⛪ one thing that bothers me is when parishioners come in late for whatever reason- maybe it's not their fault - maybe they got caught in traffic or whatever ; but at least in such cases DON'T come all the way up to the front with such audacity. just sit in the back.
Today a couple came in AFTER the homily was finished (which is pretty late) they had the arrogance to sit in front of me. it's sort of like they insert themselves into a story that they weren't part of from the beginning. It feels rude.
It happens to everybody -arriving late for whatever reason & it's just plain decency to sit in the back in such cases.
