Entitled lady demands to have other customer's table moved away from her at her favorite restaurant: 'I can’t eat while she’s sitting there!'

A gentleman stands opposite a blonde woman in a red dress, who sits at a table at a restaurant.

In every restaurant, there is that one regular customer who seems to think that they own the place.

This lady insisted that she could not even touch her meal until the author seated at the adjacent table was moved. Now, did the author say anything that upset her or interrupted her meal? Was the table unreasonably too close for comfort? Did these two customers somehow know each other beforehand that would otherwise make eating near one another impossible? 

These are all valid questions that might justify her entitlement, but unfortunately for this lady, the answers to all of those questions are no, no, and no.

The truth of the matter is that this was a person who could not stand the fact that the author was seated facing her at his own table. Clearly, this was some sort of pet peeve that she simply could not get over under any circumstances. Keep scrolling below to find out what happened when an unlucky server was called over to handle this conflict.

  • It's understandable that people have preferences when it comes to how they eat a meal. However, the minute you set foot outside of your own home, you are essentially allowing yourself to be subjected to potential circumstances that aren't ideal for you. 

    In other words, if you care so much about not wanting a stranger to face you while you eat, then you shouldn't go to a restaurant because that kind of thing will inevitably happen at some point. The world does not revolve around you, lady, regardless of how many times you have graced this establishment with your unfortunate presence!

  • "Entitled woman at the restaurant told the waitress to move my table because she didn’t like 'people facing her while she eats'"

    This happened today. I was eating alone at a nice little restaurant, just minding my business.

  • The lady sitting directly opposite me suddenly walked up and said, "Can you move? I don't like people facing me while I'm eating." I was like, "Sorry, excuse me?" She said, "Yeah, you heard me right," and repeated it.

  • I just ignored her and continued eating. Next thing, she called the waitress over and said, "Please move this girl's table.

  • Then the lady said to the waitress, "Do you even realize I came in here before her?

  • I'm a regular customer here." The waitress replied, "Then maybe we should move you to face the other way." She hissed and angrily went back to her seat.

  • Beginning-North7202 Wtf is wrong with people? There is a serious breakdown in society and socially acceptable behavior. Oy, the entitlement is absurd. I had a guy last week sitting at a restaurant bar, remove his shirt to eat ribs. Granted, he was still clothed in his white undershirt, but really, was it necessary? No. I managed to eat my ribs without dripping a drop on my shirt. Then, the AH proceeded to take a work call and screamed into the phone for like 20 minutes. It was only him, me two s

I went to the nearest McD's where I was the only white guy in the place. I got a Big Mac Meal and a side of Nuggets, IIRC. A much-needed break, as much as I love Curries and despise fast food. Trouble is, my 'eating a meal in peace' was interrupted by a small local kid who decided to stare at me while I wa
