If you don't like it don't look. But honestly a lot of bathrooms (especially for men) are not really the best place to change your kid, even if it has a changing table (which is rarely the case unless its a mall or something).
My son is 2 and in the process of potty training. getting him to pee in a toilet is like pulling teeth. But for some reason he enjoys peeing outside...and on things. I wouldn't let him pee on someones car. Thats pretty messed up. But i do let him go behind a tree and let loose.
The only thing that i can't tolerate is when people have a crying baby in a restraunt and they don't excuse themselves with the baby. Thats ignorant and i would kick you out of my establishment personally. You don't have to leave, just get up and step out real quick and calm the child down. I don't mean when a kid just cries for a second. I mean when they're just pitching a huge fit and screaming, etc. I see it happen allllll the time and it drives me nuts. But i've been there and i always stopped to remember how much it annoyed me. So i would grab up my son and we'd step outside or into the bathroom until he calmed down.
Not knocking you, thats just my experience and perception.

LOL. I dunno. I used to have to change diapers all the time for my youngest siblings. There's a 10 year age gap between us. It's not a pleasant experience, but I don't see the need to share that experience with anyone else. If you just drove an hour and he/she needs changing, do it in the back seat. I see lots of parents use this method. It works quite well.
I'm not going to tell you how to potty train your kid. That's between you, him, and the tree
I agree on the screaming baby. It's understandable if they're new born, but I REALLY can't stand the toddlers who are pitching a fit and just screaming while their parents ignore them in the hopes they'll shut up.
