Girl Urges to Kick Single Dad with Crying Baby Out of Cafe, They Meet Again at a Job Interview – Story of the Day

A single, ambitious woman whose life is all about work tries to have a single father with a crying baby kicked out of a café. Surprisingly, she runs into him again a year later, but this time, the tables have been turned.

It was a busy Monday evening when Libby walked into the café, ordered a regular coffee, and settled into the seat overlooking New York City’s busy streets.

Terrible, terrible day it had been for her. With the long meetings and projects with tight deadlines, she was hoping to find some time to relax before returning home to her yoga meditation and more work before bed.

“Thank you,” she said quietly as a waitress brought her order while she checked her day planner on her iPad. More meetings and work for the next day. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Libby put down her iPad, sipped some hot coffee, and took a look around. That’s when she cast a disgusting glance at the table next to her, where a baby was staring at her with big eyes and apple puree all over his mouth…

“Disgusting!” Libby muttered under her breath before looking away.

“Excuse me, sir!” she called out to the man from her table. “Ask your baby to be quiet! He’s crying like he won’t see another day!”

The man turned around and whispered a sorry before continuing the call and rocking his baby simultaneously. Nothing changed. The baby kept crying, and Libby was so angry that she called the waitress.

“I’m a regular here, and this is the bare minimum you could do for me. Please move them to another table where I won’t be able to hear that obstinate baby’s cries! Or simply kick them out! Do anything; just get them out of my sight!”

“Ma’am,” said the waitress apologetically. “As you can see, all the tables inside are currently full, and the only open slots are on the terrace, which may be too cold for the baby. I’ll speak with them…”

The waitress approached the man’s table, said something to him, and Libby...
