Who is "snarking" at the OP? ${#emotions_dlg.confused1}$

Question was asked, posters responded.

Questions were asked of the OP to clarify - mine was about the # of seats

I only see some in-fighting with others that have nothing to do with the topic.

And those posts should go away.

I JUST took the O.P's advice and read the WHOLE thread...

Sorry, but most of the "snarky" responses were hers directed at posters with differing views...

I wasn't speaking of anyone in particular. I just noticed some were coming down pretty hard on the OP. I think the OP did exactly what you would have done actually; yet, she is being shamed for her feelings.

uh no, you've got that wrong., She is not being shamed, she has stated that she couldn't care less about rude people or what anyone thought of her. You can't shame people who don't care what you think of them. She remarked that since they were 3-4 other places to eat in the area, they should just go there. If anything, she seems proud of herself for sticking up for her principles and once she got some support from other posters, actually got even more proud of her behavior.

I'm done with P.C. Just say what you mean and mean what you say. It's easier.

For those who are clueless concerning manners I'll try to explain. It's rude to put people on the spot to do something they would rather not do. In this case he disturbed someone who was trying to enjoy her meal. She didn't want to move but felt presured to do so.If a person is willing to move it's up to them to offer, asking is rude. The same goes for asking to cut in line, it's fine for someone to offer but rude to ask.

Sorry, but she was eating at a lunch counter. That's more informal than a sit down restaurant. It's more like being in a bar, where people move down to accommodate couples or groups all the time.

It's just good use of space to move over and let the couple sit together.

If the OP doesn't like crowded places, perhaps she would be more comfortable eating at her desk...or waiting for a table.

What has happened in this thread is that I, the OP, have responded with clarifications, and have not "accepted my shame and punishment" that is the usual whenever anyone posts in Viewpoints. I haven't been sufficiently humble about being told off by my betters. I didn't shut up and go away when responded to by the cool kids.

I do not mind and am not afraid of differing opinions. Deliberate snark and attitude or rudeness, I do not "have" to take silently, and I have not. I also don't "have" to be ashamed of my reactions to the situation in the restaurant. Quite a few have stated they would do the same. I own my reaction, and I'm not shamed or ashamed of it. Just because a few people hope to see me fade away or crumble doesn't mean I will.

Perhaps the clod who insisted on her moving should have waited for a table.

You're making generalizations that aren't accurate. You're assuming that no one would want to move. You're assuming everyone would rather NOT move. Based on this thread, that's incorrect. I would be fine with moving as would lots of other people here.

Gee no sense of humor around here. But it's ok for some to accuse others of having no manners and throw other assorted insults.

(My post was removed).

I laughed.
