Believe it or not, social media personalities really do exist in the real world. Unfortunately, they can be even more infuriating in person. Sure, when you're dining in a restaurant or sitting in a public place, you might come across a chronically online individual who just has to start taking selfies and staging a disruptive impromptu photography session. However, even if this individual is in a spot that is adjacent to yours, hopefully, they're not invading your space. 

This influencer made the egregious error of asking the wrong coffee shop patron to move. Evidently, the patron was sitting in a cool window seat at the establishment that had recently gone viral for its immaculate views. Well, the influencer clearly couldn't pass up the photo opportunity and decided to seek out this coffee shop in order to make it happen. Of course, she didn't actually buy anything or contribute to the local business in any way. Instead, she saw the loyal patron in her desired seat and tried to make him move. Let's just say that conversation didn't exactly go according to plan.

  • The least this lady could have done was purchase a coffee to support the business before taking advantage of this precious window spot. That behavior is almost just as entitled as trying to get the author to move over to another spot. Thankfully, he knew he wasn't going to cave to this entitled social media personality. After all, it's not like she contributes much to society…

    Last weekend I was reading at a small coffee shop that recently went viral for its aesthetic window seat. I got there early, ordered my drink, and settled in.

    I told her I was staying. She got annoyed and called me selfish before hovering by the counter for 20 minutes waiting for another window seat. Nothing opened up, and they left without even buying anything.

    Later, the barista gave me a cookie and said I handled it better than most. Apparently this happens all the time now. Influencer culture is wild.
