Just back from town. I wanted a nice coffee and a of cake. Got there all good and then here come a group of people about 12 of them, shoving tables together and going on to make as much racket as you would expect in an all inclusive and anything goes in magaluf. Really? What has happened to respect for people around you? One by one all other people getting up and leaving. I held as long as I could and made my exit. I am sure some people think that is just how it is and is fine. I think it's not imo. Why would I think it is acceptable to do that and at the expense of others? If I wanted a party like that mid morning with my friends, I would not seek to inconvenience everyone else like that,I would hire a private space or go somewhere more appropriate.

We go out mob handed sometimes, with little children too.

You'd hate us

Someone probably thought that about us this morning. Out last night and about 15 of us met for breakfast. Can’t imagine we were quiet as there were so many of us. We put a couple of tables together, chatted, had breakfast and weren’t at all disrespectful to anyone. It’s just bad luck really for anyone who was expecting the place to themselves for a nice quiet brekkie.

I feels ya Mr Bottom. I regularly go out on my own for a nice quiet coffee and cake. When I don’t get it, I notice more than most and it’s hugely annoying. Especially because I like to sit and read or contemplate life.

But I’m with the others on right to be there I’m afraid old cheese. We have to accept it’s a public space and they are customers just as much as us.

Better luck next time!

It is annoying if you've gone somewhere that is typically a quiet spot, so you have your book with you ready to relax with a cuppa and cake. It's just bad luck, cross fingers better luck next time.

Deep breaths MB. It's truly shocking people are out enjoying themselves in January. Agreed they should all sit in silence

I'd be miffed if it was me. Obviously I understand that coffee shops are social spaces and I've got no problem with people gathering in numbers in them but if you're going to make it unpleasant for me I'm going to feel fed up.

From the comments some people have added it seems it is acceptable behaviour so will leave it to that. I certainly don't feel entitled to silence others, just some respect for people around and tgese were not resoecting others at all. I like a hood party and gathering mysrlf but mindful of my suroundings. As I said that obviously makes me entitled to some and tgey are entitled to their opinion as I am to mine

Yeah i get it. People can be incredibly unaware of others around them and what they may or may not want.

I get what you mean. Of course it's a social space and they're entitled to do what they want if they're all contributing to the business but from your perspective, it's definitely annoying if you were hoping for a quiet space. It's a coffee shop, not a pub.

You should have introduced yourself and joined them. You'd have made some new friends and they're probably just as nice as you

Not really a quiet space Joe just the usual rather than the extreme. Apparently though we are ok to do as we please in every public place so happy to just mind my own business going forward or just 'f off' elsewhere as advised

I don't think anyone advised that. Is there a chance that for some reason today, you are just less tolerant of how others around you are behaving?

Not really to be honest and of course someone did. However, as I said everyone is entitled to respectful opinions. As you know I usally talk about food and cake, not forgetting olives in particular, so happy tp retreat to safe teritorry. Though olives not always a safe topic to discuss
