An image of a note left in a busy public park has been going viral on the internet after someone posted it on the Mildly Infuriating subreddit three days ago. The caption indicated that the note was left in a “busy public park on a hot Saturday/Labor Day weekend.”

The author added: “Seems super entitled. Park has been open for 4 hours and no sign of them. All the other tables are full.” Turns out the note was left by the parents of a four-year-old who ‘reserved’ three tables for their child’s birthday party.

Understandably, the note caused quite a stir on social media, prompting people to debate on entitled behavior and arrogance in busy public spaces. Scroll down and share what you think of this situation in the comments below!

I'll bet you a dollar that the folks who don't see a problem with it are just the kind of people who would do such a thing.

Exactly! And if they went to a public park and every table was being held for one reason or another, they would be issed off.

It's public space, you do not get to reserve it, and to use emotional manipulation, saying " you'll ruin the child's birthday" is just way over me. If it's not a place that you could literally rent, then whoever gets there, gets the table, end of story, they have just as much right to it as anyone else. Also, I bet there are many others who have their birthday and would want to have a party there, yet this Karen of a parent is the type who, if anybody else would do the same thing, would be the first to revolt. I feel sorry in advance for her child, who almost definitely will grow up n a world of double standards, as far as it can be seen from this parent.

I think I would have removed the signs and plastic table cloths, then claim “the tables had nothing on them when I arrived, soooooo….”
