Due to road works, the bus stop has temporarily moved outside my house. AIBU to be annoyed with people sitting on my front garden wall waiting for the bus?

Also, is it more reasonable to be annoyed because I spend all day breast feeding in my front room and it feels like I have an audience?

My parents have a wall next to an alley, they had to have the top bricks put on at an angle to stop people sitting on it.

I don't understand parents who let their young children play on other people's property, be that walking on their walls, running on their grass or any other trespass - it's the ideal chance to teach them respect for others' stuff.

It's your wall & I will respect that, but tbh, I would you as a misery guts.
Put a sign out asking people not to sit there, I guess.

It would annoy me too, but completely illogically. I live on a corner next to a group of office buildings (although it's mainly a residential street) and there's a bunch workers who always come out and stand smoking on the corner of my front garden. I have high hedges so can't see them but I can smell the smoke & I find it really irritating. I feel like they're invading my space.

Wouldn't bother me at all and I would probably sit on the wall too if I had to wait at a bus stop next to an inviting wall. It's not causing the wall any damage, is it ?
Not sure why you mentioned feeding your baby - after all, people sitting on the wall are likely to have their backs to you, people standing up or walking past are more likely to be nosing in, if you are worried about someone seeing you.
FYI, we live next to a Drs and quite often have people sitting on our wall when waiting for their lifts. They usually jump up if I drive up or come out of the front door, but I tell them they are fine to sit there.
