A Beach Walk Gone Wrong: When Keeping Ahead Means Falling Behind
Written by Roger – Your Expert on All Things Sassy and Sane
Today, darlings, we’re delving into a drama-filled story of sun, sand, and… six feet of separation. Inspired by a real Reddit post, buckle up (or should I say brace for a leisurely stroll?) as we explore one man’s questionable beach etiquette.
The Setup: A Sandy Standoff
So, our protagonist, let’s call him
Original story
So we parked the car at the beach which is about 100 metres away from the sea and started walking up. My wife is almost 7 months pregnant and is quite a slow walker.
I pulled ahead about 15-20 metres to get a lay of the land and to see how busy it was etc. My wife claims when I pulled ahead I didn’t turn back to check she hadn’t fallen over once.
I was not that far ahead, and I easily could have heard her if anything had happened. I think she is being unreasonable because it doesn’t seem like a big deal.
We have a very good relationship, we rarely fight but this seems to have really got under her skin.
AITA?
Edit: we’re on holiday in a foreign country and it’s significantly hotter than a temperature we’re used to. I’m also 6ft4 and she’s 5ft 1
