Reserved. Train chocka. AIBU to ask her to move?

Ha ha ha Grin

I honestly couldn't bring myself to do this but if you want to feel free-standing is your seat after all.

Jinglebells99 · 13/02/2015 16:27

Lol funny thread title! Show her your reservation, maybe she's in the wrong seat?!

Flossyfloof · 13/02/2015 16:28

Omg of course you can't ask her to move! God is watching especially hard.

BolshierAyraStark · 13/02/2015 16:28

It is yours-ffs, twatting auto correct

Flossyfloof · 13/02/2015 16:28

Actually yes I think I would tell her that there might be a mistake as you have reserved and could she please bugger off.

SquinkiesRule · 13/02/2015 16:29

She's a Nun, and not above pinching a seat and not perfect, I'd say something, and be very nice about her "mistake"

I'd be mortified but would have to tell her as I can't stand for long periods anyway...I can image the stares and whispers when you do though Grin

Azquilith · 13/02/2015 16:31

She is in fact, next to another nun. So if I ask her to move I am splitting up nun friends. This is hard.

WorraLiberty · 13/02/2015 16:31

Maybe there was nun left?

Either way, it's a bad habit she's got Grin

BOOM - TISH!

Allalonenow · 13/02/2015 16:32

Just ask her very nicely to give you your seat. Smile

packofbaloobas · 13/02/2015 16:34

What age is she about?
nun part irrelevant but if she is an older woman I wouldn't

Goldrill · 13/02/2015 16:35

Elderly? Pregnant....??

Bahahaha Worra Grin

TywysogesGymraeg · 13/02/2015 16:39

Pregnant nun? Now that would be worth starting a thread about.

Azquilith · 13/02/2015 16:41

Middle aged. Friend nun is elderly.

Guard has announced there are other seats...in Coach A. We are in E. I find it difficult to stand for long periods and have a suitcase and am fairly hefty to get through the crowd.
She is tiny. But a nun.

Gruntfuttock · 13/02/2015 16:42

Oh well, if she's tiny and won't move when asked, just pick her up and place her on the lap of the other nun. Then they won't be split up. Grin

FiftyShadesOfSporn · 13/02/2015 16:44

Tell the guard your problem. he might carry your case to coach a. or to first class.

Grin at 'nun friends'

Wibblypiglikesbananas · 13/02/2015 16:47

I once sat opposite a nun on a long train journey. She was elderly and tiny but managed to drink a huge bottle of Coke throughout the course of the morning. I don't know why, but it just struck me as funny. I'd have expected tea in a china cup or something - don't even really know why but it just seemed incongruous.

Flossyfloof · 13/02/2015 16:47

You could maybe find the guard and get him to hoof her out? Nun or no nun it is pointless making the effort to reserve if you can't use your reserved seat.

BuzzardBird · 13/02/2015 16:47

Ask her what goes black white black white black white

Flossyfloof · 13/02/2015 16:48

Wobbly did she burp a lot afterwards? Coke makes me terribly burpy.
