Why sit in the kids section if you don’t want to be around kids

Sat having lunch in Ikea with my Dd, very quiet, not many people and lots of free tables inside and out. We’re sat in the kids area, Dd is playing.
Oldsr couple chooses to come and sit on a table nearby.
Couple starts tutting and complaining under their breath about the kids making some noise (not excessive) whilst they play

Why would you sit in a kids area, if you didn’t want the noise of kids 🤷🏻‍♀️

Annoying.

People are weird but I'm struggling more with the information that the IKEA cafe was quiet at lunchtime on a Saturday.

Oh how silly - totally with you on this!

Bizarre behaviour. Some people like to complain about everything don't they though.

Of course not! Silly people.

Or does the place offer YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME IN FOR COFFEE AND A GRUMBLE ?

I find this happens to me a lot, for example on the train empty carriage someone will get on and sit right opposite us despite the train being relatively empty then look annoyed or tut if my kids so much as speak, don’t know why people do it but I’m sure people will be along to make excuses that it’s their “favourite seat” and your child should be quiet at all times when out in public
