Middle aged lady demanded seat while 90% was still free
So this happened to me a few hours ago. I was waiting for a ferry, while my family explored the surrounding area. Because we needed to take the bus we arrived 2 hours early, so we were nearly the first to arrive, so almost no benches (there were no single seats) were taken, so we decided to take the bench closest to the gates to the ferry. My family decided to look around a little bit so I stayed behind on the bench with our whole luggage (6 persons).
Like 5 minutes after my family left a group of 4 arrived, an elderly man and the lady from the title and two others. This lady first asked me, if I was sitting there alone (mind you, 90% of the benches, there were like 20 of them, were still free). I said, I'm waiting here for the rest of my family, so technically I'm sitting here alone for the time being and she demanded I remove the luggage and take another bench because the elderly man had to sit. And ok, the man looked like he really needed to sit and I would have gladly stood up or removed the luggage from the bench if there were no other options to sit down available. But nearly every other bench was still free and the man also had a rollator, where he also could've sat down, so there really was no need to even talk to me in the first place. I guess my bench was the closest to the exit, so I think that's why they wanted to sit there.
Anyway she argued her father really needed to sit down and after a short period of arguing I was annoyed and removed some luggage from the bench, so that the elderly could sit down, but I didn't chose another bench and I also didn't make enough space for the other 3 to sit down (I was mildly infuriated at that point, but I thought its not worth the effort to argue more with this entitled lady).
After that, the woman and the two others decided to wait, standing exactly before me, looking at me from time to time, while mostly all other benches were still free and the ferry was like 1:30 h away from opening the gates.
Anyway sometime later my family returned and sat down, while the woman was still glancing at us. I thought that was it, but 20 minutes before the gates opened those 4 including the elderly man decided they were still not close enough to the gate, so all of them moved directly in front of the gate and the elderly man sat down on his rollator. So why was there any need to bother me in the first place and arguing with me? I still can't understand it.
If there are any mistakes excuse me, English is not my first language 🙃
Edit: I just want to say, because some people seem to misunderstand, I don't have any problem with an elderly needing to sit down. My problem lies completely with the lady.
