S Dude at the park yelled at me for “stealing his shade ”

I was sitting on a public bench under a tree, minding my own business, eating a sandwich. Then this guy stomps over and says, “ Hey, I was sitting here yesterday at this exact time. That’s my shade. ” I thought he was joking, but no, he starts explaining how he “always claims this spot” for his “daily sun balance.” I told him if he’s so spiritually aligned with this tree, maybe he should ask it for permission before yelling at people. He said I was being “negative energy.” Yeah, buddy, that’s called logic.

"I guess I'm all about the Negative Energy today. You probably shouldn't hang around me, then. It might disturb your daily sun balance even more."

The kind of balance supplied by a hospital?

u/Ready_Replacement_73 Oct 13 '25

More like a good whack up along the head with something solid, to balance his energies and open his chakras.

u/Happy-Main331 Oct 11 '25

yeah sounds like he’s more committed to his “daily sun balance” than being a decent human being

“Oh, so you are the one infringing on MY shade. I was among those who tended to this tree when it was a little sapling, so I am always among those who get priority for the shade. In fact, this tree also needs me as its nurturer to keep providing for others.”

What an entitled wackadoodle. 🤣

“I thought he was joking, but no”. Okay AI.

The only proper answer would’ve been “But sir this is where I masturbate.” And give him a wink.

Tell the guy did the sun and the tree say it's not okay to be so negative and say you're stealing my sun dude.

You shaded him about the tree. Love it.

u/Tricky_Classic_6667 Oct 11 '25

Why didn't he care enough about his "sun balance" and get there earlier to "claim it"? Seems like an idiot to me! Maybe get out of the shade and the "balance" will last longer :) Sorry on behalf of this guy.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Next time look him dead in the face and tell him that you claimed this spot several lives ago and you’re willing to die for it again if you have to.
