One of my hobbies is to go hiking and eat a very large meal while sitting down. Basically a picnic for myself. I bring a blanket and anything else I might need for an hour-long experience.

This past Monday I was up at a new area I’d never been to. I brought my large meal with me and set up on a very gorgeous area with a great view of the lake. I was about 5 minutes into my ritual when this guy with a camera comes and tells me that a couple was coming up to do a proposal on this very spot and asked me to move.

I told him no that I barely got set up and I was in the middle of my meal. He gets annoyed and just asks again but I tell him now. A few minutes later the photographer returns with the guy who was going to propose. The guy proposing asks me this time and I just tell him no, that he can wait. He asks me wtf is wrong with me and I just tell him that I am eating my meal. He starts telling at me to gtfo but I put on my headphones and just continue eating. After a while he leaves me alone.

After I felt satisfied from the meal I packed up and was heading down. The three were waiting at another spot and the men point me out and the lady starts yelling at me that I ruined her day and that the proposal happened elsewhere instead of the spot I was in. I just smiled and said congrats on your proposal and kept walking.

When I got back home this came up and I told my boyfriend about it. He straight up said it was an asshole thing to do.
