Just come back from a lovely school picnic in honour of Jo Cox.
It seems that at event after event (plays, concerts, picnics) this same thing keeps on happening.
It's about viewing etiquette. (All four things happened yesterday while I was trying to see my DD sing with he ks1 choir)
That you;
A) Don't push to the front with your toddler on hip and walk back and forth in front of the choir so the 'baby can see' (yes your baby can see, but no one else can- how about standing at the side at the front or stand stil?)
B) push to the front and stand up with your iPad blocking all the people sitting behind you
C) laugh and chat loudly with your friends because your child in ks2 choir finished singing 10 mins ago (this one in particularly pissed me off because some of the children were reception age and were clearly nervous
D) if you are a 6'5 man standing where people couldn't get a seat, don't stand right at the front where everybody else can't see.
It seems to happen every event. At dds nativity a mum sat on the front row with her parka hood up then tutted at my mum who was sat behind when she asked her to put it down so people could see past
