  • You have no idea if they have a reason or not. Perhaps that’s their regular spot. Perhaps the wifi or data signal is only good in that area, maybe they are just asshole. But you assume a lot and are just jumping to conclusions. Behaviours that lead to worse results.

    There’s always more to the story than you can tell.
