Waiting for a friend to turn up! I sit at a table and the whole coffee shop is empty. I order my hot chocolate and start drinking and then a woman walks in orders her drink and sits at my table!! I’m stunned. I actually didn’t know what to say!! Should I ask her to move or move myself ? I’m messaged mg friend saying some woman has sat at our table!! My friend turns up and I said to her I’ve messaged you and she looks at her phone and sees the text I sent to her saying some random woman has just sat at my table and she suggests we both move which we did!!
should I of asked the woman to move?

It was weird and rude of the woman, but I don't get why you had to message your friend what to do - why couldn't you make the decision to move yourself, how do you even get through the day?

Why didn't you just smile & say 'Hi' it could be that she's really needed to speak to someone & didn't now how to start.

I can't believe you didn't just say, "Sorry, I'm waiting for my friend".

But this is Mumsnet where it seems 90% of posters are too 'shocked', 'stunned', 'gobsmacked' etc to utter a word to anyone 🤷‍♂️

Totally agree with this.

I didn’t ask my friend what to do! I messaged my friend to say some woman has just sat at our table 🤷‍♀️ you don’t have to be so rude saying how do I get through the day!! I’m asking peoples opinion what they would do!! The fact that I didn’t say something was I think a good thing as she turned up at my son’s school (a parent) and if I said something then it could of been worse at the school.
Thanks for all your replies!
