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...

We were at a national trust cafe when I'd popped to get something else from the counter, leaving my son at the table. I can back to see a bloke piling stuff on our table! I gave him a massive earful. I didn't think he'd have dared to do it if I was sat there but perhaps I was wrong!

Someone once did that to me on a plane, moved his stuff, or some of it anyway, from the meal onto mine. I promptly moved it back. He was bit .

I'm asking myself the exact same question.

to you too glitterati. I haven't looked at Mail Online since Friday though I bought a hard copy on Saturday for the excellent TV guide and sound political and social views that come wrapped around it.

I just have a bee in my bonnet about people asking why Mail Online pick up MN threads and always respond. They do it because they are interesting and they can

onto my table.

I would have attempted to put them on the table but slipped and they would have landed on her lap. Sometimes in comes in handy being a doddrey old women. Or I would have put them on her table saying sorry I left my dishwasher at home, with a sweet smile, as I am a sweet old lady. Never be scared of standing up for yourself, I was in the past not any more.

[grin}

dh and me are amazed at you. well done! how rude of the person to do that in the first place.

I had this, I managed to get my whits about me, & as she was about to plonk plates down. I looked her, with the glare of Beelzebub, & said, loudly "Don't".
She hovered & then took them to another table.....& subsequently did not return to the table next to us.... Cow.

whits ?!

hilarious mix.

Salmon chinos!!! Dear lord.....may the fleas of a thousand camels infest their armpits.

I got as far as 'salmon chinos' and my little brain shut down.

I've never seen salmon chinos.

Photos next time, OP.

Beggars belief the things people do.

Bloody hell - chill out everyone - the tone of a lot of these threads on MN is so aggressive! I agree that this incident must have been annoying....people can be utterly rude & thoughtless at times - but it's really not worth getting so upset about! Life is too short

Wtf? You definitely should have said, "Err, do you mind? I don't want those either." Unfortunately, life has a habit of always taking us by surprise, so rude pillocks like that get away with things, while we sit open mouthed, and lost for words.

Just read your later post. Glad you did shift them back. Would love to have seen her face.

Vickytoria - if we only ever posted about things that are truly serious and worthy of being upset about (in your view), MN would be quieter than the Marie Celeste!

It isn't world famine, but it was a bloody cheeky incident, and it is pleasing to hear how well the OP dealt with it.

And why bother commenting on a thread that you deem so unimportant? Perhaps you should go and find the Properly Important subjects to comment on, and stop being a fun sucker on a thread that the rest of us are enjoying.

The Dail Fail? You are joking.

Oh FFS... You're not joking. Are they absolute morons? Seriously, have they nothing better to write about?
I hate the Daily Mail.

Well done OP 😊

This reminds me of a time I was having a snack with my mum and two very young children. My kids were playing in a play area at the side of our table, we had eaten our snacks when an elderly couple came and sat at our table and took my children's seats. My mum and I were a little taken aback but nevertheless I let th remain as a mark of respect and since my kids were not using the seats, I said nothing. After a few seconds the lady called the waitress over to clear my kids dishes and complained about the mess they had made.(it wasn't too bad, just normal). I then took exception and they began telling me how disgusting we left it and were extremely rude. Unbelievable!

I love your style,BEZZA1944. Especially if there had been a partially full coffee and tea pot, jam in summer, oooo, brain in overdrive...
I too, have been known to be terribly clumsy sometimes, particularly with other people's jackets/handbags, their new purchases (especially), obligatory latest model with all the bling, mobile phone, etc.
Oddly enough it, seems to attract total morons, and their sugar daddies who instantly decide that I don't have any of my own mental faculties because I'm in a wheelchair, and they plonk a tray of plates, from their table to mine!

Now whilst I'm sat at my table, my mentally agile brain quickly adjusts the degree of clumsiness to be inflicted upon these poor ignorant beings, upon on a variety of vast algorithms of factors; 'have they starred at me patronisingly whilst I wheel in, in my wheelchair', with two young children in tow', obviously thinking ''ffs, how did hell she get pregnant?'(you can see the thought processes posivitely grinding in their eyes, working it out in their own dreary brain)', "well, she's obviously mentally disabled", etc, and put their items on my table. They've obviously miscalculated this particular woman, by a very long way... I pick up said tray, nifty placing any other items onto their tray on too, so the tray is now looking totally and utterly precarious. Smiling, I tell them, looking straight into the offenders eyes, that they've obviously not noticed that this table is now actually occupied, and pass said tray very precariously, over their laps, but for some reason, I always have an odd spam or sudden intense shooting pain, down into my hand. The embarrassed party leave, knowing full well what they've done. They've seriously underestimated my extremely adept skills as a wheelchair user.

They've 'upset what was meant to be a nice normal day out just for us'. We guys don't mind if you can help us. But please, don't
make sumptions as to how I got pregnant! I may be disabled, but we conceived our children like most other people... No karma sutra, chandeliers and anything wacky. Yes, people have actually had the audacity to ask me!🙄
