She wanted a seat for her bag? A seat for her bag?

Cheeky cow nun.

Well done Azquilith you're braver than me Catholic guilt Grin

Andrewofgg · 13/02/2015 18:31

If I was looking for a seat and found one taken by a bag which someone (nun or not) had left and was sitting somewhere else I would put the bag on the rack and sit down.

GoringBit · 13/02/2015 18:33

But she used her reservation for the bag, then nicked OP's seat.

Very brass-necked.

Justmuddlingalong · 13/02/2015 18:34

Ah,
but these situations are never black and white are they...?

Andrewofgg · 13/02/2015 18:35

Seats, including reserved seats, are for bums, not bags. If you want two seats buy two tickets - I have seen a cello taken that way.

You need to improve your nunchuck skills

Azquilith · 13/02/2015 18:35

I've just wikipediad and apparently nuns do carry a small black bag for personal effects.
It was definitely a laptop bag though.

Did you move the nun in the end, OP?

Justmuddlingalong · 13/02/2015 18:37

Grin Nunchuck, brilliant!

What does a nun do with a laptop

She's probably a mnetter

hmc · 13/02/2015 18:42

Sounds like she was bagging her reserved seat (no pun intended) with some fairly impressive forward planning in mind - i.e. she had anticipated someone coming up and saying you're in my seat, and all along had planned to ask this person if they would consider sitting in her seat instead. The bag was there to deter anyone else from taking it....She was probably wondering why it was taking so long for anyone to say anything.

Quite impressed with the nun's logistics actually!

Azquilith · 13/02/2015 18:45

Imagine if she is a mumsnetter.
Would they have wifi in a convent?
Do nuns still live in convents.
I just don't know.

Don't they have nunsnet?

Justmuddlingalong · 13/02/2015 18:48

Maybe they're starring in Sister Act and the laptop has her lines on.

Four nuns were standing in line at the gates of heaven. St Peter asks the first if she has ever sinned. "Well, once I looked at a man's penis," she said. "Put some of this holy water on your eyes and you may enter heaven," st Peter told her. St Peter then asked the second nun if she had ever sinned. "Well, once I held a man's penis," she replied. "Put your hand in this holy water and you may enter heaven," he said. Just then the fourth nun pushed ahead of the third nun. St Peter asked her, "Why did you push ahead in line?" She said, "Because I want to gargle before she puts her arse in it!"

Sorry Blush I couldn't resist Blush

I once met a fabulous nun near Wolverhampton, who used to ride a 1000cc motorbike. At the end of talks/meetings etc, she would hitch up the back of her skirt between her legs, tuck it in her belt, and roar off into the distance! Twas a sight to behold.

Azquilith · 13/02/2015 19:03

Nunsnet brilliant.

Two nuns are driving along on a stormy night when they are pulled over by a vampire.

One nun says to the other, "show him your cross".

So the other yells out the window "get out of the way you toothy twat!'

niceandwarm · 13/02/2015 19:09

She's a nun fgs, not God. Ask her to move.

RhoticSpeaker · 13/02/2015 19:09

As for what she might do with the laptop, there's quite a bit of nun stuff on the internet. Lots of orders have websites; they sell things; they recruit (well, give information about vocations), etc.

x2boys · 13/02/2015 19:18

I agree with step and coconutyy also catholic and went to a convent primary school.the nuns could be bastards (my dad said the brothers were worse though) I would be wanting my seat!

Artandco · 13/02/2015 19:18

Tbh I would probably ask God to move also if he was in my reserved seat!

Ohbollocksandballs · 13/02/2015 19:26

I once saw 2 nun friends in kfc. They left with more than enough to feed at least 2 additional nuns in a vauxhall Zafira.

I realise this has little to no relevance to the seat theiving but an opportunity to discuss this since it happened has never arisen until now.
