There is a nun in my seat

[Azquilith]

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

Tough one...!

My DH once ended up sat next to a bishop who was very upset that first class provision had been messed up so he had to sit in standard class, and instead of the nice free sandwiches had to eat a pack of mini cheddars.

I charged a nun excess baggage once. A few kilos over maybe, but double again! How 'bout NO!

You must tell her it is your reserved seat. Since when do reservations not count dependent on who is sitting there? She and her friend should move to the other carriage.What is so special about a nun?

They're at it, heading out in a hen night!

Ask her to budge up?

Don't ask her to move. She's got a hotline to God. And he works in mysterious ways.

This has really made me smile, thanks op! No solution to your Nun issue though, sorry!

she'll have to do another round of Hail Marys for stealing your reserved seat...God is watching her too!

Hoik her out! I've watched Call The Midwife, these nuns are clearly a menace.

G'wan then - what does go black white black white black white?

She's a nun - stop the deference! Your seat ask the penguin to shift. Spoken as an Irishwoman beaten by the buggers.

She may be a nun but she has stolen your seat

You need to protect her immortal soul, OP. You need to ask her to move.

Just move her. A nun is on paar with any other profession. Everyone would ask a teacher/ doctor/ plumber to move, why not them?

Buzzard what?

Nun rolling down a hill innit? (Black white, black white)
I'd ask her to move I think.

Oh God, you can't ask her to move, she's a nun, normal rules just don't apply to nuns. I'm not sure why this is but it is - I have absolutely no idea why but I would find it very hard to ask a nun to move.. The seat is a lost cause, just take yourself off to the other carriage and make yourself comfy, it's probably emptier and more comfortable there.

I've known many nuns in my time and would have no problem telling the nun to shift her bum.

Most nuns don't wear a veil these days so maybe she's an accountant/teacher/beautician who keeps it in her bag as a useful disguise to help her nab train seats.

Am I the only one singing,
There's a nun in mi seat what am I gonna do,
There's a nun in mi seat what am I gonna do,
I'm gonna shift that nun, that's what I'm gonna do

I'd ask her to move. I'm sure like most normal people, she knows sitting in a reserved seat means someone's likely to ask you to move at some stage.

Bit odd to refer to it as 'stealing' though - do people really not sit down in reserved seats when the person who's reserved them isn't even on the train yet?! If you do, you should definitely talk to the next nun you meet about getting some credit for your martyrdom.

roffling at continued use of word NUN

ask her where's the soap

you know nuns in France?

are they not allowed to wear nuniform?

this bothers me intermittently

I'd shift her for you if I was there. I'm another who was taught by nuns, and suspects that they're all a bit evil.

Just go up to her and tell her that though shalt not steal, so she needs to do one.

It does, doesn't it, Muddha

I am amazed anyone would hesitate, unless it was clear the person was frail and really obviously needed the seat. She is probably sitting there thinking you haven't turned up and it's fair game.

Tell her sitting on other peoples seats is a.... Wait for it.... Bad habit

Ooh, pretend that you're also a nun, but from a silent order.
And communicate to her that she needs to move, through the medium of interpretive dance.
