Cemeteries have different meanings to everyone.
Beyond being a place where the deceased are buried, people view them as a place to honor their loved ones.
Some people have superstitious views of cemeteries, and often find themselves going their to put their theories, and often their fears to the test.
For some people, however, a cemetery is simply an unavoidable destination on their way home, or their way to work.
Redditor Karl_Marxist_3rd found recently found themself in a cemetery largely by coincidence, and felt it was a good opportunity to finally get to something they'd been meaning to do for a while.
Unfortunately, the original poster OP's behavior was met with disapproval by a passer by, calling the OP "disrespectful".
Wondering if this was the case, the OP took to the subReddit "Am I The A**hole" (AITA), where they asked fellow Redditors:
"AITA for eating a croissant in a cemetery?"
The OP explained why their brief pause in a cemetery was met with disapproval by another visitor:
"I had a doctor's appointment today and they told me to not eat or drink anything before it. Once I got out, I was starving and pretty thirsty, so I went to a supermarket, grabbed a crossaint and a bottle of store brand cola and went to look for somewhere to sit down. The nearest spot I could find that wasn't directly by a busy road was a cemetery. So I went in, walked to some benches and sat down. I had almost finished eating when a woman, maybe in her 70s, walked past me and asked who I was visiting if I didn't mind the question. I said I was just eating somewhere quiet, which surprised her. She then told me that I should be ashamed to be so disrespectful and left. I finished eating and drinking before leaving. I can see where she was coming from and it's possible she was grieving and looking for solidarity, but also I was just eating and it was the closest spot.
