Dude, seriously, what the fuck? I got to the cafe at 8 fucking am to do my homework, when there weren’t barely any people there. The tables here are so fucking small that I could bare fit all my stuff on just one, that’s why I decided that it would be okay to take another table, instead of having all my books and computer crammed on one tiny little table. I was listening to music when you came in on your coffee brake, and had my head down focusing on my homework, so excuse me for not immediately noticing that you wanted one of the tables I was using. It’s not like it was the only table available, since you obviously got to sit down at another one.
Since apparently you don’t know, I CAN’T FUCKING READ YOUR GOD-DAMNED MIND, so how about next time you need one of the tables or chairs that someone else is using, just FUCKING ASK THEM if you could have them, instead of sitting there like a little bitch boy and steam during your whole stay. I would have been more than happy to move my stuff for you, as I have done for other people who ASKED ME on other occasions.
And it was oh so courageous the way you asked me if it bothered me to take up two tables and three chairs while other people were trying to find a table to sit down at, before heading for the door like your fucking ass was on fire and not even give me a chance to reply. Your friends must think you’re so brave, taking on a teenage girl the way you did. You’re a passive aggressive little cunt, and I would tell you this to your face if you were still around. —Go Suck a Giant Camel Dick

2 tables and 3 chairs…..sounds like that chick was FAT
“that’s why I decided that it would be okay to take another table”
is it store policy?
or are you the manager/owner?
I don’t think you get to decide that…
perhaps if you hadn’t hogged all the space as if it were your living room, people wouldn’t be so hostile to you.
That said, I think it’s akin to putting your bookbag on the seat beside you on the bus…
you’re an asshole for doing it but they really should speak up to keep the assholes in line.
So, you’re either paying rent for an apartment or paying residence fees. On top of that, your tuition fees (which I’m sure you tell everybody who will listen are WAAAAAAY Too high) go to underwrite libraries and study areas all over the campus.
But NOOOOOOOOO! You do your studying in a cafe, because it looks just Oh,So Collegiate. You “Occupy” a place of business, but being a reasonable person, you’ll “Share” the tables if somebody asks you nicely.
3 words for you this Xmas. Mr. Thomas, if you please….
Coffee BRAKE? You’re an idiot! No gold star for you on the Christmas Exams ……
Yo, Princess.
This isn’t Home, where mommy and daddums think everything their little squeeeee does is a precious and unique snowflake. Cool?
One chair. One table.
Fucking SET.

Oh, I also wanted to point out it sounds like “it” bothers you.
So,OP; clearly you were perfectly aware that this person was annoyed over the fact that you didn’t move your stuff when he sat down at the second table you were occupying, and you enjoyed his squirming…which makes you an arrogant little prick. If I were him I’d have accidentally knocked over my cup of coffee over your stuff and then looked at you with a smile and an “oooops!”
I bet you thought you looked oh-so-intellectual sitting there with all your open books. As if you even needed all that stuff spread out on the table: I’d say it was more of a belated Halloween costume of “Let’s see how smart I look with all these school papers spread before me!”
Try for less posing and more studying, ok OP? Maybe then you’ll finally absorb the basic rules of being polite.
Hmmmm…..HOME-work….kinda self explanatory, don’t ya think?
There is a place called the Library. And they offer big areas for you to do all this stuff. Oh and they allow you to bring in coffee. Has it ever crossed your mind to get your coffee then go to the library?
It’s a fucking cafe not your fucking library. It is there for customers to order, eat, and leave. What the fuck is wrong doing your homework at HOME. You need a coofee with your homework then get one and take it the fuck to HOME to do your HOMEWORK.
What a self-entitled twat.
This is a problem in all cafes around here — you go in for a drink with a friend and you can’t get a damn seat because some idiot student’s sitting there hogging all the tables with an empty cup sitting beside them.
I’m all for studying in cafes — IF you’re patronizing said cafe and once you’re done your drink, you’re not patronizing them anymore.
So pack up your shit and move the hell out.
But, this is done by more than just students. Once donarious and I were in a cafe looking for a place to sit down. All filled with students or people reading (all of which had no drink left) — so we sat down at a six-person table that this one guy reading was sitting at. He looked at us like we had committed a crime and said “I’M SITTING HERE!”…… so donarious said “you using these chairs? no? Alright then.”
Sounds like you knew you were being aggravating and you were just waiting for someone to be upset so it looked like it was the others persons fault and you were just the poor victim that would have moved his books if asked. You shouldn’t have to be asked.
I think it is important when you see people that are upset or easily on the edge to wonder why. What is going on in their lives that has made them let some little ass in a coffee shop upset them. Maybe they have a sick parent or a sick child they are worried about, while they have to go to work. You never know what was going wrong in that person’s life today and you OP just made it worse. Congratulations! Think of other people OP and stop being an ass by trying to look like the innocent victim.
I agree, Robyn — OB shouldn’t’ve had to been asked.
Perhaps the tables are small because, oh, maybe they weren’t designed to be work spaces?
… as silly as that may seem.
Survivor does homework?
Wow PK, four out of three people liked your first post.
A bitch by the perpetrator of the inconvenience against the victim?
You get there early because the cafe is nearly empty okay but once patrons start to fill the place you should vamoose your caboose. It’s called consideration for others. Strange concept especially this time of the year, isn’t it?
Ummmmmmmmmm don’t you all know that Macbooks only work while in a Starbucks? GAWD I thought everyone knew this.
3 chairs +2 tables?? Wouldn’t it be better instead to grab a coffee and snack and take studies to a bigger place like a library? Cafe tables are not your dorm room.
OP, welcome to reality. Where you slowly realize what an entitled bitch you are and adjust your idiocy accordingly.
yes and i’m glad someone pointed it out. Clearly you shouldn’t be doing your homework in a coffee shop. You’re too busy trying to look like a retarded hipster and not enough time learning to spell.
Face.
Hay guys, I think OB’s in high school.
They refer to things like “homework” and “teenager….”
And exams are on the go right now at the universities, so I doubt any uni student would have “homework” (which no uni student calls schoolwork anymore).
That’s the thing about high school girls, man. I keep getting older, and they stay the same age.
Why did I write this?
Can anyone tell me why the fuck coffee houses in this city are treated like libraries? I’m so sick and tired of going for a coffee and not being able to find a seat because some yahoo thinks they should be able to spend all day there on their freak laptop. Buy a fucking coffee machine and do your work at home.
OB, “No, it doesn’t fucking bother me” … perhaps it should.
You’re using a place of business as your study space … a change of scenery is sometimes good, I get it … and obviously the management didn’t have a problem or they would have asked you to leave or move your things. It may not have been busy at 8am, but at least have the courtesy to be aware of your surroundings and move your belongings if business picks up … at which time the staff who are busy serving customers may not have an opportunity to come and ask you to move your things.
So you didn’t share a telepathic connection with the other customer you inconvenienced … but if you were considerate of others, he wouldn’t have found it necessary to speak to you. Take the innocent little girl card that you played and put it away … get over the embarrassment of being called out on your selfish actions in public, and realize that you were in the wrong here.
Purchasing one drink doesn’t entitle you to sit there all day. You’re loitering, plain and simple.
If you want to sit there and do your studying or your homework, then please, realize that one drink purchase entitles you to the use of one table and one chair for half an hour at most!
All I have to say is. Who the fuck takes up two tables when they are one person. Have you not heard of chairs? They too have horizontal surfaces on which you may place items! And why the hell if you had like 10 books and laptop do you have to pick the cafe with tiny tables? Just…I don’t even know.
Fuck these people. That guy was a dick. Studying at coffee shops is great.
