Went to see Christmas show last week, really looking forward to it. Spent most of the night looking at this! I'm only small and am used to restricted views but give me a fighting chance! AIBU to have wanted to swipe bloody hat off ladies head!? :-)

Sorry had to laugh at that picture!Grin
You should have asked her to take it off nicely explaining you couldn’t see!

We went to the Panto last night spent a fortune on tickets only to have a child about 4 years old non stop scream and shout throughout in front of us who did not sit in her seat the entire night. She was also given a light up wand that was in my eye line the whole evening and also whacked the man in fronts head god knows how many times! Parents and grandparents did nothing!!! Angry

There is no need to keep a hat like that on inside. Very inconsiderate of her. You should have asked her to take it off and explained you couldn't see past it. Of course she might have said no but you should have at least tried.

What a twat

MidnightCircus · 15/12/2019 14:59

That's a horrible hat. And a horrible hat wearer

BritWifeinUSA · 15/12/2019 15:01

Was it indoors? Why would you keep a hat like that on indoors?

HundredMilesAnHour · 15/12/2019 15:01

my friends and I did say....got utterly ignored

Wow, that's extra rude. Although to be honest, her head rather than the hat looks like the problem in your photo so even if she'd had some common decency, your view would have been pretty dire.

slipperywhensparticus · 15/12/2019 15:01

Seriously? Does no one take hats off indoors anymore? I bet she drove there too

Nannewnannew · 15/12/2019 15:03

For goodness sake. What on Earth is wrong with people these days?
So selfish and entitled, yanbu to swipe the hat off her head! 😤

whatiswrongwithmee · 15/12/2019 15:03

I recon she's in disguise

tmh88 · 15/12/2019 15:34

I once kept my hat like that on in a bar and was asked to take it off and refused.. I went on a date and did a bad box dye before I left Blush although she’s probably just being rude Grin

NeutralJanet · 15/12/2019 15:44

Last time I went to the theatre the woman in front had styled her hair in one of those massive, top of the head buns. Very annoying and inconsiderate but you can't exactly ask someone to restyle their hair.

GrumpyHoonMain · 15/12/2019 15:46

You could have asked security to step in and demand she take her hat off.

BerwickLad · 15/12/2019 15:47

Agree that the buns are worse especially on blokes because they tend to be taller. But yeah who tf wears a hat indoors, apart from Mrs Brady Old Lady?

FaFoutis · 15/12/2019 15:52

I bet pom pom woman has her toes pointed inwards too. The wanker.

VenusTiger · 15/12/2019 16:04

Firstly, wtf is she tightly wrapped in a coat and a (stupid) hat indoors!!! Secondly, I HATE real fur and the vast majority of these hats have real fur pom poms, even when they are advertised as faux - my mil bought me a feather pom pom hat last year and I refuse to wear it.

LoonyLunaLoo · 15/12/2019 16:08

I’d have asked an usher to get her to remove it.

It wasn't even particularly cold, it was inside ...glad the consensus seems to be she was an arse!

I am not a fan of adults in bobble hats at all and those hairy bollock style bobble hats are even worse

hairy bollock style bobble hats
Grin

I always think that when I see them. Grin

Greenglassteacup · 15/12/2019 18:18

Vile aren’t they. Also the hairy bollock bag attachments, revolting

FaFoutis · 15/12/2019 18:20

They make me think of that big cup the small woman has on 'Miranda'. Massive bobble: little me.

Newbie1981 · 15/12/2019 18:21

Some people have no clue, such a strange thing to do

dontgobaconmyheart · 15/12/2019 18:22

You told her it was preventing you viewing the stage and she wouldn't remove it? Confused. If so that's bloody weird and rufe- maybe she hadn't washed her hair in ages OP and couldn't bear the thought GrinCrown Blush. Hopefully she'll see herself on here and realise she was a dick.

I would have grabbed an usher though, or shown her the photo and pointed out my view.
