Woman moving dirty plates onto MY table...

[elodie2000]

In cafe today (with friend) sat at one side of a table for 4.
There was another table for 4 next to us which had plates/ wrappers/ teacups on it waiting to be cleared.
A woman and her DH came along and cleared the stuff off the table next to us onto the side of ours before sitting down.
AIBU to think WTF? They had a nice clean table for 4 between the two of them and we aquired a load of dirty plates next to us.
was I wrong to get up and put it all back on their table?
Still cross now...

I live in SW London - Red Trouser/Mustard Cord Central Tapandgo

Don't let anyone get away with this kind of entitled rudeness. I would have put the plates back on her table............only if she didn't look rough!

I would have fumed in silence - we'll do you. I know - I'm pathetic😳☕️

Off topic, but am I the only one with this song going round and round in my head?

Salmon-chino evening, you may see a stranger, you mat see a stranger across a crowded cafe table.....

No you were right to put them back on the table. A "what the fuck are you doing?" would not have been out of place either!

STGD

I am now!

Why is this thread in The Daily Fail?! Honestly, it's getting ridiculous.
Stop all news and let's report about dirty plates being put onto tables...

I noticed that too gltterazi .

Why is this thread in The Daily Fail?!

Is it? I haven't been monitoring it. Why shouldn't it be?

Well done unfeckinbelievable she did this.

Why shouldn't it be?

It can be for all I care, I'm just saying it's getting ridiculous. Slow news day? Trawl parenting forums for dirty plates being moved shocker....

Because actual journalism takes either work or talent or both. Grabbing Mumsnet threads is free, zero effort, and effective clickbait for their ads as all the Mumsnetters click across to view it.

I hope people have Adblock installed before they visit that site. Otherwise you're paying their wages. And for their owner's alleged tax exile.

Mail Online's news agenda has a very fast turnover because it is 24 hours and also has a massive US readership therefore it's never a slow news day and the space is infinite. The beast always has to be fed.

How did you manage to stumble across this thread on it btw?

Why not just ask the assistant to clear the table, thats what i usually do! Or if theres an empty table i move the stuff there only if no one is sitting there, wouldnt dream of moving the plates onto a table where people are actually sat!

She was obviously just pig shit ignorant. I despair for humanity at times, how can people be so inherently unaware?

How did you manage to stumble across this thread on it btw?

Sorry, thick moment. How do you mean? I read the thread earlier this week as I spend far too much time on here then saw it on there and recognised it.

That happened to me too once, however karma stepped in. The offender was carrying her tray back and then managed to spill a whole cup of hot chocolate all over herself.

Oh how we laughed!

Yes and kind of yes. There is a bit of effort involved in identifying likely threads. You wouldn't last long at Mail Online if you presented your editor with a review of pushchairs.

I'm a journalist, it doesn't bother me. Why does it bother you?

This is why I always carry a pair of marigolds, a collapsible washing up bowl ,a bottle of fairy liquid and a tea towel. nothing like a cheery do you want to wash or dry to put the entitled firmly back in their place. Which incidentally , is in the wrong.

double cheers to you op for standing up to the plate dumper.

So you read Mail Online glitterazi? Why do you do that?

Go you! Sort of thing most people think of afterwards!
What a cheeky cow!! Xx

I'm asking myself the exact same question.

You should have tipped the leftovers onto his lap to conceal the travesty that is salmon chinos.

Someone tried putting an empty coffee cup onto my table once, while I was sat in a cafe with newborn DS1. It didn't even hit the table before I growled "do you mind?!" I must have looked fucking terrifying in my sleep deprived state, since she did a rapid about face and took it straight to the counter instead cheeky cow.

Love it, well done you! Cheeky biatch!

They wouldn't have got the chance. They would have got a gobful before the plate touched the table!
