[sudo-discuss] someone left in a huff

[Jake]

tonight at Hardware Hacking Tuesday, a friend of mine showed up and set his bag
down on the floor before greeting others who were here.

His bag touched some of the property of someone who had quite a lot of stuff,
and that person berated my friend for touching his property without permission
and made what I thought was quite a big deal out of it.

my friend was very apologetic (I would not have been) but this did little to
calm the person down, who seemed deeply offended and continued to try to make
my friend feel bad for touching another person's property without permission.

i stepped in and told the person that I thought they had quite a lot of stuff,
which was spilling into walkways and very uncontained, and I asked them to
please move some of it out of the way.  They responded that they were just
going to leave because I had made them feel "unwelcome".  They then packed up
their stuff and left.

the item in question, that was "touched" by my friends' bag, was a sleeping
bag.
