To think that the baby on the table next to me in the cafe is being very unreasonable?

Said baby is sat facing me, separated by a glass panel. I am innocently trying to get on with some mindless scrolling on MN, but every time I dare to turn my attention away from him for a moment, he starts frantically waving at me to get my attention back. Then beams in delight when he manages to get my attention. He's doing it again right now!

AIBU to think that the baby is BVU to disrupt my peaceful time-wasting on MN?

He is ridiculously cute, and I also think it's pretty unreasonable to be that cute.

Are you a young man with a fine moustache? Cos my youngest was grizzly and we thought we'd have to leave our cakes half eaten till he sat down at the next table and the baby was instantly drawn to him and giggled for a solid 20 minutes.

Lol, no. I'm a middle aged woman who does my very best not to have a moustache! But I'm glad that your baby found someone to entertain him and I'm sure that the pleasure was reciprocated!

I feel your pain.

I have a similar issue with a cute toddler in a pushchair who I pass every morning. She will insist on giving me a big smile and waving hello. Every. Single. Day.

To make it worse, her mother and I have started exchanging a cheerful "good morning". Why are we not avoiding eye contact and ignoring each other? Why is the charming little girl not glued to her mum's phone?

Society is going to the dogs.

Daily unreasonableness... what is the world coming to?!

@Spidey66 I agree. Giggles are the worst.
