I’m sat having a coffee waiting for my train and some woman has just plonked herself on the other seat … and not said anything.

I mean if she’d asked u would have said “of course” … I mean for all she knows I’m with someone.

Depends on so many things but the main point would be were there other free tables?
If not then where exactly were you, a cafe near a station or a cafe actually in a station.
If there were other tables completely free but they chose to sit at yours then yes that is odd but if not and you were somewhere like a station cafe where people were sitting waiting for trains then not so much so.

If you were with someone you would have told her but you were alone and it's not " your" table

Were other seats available, is it near the announcement screen.

Better hope she doesn't start eating your biscuits.

I would ask before sitting there.
