Am on train with DS who is an adult sized long-legged teen.
DS and I got on at station 1. No double seats available so we took the two aisle seats on a table, sitting next to a young couple who were deliberately sitting opposite each other in order to hog the table (slightly bad form).
On the table on the other side were another couple also deploying strategic use of bags and placement to hog the table.
At station 2 the couple got off leaving DS and I in command of the table. However lots of other people were getting on, so I decided to do the right thing and get DS to come and sit next to me, facing forward.
A newcomer joined us, facing backwards.
Couple on other table also made room for a newcomer, facing backwards - a lone middle aged woman.
At station 3 our newcomer left and so did the couple on the other side, leaving us in command of our table and the lone woman in command of the opposite table.
WHEREUPON SHE MOVED OVER TO OUR TABLE! Leaving other table empty, which it has remained ever since. Sitting in the aisle seat opposite DS so they have to battle it out for legroom.
I don't mind, I'm not aggrieved, I don't think she's a CF. But for the love of God why would you do this? Why would you leave an empty table to share one with us?
It's a quiet well-behaved carriage so she's not seeking safety in numbers from Millwall fans.
She's moved from one rear facing seat to another.
She has not shown any desire whatsoever to chat.
I personally think DS is the most beautiful young man in the world but she could equally well have gazed at him from her original seat.
May I throw it open to the MN hive mind? Why would anyone do such a thing?
