How would you feel/react if ..

..you were seated at the counter of an extremely busy coffee shop, had ordered, already been served soup/salad, your full meal had arrived, you were eating it, and literally with your fork about to enter your mouth, the guy two seats to the right of you asks both you and the guy to your right to get up and move all of your food, drink, utensils, etc down to free up a seat for his GF. I have happily moved when my order hadn't been taken, when I just had a soda, or even just salad. But I have never had anyone be as tacky as to ask me (and another party as well) to move *in the middle of a meal.* I certainly gave him a LOOK, and it was not a happy one. Then he went all p i s s y with a loud "oh, WELL, if it's too much TROUBLE, then never mind." I did move, but I thought his request at the stage of the meals was tacky and rude. He went on to be loudly self-important with the server as well. What do you think?

Once I committed to giving him ""the look"" instead of moving I would most certainly not have moved after he made that comment. All that did was empower him to intimidate or embarrass someone else next time he wanted his way.

I would have moved, as well.

I would have moved. I've been in the situation that guy was in with a friend/sister who was hoping to sit next to me, and I've never had anyone not do it. Of course I thanked them and mentioned how appreciative I was.

I would have smiled and moved down one.
