Just come back from lunch that was spoiled by a rude pair of women, classic white trash types...I was waiting for a table to become available at my local cafe, obviously standing there waiting when one became free and I moved in to be blocked by these women who'd been sitting at this breakfast bar/high table contraption and already had been sitting, unlike myself.
I said I'd been waiting for the able to come free, they said they'd been waiting before me (weird cos they were in the queue before me and had only just sat down, and didn't seem to make a move when these other people made the table free).
She then said something along the lines of 'not my problem' or 'tough luck' and sat down, and then preceded to shriek their chavvy conversation at high volume. I then had to sit on said breakfast bar contraption until a table became free, fuming.
I really wish I had a camera for those moments so I can name and shame them...not only for the horror when these rude people realise what I'm going to do with their picture...I think there should be a website, AvoidTheseRudePeople.com or something.
It's not the first time recently...I was taught to be polite so back off, but really - should I stand my ground and be rude back, or wait til one day I go Falling Down postal? Some people really do take the piss.

One of these women was like that...fake tan, dodgy skin, the lot.
