to feel annoyed at that women in the coffee shop?

[gabsid]

Today I sat down at a sofa (2 2-seater sofas) in a busy city coffee shop enjoying my coffee and waiting for DP and DC. A woman with a baby came up to me and asked whether the second sofa was free and I said no since I was waiting - fine. The people on the next sofa just left so she took that seat, when within the next 5 minutes another 3 women with 2 babies arrived!

Had I been by myself I would have offered the sofa and I would have been happy for 2 more people to share my table, but share 2 2-seater sofas with 4 adults and 2 babies? I would have been very annoyed and probably left to find somewhere else to sit. That would have been so rude of them!

Luckily it didn't come to that, but it might have.

MrsKoala I am crying

[BenjaminButton172]

And i thought my day was bad.
Oh dear OP i do hope you are well now.

Have you considered counselling?

Even if you don't engage a therapist you should definitely call the police HUN

[olivertheoctopus]

I have read the post 3 times and still don't understand it...

[sleeton]

next time smear shit all over your face and no one will want to share your table

I think you just made me wet myself ........

[LovesBeingWokenEveryNight]

No I've read it three times and I have no idea what Jeff you are on about

Poor OP

[SmilingCrocodile]

No I've read it three times and I have no idea what Jeff you are on about

What I understood from the thread is -

If the OP was completely by herself in the coffee shop and the 3 women with 2 babies had asked if they could share the 2-seater sofa she was sitting on then she would have found that annoying and unreasonable.

But they never asked ... and therefore this situation never happened.

i am genuinely shocked i am the only poster to offer the OP a real solution to this problem. shame on you all. tsk tsk.

Next time, cover all the remaining spare seats with beach towels. That way other people will know they are reserved and not bother you

[SmilingCrocodile]

I didn't get that Euphemia

3 women & 2 babies + the OP with = the 4 women and 2 babies
(The 4 adults and 2 babies mentioned in the OP)

If it was the 3 women & 2 babies + the other women baby that would = 4 adults and 3 babies.

They also never approached the OP and asked if they could sit there.

I am wondering if the OP is the woman who saved 2 seats in Argos today, whilst her DP and DC paid!

DS and I were sat there looking like this going WTF?

(I swear to you all, that did happen!)

[SuePurblybilt]

No, no, no.

OP was saving seats and approached by Woman One. She said no, Woman One found another table. Woman One then joined by Women Many.
IMAGINE if OP had not said no to sharing - she'd have been sitting Really Quite Near to the many Women and their babies.
Luckily she did and so she didn't. Phew.

[JamieandtheMagicTorch]

Actually. I don't understand the OP

[CheerfulYank]

Wtaf? :o

[JamieandtheMagicTorch]

Right

Why did you (OP) say the second sofa wasn't free?

a) it wasn't your sofa. You had a sofa to yourself (sofa 1)

and/or

b) other people were sitting right there (sofa 2) (the ones you say left shortly afterwards) so she could see it wasn't free

Love this thread! Nearly made me laugh as much as the farting one from weeks ago!
