There's nothing quite like a trip to the seaside with your family, and as Brits begin to dream of the possibility of a warm, sunny September, you may be planning a jaunt to the coastline over the weekends. However, when one woman ventured to the beach with her family abroad, she was left fuming after a stranger came and positioned herself really close to them for no reason, and then proceeded to moan about what her childwas doing.
She revealed on Reddit that she was visiting her in-laws "in another European country," and they decided to spend the day at the seaside.
They were delighted, as "it wasn't busy at all," so they "chose a spot" and set up camp for the day.

"Our four-year-old then started to do what four-year-olds do at the beach," she revealed.
"About 20 minutes in, a woman sets up super close to us, about 2 metres away. It's weird because the beach is very empty, but whatever, we don't own the space," she said.
They carried on with their business for the day, until the random woman (who could've positioned herself anywhere on the beach) made it incredibly clear that she wasn't best pleased with the way the family was behaving.
She was "sighing loudly" and "pointing" at the family and their four-year-old.
The Redditor fumed: "She takes a call and is complaining on the phone about us (we speak English to each other, but we know the local language)".
The woman who was moaning said that the four-year-old was "too loud," branding the child a "brat," the mum as "rude," and she even declared that "these foreigners are ruining the place".
To shame the stranger, the family decided to "switch to the local language" to embarrass her, demonstrating that they understood every single word she was saying on the phone to her friend.
She was "shocked" when she heard the local language, and then looked "sullen" when she realised that she'd messed up.
The woman decided to "move further along the beach" as she was obviously so embarrassed with what she'd said.
"No idea why she chose to put herself in that situation, guess some people enjoy having a reason to complain," she fumed.
In the comments, someone supported the original poster, saying: "She clearly wanted to pick a fight or feel morally superior, and it backfired when you understood everything. It's wild how some people intentionally put themselves in uncomfortable situations just so they can complain".
Another wrote: "It's the beach version of 'sit in the splash zone then complain about being wet.' Manufactured outrage at its finest!"
"She thought you were tourists and wanted to intentionally ruin your day. Some people aren't happy unless they're making someone else miserable," a Redditor fumed.
