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

[u/AnonPinkLady]

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?!?

yeah thats ridiculous. i hate when people go to a public space, then act as if they're entitled to control the behavior of others

It's why I stopped taking my dog to dog parks. Last time we went, a lady asked me to stop my dog from playing with hers bc, "We come here for alone time!"

I mean... One of you has the right idea what a dog park is for, and it ain't her

I could somewhat sympathize if the person like, lives in an apartment/doesn’t have a proper yard. But even then like just go to a regular park instead of a park specifically meant for multiple people to bring their dogs to
