This morning I popped into my local branch of Costa, it was very busy and there were hardly any seats. What annoyed me was the number of people who had obviously finished eating and drinking and were still sat there hogging tables. Surely when you've finished you get up and go and let someone else sit down? They could clearly see how busy it was.
Eventually I found a small table in a corner and next to me was a man with a laptop in front of him, he had a table that was obviously meant for four all to himself and there were papers and stuff all spread out everywhere on it. He didn't have a coffee or any food on the table, and was sat there, seemingly oblivious, typing into his laptop.
Now he may have had a coffee or drink, that he'd finished and the staff had cleared up but surely if you've finished you either get another drink or go? It was very busy and there were people wandering up and down looking for somewhere to sit. If you want to go somewhere to use your laptop go to a fucking library not a place when people go to eat and drink?
There was also two other men sat on another massive table, obviously having some kind of business meeting with a laptop and spreadsheets and god knows what else spend out. Although they did at least have coffees.
AIBU to think the people are selfish? And why the hell would you have a business meeting in a Costa anyway?! I drank my drink and went after about 29 minutes and these men were still sat there hogging tables.

Annoyed at people who hog tables at Costa/Starbucks etc? Especially when no longer eating or drinking!
