I'm only mentioning his wheelchair because I guess it's relevant to how people responded to him.
We were in a small cafe in a park late yesterday pm waiting for some child friendly 'fireworks' - it was a laser show thing.
Me my DM and DD got there really early and got a hot drink. A man came in, in a wheelchair that he was maneuvering himself by using his foot.
From a brief chat we had with him it seemed like he could have had something like cereal palsy but obviously I don't know.
When a BBQ gazebo area was set up outside, he left his takeaway drink on the table and went outside. The cafe started to get really busy and a group of people, several mums with about 6 children took the table next to 'his'.
Anyway he comes back in and shouts to the women to move his table back and away from the children as he was saying his drink would get spilled.
The mums were shocked at the outburst but moved the table away for him anyway.
I wouldn't have bothered posting but he did it about another 3 times to other people who dared to sit at his table. Even though he was outside, so it was a 'free' table. He wasn't even particularly nice about it but I noticed people were really quick to move even if their children had just sat down. Should they have? I felt annoyed on their behalf and felt he was being quite rude.
AIBU?
Was the man in the wheelchair BU?

cheersIt's a very mean person who won't stand back a bit so someone who is seated can sit, not stand, in front of them to see something.
It reminds me of a time when I went to see Gary Barlow in concert. I was in the disabled seats, with DH, next to me. There were about a dozen disabled people and their carers all sat down.
He came on stage, the people in front of us, but down a bit, all stood up and all we could see was their backsides. The man next to me tapped one woman on the shoulder and said "could you sit down, please?"pointing out our situation behind. She told him to fuck off. About 4 woman all turned round and told us to get fucked! 
The man went to see one of the stewards who told us she wouldn't be asking them to sit down because Gary Barlow had requested that if people wanted to stand they were allowed to.
They moved those of us who could walk a little bit, and manage a few stairs, but those who were in wheelchairs were left looking at the arses of the sweary women all night!
Who knew that multiple people are dim enough to not realise that fireworks are usually in the sky not at the front?! 
LOL at "he obviously didn't need it". What the actual fuck, are people really that ignorant?!
why should they stand behind someone in a huge mobility scooter that obviously didnt need it
Sorry, you didn't mention that you were his consultant.
