There is a nun in my seat

[Azquilith]

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

When I'm in Rome I always look out for a nun when I'm crossing the road, in the belief that no Italian would run over a nun, so I'll be safe too!

I was once travelling from Wolverhampton to London with my two kiddlings and there were three ladies in our reserved seats. I (politely) asked them to move, which they did, though with much kerfuffle.

As they shuffled off doen the aisle the man next to me turned around and said to me '3 nuns!!!' They didn't have headgear on but I should have realised. People were giving me evils all the way to London. Twas awful. To guilt haunts me so beware op!

A nun at our school gave a Nazi salute on a school trip to Nuremberg. For a laugh. Maybe she was one of the ones who enjoyed mr wanky man's performance.

Being a child of the 70s and countless disaster movies, I used to get upset if a nun or a priest were on the same plane as me. I was convinced we were all doomed.

She's reserved herself a seat in heaven..... not on the 16.10 to Victoria. Tell her to move.

Love it!

I'm afraid I couldn't ask a nun to move. I'm an atheist but just couldn't bring myself to be judged by the entire carriage by asking her to move.

I was really hoping for an update from OP...there has been 'nun' :(

No update is nunbelievable

I bet the OP has been roped into saying a decade of the rosary. If she's not careful she'll get sucked into the angelus at 6pm.

I agree it's holy inappropriate

at nun left and bad habit.

Why on earth wouldn't you ask her to move? She's probably just taking the chance that whoever reserved the seat doesn't turn up.

(Makes mental note to buy nun costume for next time I want to travel on crowded train without paying for reservation )

I need a chair stealing nun update.

What's black white and brown?

She's a nun - stop the deference!

Quite right Step. I don't care what someone believes in or what their job is, if they're in my seat I'll politely ask them to move

She's a nun, her life is devoted to sacrifice and service - don't deprive her of this opportunity to demonstrate both. I'm sure she'll be v.grateful and mention you in her prayers through grittted teeth.

interested to see how this one ends!

I hope OP hasn't 'wimpled' out of saying something.

I think I will prob be laughing at the nuns laughing at the wanking park ranger for the rest of the weekend

Apologies...signal dubious post Birmingham and have just got home.
So, stood there for a bit wedged upright in the crowd, then realised that I kept looking at her which probably made me look weird.
Plus needed a wee and was unlikely to be able to get there through suitcases so figured that by sitting down I could clench.
So plucked up courage and said 'excuse me I think your sitting in my seat.
She said something back, and I didn't understand it and thought 'shit, not only a nun but a non English speaking nun'. I thought she said 'Euston' which was departing station, so I repeated 'yes, Euston' and prepared to back away, then she repeated it and realised she was saying 'your seat'. So looked cheeky and like a prat.
Anyway...she then said that she had a reserved seat! Down the carriage!! Which she had put her bag on but she wanted to sit with her friend.
So she burrowed through the crowd in her wimple (kind of mid blue) and came back with a laptop bag (what does a nun do with a laptop?) and pointed me to the seat.
So!!! I don't know what the moral is but all ended up with bums on seats.

OP Please tell us what you did!

Sorry cross-posted.

She sounds like a twisted sister, but at least you got a seat!
