You never know what might upset a total stranger.
And sometimes, things that we don’t even give a second thought can get another person pretty fired up.
In today’s story, a person got yelled at because of where they decided to eat a quick snack.
Check out what they had to say.
AITA for eating a croissant in a cemetery?
“I had a doctor’s appointment today and they told me to not eat or drink anything before it.
Once I got out, I was starving and pretty thirsty, so I went to a supermarket, grabbed a croissant and a bottle of store brand cola and went to look for somewhere to sit down.
This’ll do!
The nearest spot I could find that wasn’t directly by a busy road was a cemetery.
So I went in, walked to some benches and sat down. I had almost finished eating when a woman, maybe in her 70s, walked past me and asked who I was visiting if I didn’t mind the question.
I said I was just eating somewhere quiet, which surprised her.
Oops…
She then told me that I should be ashamed to be so disrespectful and left. I finished eating and drinking before leaving.
I can see where she was coming from and it’s possible she was grieving and looking for solidarity, but also I was just eating and it was the closest spot.”
