To think this family are twat travellers

[twiney]

Crowded airport.

All restaurants rammed.

I see there's one brasserie style place, also busy, 5 seats at the bar and 2 tables left.

I queue to get food and plan on sitting at the bar. Just as I'm collecting my change two girls appear, running to the bar seats and laughing. Then their mum and dad appear and say "well done Sophie!"

AIBU to think if you're a family you leave the bar seats to solo travellers? The whole point is sitting at the bar is less conspicuous. And also if you take up a table as a solo traveller you often get asked if you mind sharing when a group/family arrives, understandably.

Just think its quite selfish!

Never in a million years would I sit on a bar stool if there was a table available. I'll be at the table on my phone or reading and with the other seats at the table freely available for others.

Just because you prefer to sit at the bar, OP, you really can't expect every solo traveller to feel the same.

Solo traveller here, who hates sitting at the bar with a passion. See, the world is varied...
