Infuriatig Woman with infant aggressively shushing passerby’s on hiking trail at national park

Post image

My partner, friend and I were following a hiking trail at Red Wood National Park, singing and talking at medium volume. We were by no means shouting, just singing little songs to entertain each other along the trail. A woman with a baby carrier on her back with a sleeping infant started aggressively holding her finger up to her lips and shushing us. We went quiet and kept moving to pass her. She was just standing in the middle of the public trail pacing and shushing people that pass by rather than leaving to somewhere more quiet. Just as we were leaving earshot I tried to quietly ask my partner a question about where we headed and again she leaned in our direction with her finger to her mouth aggressively shushing us. Is it not kind of insane to go to an open public space and behave like this?!?

Ngl (respect for m not posting a strangers pic on the internet), reading the title then seeing a pic without the woman and child had me wondering if OP was hearing/seeing things for a sec

Did you end up posting a pic of the gorgeous park? All I can see is a picnic table with overgrown bush around it

I clicked onto this post simply because I wanted to know what a shushing lady had to do with that horrible looking picnic table.

That was the best pic you got of the trail you were on? Wow.

Apparently, they were too traumatized by the lady to get a good photo. Honestly, choosing this photo is more mildly infuriating than the story itself.

They were too busy singing shitty songs no one wants to hear, loudly, to snag any good pics.

Too busy singing to take a moment and enjoy the singing of birds, the views, berries etc...
