A woman has told me off for yawning in IKEA?!

[itsBritneyBeach]

There I am, wandering around the plant section with my friend. I'm knackered today, having had 2 hours sleep, and I yawned with my hand over my mouth, not making a noise.

A lady was opposite me in the aisle and came over with her big trolly and said to me "other people are shopping here, you know"

I thought I was blocking something she wanted to get to and said "oh sorry I'll move" and I did move, to which she replied "no for gods sake, I meant about the yawning. Can you not save that for at home"

I laughed, she tutted at her husband/partner/male friend and then they both flounced away!

So, AIBU for yawning discreetly in IKEA?

It's the height of indiscretion, I mean really, how could you ?!

Err hello?? Are you me?

How DARE you! 😂

People are SO WEIRD

What?! Some people are strange! If it was unreasonable to yawn outside the home, I’d literally never leave! Not only am I tired a lot but I am terrible for infectious yawning! Even reading and replying has made me yawn multiple times!

YANBU, she sounds batshit. I think the heat sends people a bit bonkers. I had a guy come in at work shout at me, apoplectic with rage, and then threated to sue us for politely informing him we couldn’t have children in the venue at the time he arrived. Crazy.

Dirty bastard

Yes, YABU.

That's what the beds are for. Duh!

Are you seriously supposed to wait til you get home?! You should of farted in response, preferably to a tune 😮

Weird. Some people have strange opinions! I knew someone who thinks you shouldn't sneeze or blow your nose in public!

I wanna hear her side
‘She wasn’t just yawning, she farted on the pillowcases and a bit of shit came out when she was midyawn’

You selfish cow 😂😂😂😂

Was you silent yawning while naked?

Save it for home ffs, what a thing to say!

IKEA really does bring out the batshit in people doesn't it.

Where do people on mumsnet find these people?!? I've never had this kind of thing happen to me even if I was doing something actually rude.

I love your username !

I mean obviously IKEA ...

You scoundrel you!
I was in Ikea today too, if it was the same one and I had heard I would have joined you in laughing too, how bizarre some folk are.

How so very Dare You?!

Don't you know yawning is something that only certain people do?

She's insane.

What a nutter! I can see the point if you were sneezing all over food or something, yawning is not a private activity, especially if you cover your mouth. I'm the type of person that wishes people would blow their nose in the bathroom as well.

@AlonsoTigerHeart I'm deeply ashamed of myself 

@sparklepops123 I couldn't bring myself to snap and fart, even in a tune!

@Sheldonoscopy how the fuck did you see through my side of the story?!

@stopfuckingshoutingatme thank you, and you! I should have used it when I got brutally attacked in IKEA

I'm guessing you didn't cover your mouth. People seem to have stopped doing that these days.

😑😂
