public wash” turned into a laugh‑and‑cry moment for many.
- Empathy: Though it felt cringe‑worthy, a few people reminded themselves that all parents go through diaper nightmares too.
Takeaway
While it was an unexpected detour from the commuter’s plans, it also highlighted that one’s day can quickly turn from routine to pure chaos if you’re on the wrong train at the wrong time. So, next time you catch a train, maybe keep a diaper bag handy — just in case!
