To the gaggle of entitled middle-aged women who took over my table at Humani-T Cafe while I was trying to read my Toni Morrison novel: At first it was just one of you who asked if she could sit at my table, since the cafe was busy. You hovered over me, and I felt too intimidated to say no. Then you brought your whole cohort and y’all sat so close to me that I felt literally pushed out. It’s been a tough week and I just wanted a little joy with my book. Screw you. — Angry Reader

LOL
You know, I realize this is absolutely a lost cause, but I’m bored so what the hell.
So you live in a city, the nature of which includes a certain density of people. You walk into a trendy business who needs some butts in the seats in order to stay alive. You realize the place is packed, and yet you take an entire table for yourself to read a book because your “feelings” tell you that you’re entitled to be zen and relaxed no matter where in the city you are. So that you insist nobody inundate your bubble, in the middle of this trendy coffee house in downtown Halifax.
And now you’re accusing the other customers of this small business of being “entitled”, because you’re the victim and these middle-aged people need to get their own space.
Is that the reality you want us all to accept?
Think it over.
Didnt realize people were entitled to have entire tables to themselves in busy cafe’s
‘No’ is a tough word for most of us to use.
Or OP could just go to a library and read or just stay home really.
@ Try The Truth. I fucking love you lol.
