I don’t know why I’m doing this lol because I’m probably going to be bashed and battered but here we go lol.

Was in a coffee shop, a lady with an empty pushchair was taking up half the aisle in the queue where all the sandwiches were - she was at the end and empty push chair. My boyfriend and I were clearly looking for food, I moved around her pushchair and looked but boyf couldn’t because he had our son in a pushchair behind it - she definitely noticed us. She moved further along to the till to order and pay but left said empty pushchair where is was so no one could move forward. I moved the pushchair up the queue so my Boyf could get a sandwich. This woman went mental - turned round and snapped ‘I was gonna move it’ to which I said ok, but you didn’t so I just pushed it forward so we could look at food (she was busy ordering/talking by this point so I didn’t see the point in interrupting). She then told me I was very rude and she was very angry - he husband joined her and to told me I was very rude and I should have asked.

I stuck up for myself and in all honesty by the end he looked pretty embarrassed when he realised what had actually happened.

Was I being rude and unreasonable moving the empty pushchair a little? I feel like actually she was pretty rude?

Why on Earth did she even have the empty pushchair in the queue anyway? She should have left it with her husband. YANBU. She should have moved it in the first place. Obviously she is very selfish.

If someone moved mine I wouldn't go crazy but I wouldn't be happy at all either because i keep mine as free from cocid as possible and i dont know you. It would just require please can I get in to look at the sandwiches. On the other hand I would never leave mine alone

This doesn’t seem rational to me tbh. You can’t protect from covid in a busy environment like that just by someone touching your pushchair. Not to mention it’s everywhere and also not the risk it once was.

Some people are asking why she has an empty chair. When her DH came back he was carrying their child, must have it popped somewhere with them quickly.
