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.

Uzi does it now.

This is just a field (chesterfield?) day for the Larkers, innit?

Poor OP. Sad Someone very nearly almost sat at my table last week. It's a scary thing, and one that more and more of us will have to face soon enough.

MiaCulper · 02/04/2013 21:38

Dammit, Sue, your absence hasn't slowed your typing down any, has it?

Did you know you've still got your Christmas hoverererer on?

I don't think the OP will come back now, chaise a bit too longue in the tooth for all this nonsense

SuePurblybilt · 02/04/2013 21:40

I do, but I like it. The old hoverererer just denies having purple labia.

That damned women in the coffee shop. Upholsting her right to sit with friends and enjoy a coffee and cake banquette near other pewple.

I'm exhausted.

SuePurblybilt · 02/04/2013 21:41

The OP prolly won't come back, and youse should all be ashamed. You Ottoman your own business and not be judging people who need sofas.

MiaCulper · 02/04/2013 21:42

Ooh, I like banquette. Good call.

Nice work Grin

Salmotrutta · 02/04/2013 21:51

Maryz - I really feel you should couch that in more dignified terms.

Let my skills be your bench mark.

SuePurblybilt · 02/04/2013 21:52

Stratters is back I think, I am not. I am not really here Grin. Me or purple labia.
Only for that this OP is genuinely my favourite MN post ever have I ventured into AIBU.

KatieScarlett2833 · 02/04/2013 21:52

Sue has beanbag for a while now Maryz Grin

SuePurblybilt · 02/04/2013 21:53

I most certainly have not. Button(back) your lip, you, or I will throw you dirty looks. Or maybe deck(chair) you, if you're not careful

SadGiantPanda · 02/04/2013 21:56

Ah, OP, that is a very sad hypothetical situation. :( It has made me even sadder. :(

It reminds me of that terrible time when I was sitting in a coffee shop and somebody almost wished extinction upon me. :(
