I have just been labelled a “vandal”. All because I wanted to sit on the coaster. The fact that the vase was already occupying the coaster is neither here nor there. It was in my way. 🐢🤨

I would not usually post such a humiliating #ThrowbackThursday picture, but felt I must highlight mistreatment in the name of “Christmas”. I know many will have had similar experiences - please know that this is a safe space to share. It was quite warm though… 🐢😕
