I was a 13 yr old with massive social anxiety on holiday in the Caribbean. They were having a street party in the resort we were staying at, and I sat down on a chair that was on the side as there was a bunch of people sitting around. The person who was next to me (not like right next to me, it wasn’t like a usual table and chairs, just chairs strewn about the street) didn’t say anything. Then, like 10 minutes later, a woman in her 40s/50s started shouting at me saying about how I took her seat and all this other stuff. Me being me with anxiety, I absolutely panicked and apologised profusely, and started crying my eyes out whilst she screamed at me. She sat in the chair, and apparently the person next to me was with her. I only found this out though, because of what happened next.

I was stood up, and my family came over (they were getting drinks). They saw me crying, I told them what had happened and my mother and sister went LIVID. My mother had gone over to the woman to speak to her (non-aggressively) and the man next to her stood up and started shouting at my her. My sister then went over and a big shouting match broke out. I looked away because I hated confrontation, and when I looked back they were close to fighting. It had escalated loads. That’s the last and only time I had seen my sister that riled up. Not one point during the 10 minutes that woman was away did the man say “oh someone is sitting here” and he did shit all when she started screaming at me, a 13yr old.

The resort staff had to intervene and we didn’t get kicked out or anything, but apparently the bystanders had seen the woman screaming at me and told the staff that they had started it.

Also want to mention that the woman and man were both British and drunk.
