Two women who used a sewing machine at a Korean cafe have raised the ire of Internet users for lacking etiquette.
An anonymous netizen posted a photo to an online community Monday of the women seated behind a white sewing machine in the cafe. The netizen said the women made a loud noise by running the machine in the quiet cafe.
“I don’t know if that machine was for factory use or for home use, but that thing was really loud in there,” said the netizen, who claimed she visited the cafe to enjoy a cup of coffee and listen to quiet music. She said other customers were also upset.
The photo has been circulated widely, with netizens criticizing the women for “living in a world of their own.”
