Woman moving dirty plates onto MY table...

[elodie2000]

In cafe today (with friend) sat at one side of a table for 4.
There was another table for 4 next to us which had plates/ wrappers/ teacups on it waiting to be cleared.
A woman and her DH came along and cleared the stuff off the table next to us onto the side of ours before sitting down.
AIBU to think WTF? They had a nice clean table for 4 between the two of them and we aquired a load of dirty plates next to us.
was I wrong to get up and put it all back on their table?
Still cross now...

[Floggingmolly]

I'd have put it back in her lap... why didn't you say something?

[ScarletForYa]

Please tell me you said something?

I can't take another I don't like confrontation thread.

[rightguard]

Someone did this to me once.

I was very passive aggressive and gave them a look, piled up the plates and took them to the counter myself.

I like to think they realised how unreasonable they had been by my withering look and muttering under my breath.

[Scrumptiousbears]

Think I'd have asked them what they expected me to do with them. Entitled people piss me right off.

[JellyBelli]

She was clearly trying to start a fight. Theres no other rational explanation.

[SortAllTheThings]

I hope you dumped the plates right back on their table?

[Ohdearducks]

Cheeky bitch! She didn't want dirty plates near her but it's ok to dump them next to you? Nope, just fuck off with that nonsense right now.

[scootinFun]

So, did you put them back on their table? What an odd thing for her to do!

[pipsqueak25]

i would have put them back on her table - bolshey cow me

[elodie2000]

I looked at my friend , got up and put it all back on their table! I then put my bag on the other half of ou'our' table. BUT, I didn't look at them! Passive aggressive me.
I heard mumbling and complaining coming from the woman.
WHY would she do that? Are people really so unaware?

[elodie2000]

Ohdearducks

[VeryBitchyRestingFace]

I would have said forcefully politely,

"Excuse me, I think you've made a mistake. These aren't ours."

Then move them back.

[QueenMortificado]

Good work OP!!

I fucking hate threads after the event that said "should I have done XYZ?". Yes you fucking should have done. Grow a pair and act like an adult not like a puppy who's afraid of being kicked.

People are cheeky bastards when other people let them get away with it.

[ozymandiusking]

I was absolutely speechless reading this. I would have said, " what the fuck do you think you are doing?" she wouldn't have had chance to finish moving them, before I put them back. Cheeky bitch.

[elodie2000]

Queen I've really just come on here for a moan... I've been complaining to anyone who'll listen all afternoon. We were in John Lewis cafe. The man was wearing salmon chinos and brogues FGS. I'm still so cross.

[QueenMortificado]

I'm saying good work for saying something OP! Wasn't having a go

[scootinFun]

Salmon chinos - enough said!

[elodie2000]

ozy I think some people are so intent on having their own needs met that they can't see anyone else around them.

[TheMortificadosDragon]

Is this a moan or a stealth boast that you actually did what most of us would have wanted to do but been too scared overly polite to do?

[elodie2000]

Oh I know Queen ! It didn't come accross that way!

[elodie2000]

across

[Phalenopsisgirl]

Fan bloody tastic

[2kids2dogsnosense]

I wish I'd been there. I won have cheered you on!

[WorraLiberty]

I'm glad you put it back on their table because like ScarletForYa, I'm not sure I could take another 'I don't like confrontation' thread either

I'm confused as to why you used the strike through though, as it's pretty central to the story
