A London teacher was confronted by a stranger over loud talking in a café, sparking an awkward exchange.
A London teacher, Paulina, felt mortified after a stranger handed her a green-ink note in a café, accusing her of speaking too loudly and forcing the person to leave.
The note mentioned she knew the woman’s cats’ names and criticized her volume, though Paulina, chatting about work and cats, said she didn’t realize she was disruptive.
She speculated her teaching habits may have caused her voice to carry.
The café owner said he hadn’t noticed the conversation.
Despite the awkward incident, Paulina emphasized her positive experiences with strangers in London, including a helpful encounter on the Tube, and rejected the stereotype of rude Londoners.
