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.

OP next time, put your futon it.

[JamieandtheMagicTorch]

I feel a bit guilty. I think the OP would have had a point and now we're getting all carried away with silliness and puns.

OP

Come back, you don't have to "settle" for this treatment

[JamieandtheMagicTorch]

Don't suffah (Arabic for sofa .) in silence

[SuePurblybilt]

Course, when I were a lad there were none of this sofas in coffee shops nonsense. But then. I'm old-Stool.

I think the OP has disappeared in a pouffe of smoke.

[BOEUF]

Chair up love, it might never happen.

OK just to clarify for all who are having trouble understanding the OP's scenario:

She goes into café and sits her arse on one two-arsed sofa.
There is a further two-arse sofa nearby - probably across a low oak coffee table. I imagine the sofas are brown leather.

This cheeky bastard walks into the café and asks OP - Can I sit my arse on that spare two-arsed sofa sitting at the other side of the low oak coffee table?

OP at this point sweetly smiles and says no I'm waiting for husband and weans to arrive - probably only two weans as you can't overcrowd two-arse sofas and the OP is well aware of this.

Cheeky bastard newcomer probably rolls her eyes, thinking what a numpty, and goes off to another area in the café where there is another two-arse sofa free. She sits her one arse on sofa and is shortly joined by another 3 women with one arse each - and two babies into the bargain!

Well at this point the OP thinks, thank goodness she didn't sit on MY other brown leather two-arse sofa which is sitting on the opposite side of the low oak coffee table from me! If that had happened there would have been a total of five adult women arses and two weans to sit on two two-arse sofas. (OP's arse and the other four women's arses, just to reiterate).

Now of course, all of this has really upset the OP, but before you all condemn her please just think of this. None of you can judge as you don't know the size of the OP's arse. She might have had a medical need to ensure that her arse wasn't squeezed in any way. Or perhaps not.

HTH

Imagine if she'd sat down and BF
There would have been a chest( in your)field of vision!!!

Terrible. Other people daring to clog up cafés with their children just when you wanted the Whole World for your one child.

Some people have no consideration.

[JamieandtheMagicTorch]

[SuePurblybilt]

Look, the poor OP clearly meant no arm. rest assured, it could happen to anyone.

[JamieandtheMagicTorch]

Oh my upholstered dais!

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

Yeh yeh yeh, sofa jokes blah blah v good but LOOK Sue's back hurrah!

[SirChenjin]

Good - that's what you get got keeping a seat in a coffee shop. Buy your bloody coffee and THEN find a seat so those of us who have already bought our coffees don't have to wander round a cafe looking at tables with only one person on them while our coffee gets cold

[MillyMollyMandy78]

I have had the worst day (seriously - and nothing to do with sofas) but this thread has made my day. So funny!

[Fleecyslippers]

Faux leather or real leather ?

[apostropheuse]

Faux leather, with saggy cushions subtly shaped by the many arses which have graced them fleecy

"So funny" - brilliant MMM78

I get ya op. I was in Costa yesterday and a woman asked me if she could have the paper that was on my table as I was leaving. It was my paper and I hadn't finished with it so she apologised and had to make do with an Express from another table. It's a good job she didn't throw her coffee in my face, wrestle me to the ground and take the paper from me. I'd have been really mad with her for a really long time.

If anyone manages to get chaise longue into a post, I will follow them around the boards agreeing with everything they say forevermore.
