![Dressing room 'peek hole' sparks debate on TikTok](https://www.indy100.com/media-library/image.png?id=52013598&width=1245&height=700&quality=85&coordinates=0%2C104%2C0%2C0)
A clothes shop has sparked a debate on TikTok for having a peek hole in female dressing rooms.
A visibly stunned woman (@snorkellingmeatball) turned to the platform with her discovery that showed a small hole carved in the changing rooms reading: "Want us to take a peek?"
The clip has since racked up almost two million views and thousands more comments.
Many viewers believed it to be inappropriate, with one writing: "'Want us to take a peek?' is crazy. like, it feels like a threat."
Another said it was their "worst nightmare."
A third added: "What in the red light district?"
However, it didn't take long for fellow TikTokers to chime in with explanations that were much reasonable.
"They have had these change rooms for a while, they brought them in when they started offering bra fitting, so they could view the fit without getting in," one person explained, with another suggesting: "I think it means to ask someone if the outfit looks good once you already dressed without having to come out."
@snorkelingmeatball WHAT IS THIS @COTTON ON
One person thought it was a great idea, writing: "It’s good if you’re shopping with a friend and don’t wanna open the whole door and it locks from the inside."
Meanwhile, one boyfriend "who waits outside of a changing room for hours" claimed, "it’s for people who want to know what you think of the clothing."
It could be worse...
Take Paula, who came across a pair of used boxers on a rack in a clothing shop.
"I was really open-minded when I went because you truly never know what you’re going to find. I was in the short[s] section, going through the hangers, sliding them along and I came across a pair of shorts," she told Need to Know.
"I immediately knew these didn’t belong there but I had to double-check."
Paula then took it upon herself to get rid of the dirty pair.
