AIBU to irrationally get the rage about this? My office window looks over a newly refurbished playground, which the primary school next door have permission to use during their lunch break. All above board, it’s a city centre school so they have no outdoor space of their own. Part of the refurbishment was the installation of a really cool swing that can fit about 5-6 kids at a time.
There is a Senior College about a 5-10 minute walk away, and every day all this week three students from this college (around 17-18 yrs old) have totally taken over this swing, and have not let the young kids anywhere near it during their lunch break. I get that it’s probably the college kids lunch break too, but they are nearly adults, and they are blocking a bunch of 7-8 year olds from using the playground equipment! The primary school have teachers and security people there supervising it all, but they’d have no jurisdiction in asking the big kids to get off and let the little kids play.
Anyway, nothing I can do about it of course, but it is really bugging me.
