'I refused to share my picnic with hungry kid in park - she's not my problem'

A woman has been branded "mean and selfish" for refusing to share her picnic with a hungry child in the park. The 22-year-old explained how she treats herself to a solo picnic in the park every now and then as a way to "unwind" after a challenging week at work.

She makes sure to pack her favourite snacks and a book to read while enjoying the sunshine in the peace and quiet. Taking to Reddit, she said: "I went to a well known park in my city where I packed a basket of food and a book to enjoy the last few hours of the sun before heading home.

"As I was reading and enjoying my snacks I had a little girl come up to me a few times which I would acknowledge with a smile and then go back to reading my book. It came to the point where I would just ignore her when I sensed her coming because I wasn't up for engaging in a conversation with anyone due to being drained from work."
