annoyed woman wont move seats on train

[PrettyPleaseXo]

Currently on the train with my 5 year old. There’s loads of individual seats but none together so I’m stood next to my daughter who’s sat down next to another woman.
AIBU to be a bit annoyed she’s turned her back on my daughter to avoid eye contact and hasn’t moved to another seat so I can sit next to my daughter?

if there were no other seats I’d completely get it but there’s loads of individual ones

Ask her?

And ?

She’s turned her back on us and is on the phone or I would haha

Has she reserved her seat ? Could you have reserved seats ?

This will not go well for you op.

Have you asked? Is she sat by a window? Maybe she likes the window and not the aisle seats? Perhaps she's booked a seat so is sitting in it.

I don't think you're reasonable to be annoyed if you haven't asked. And even then it's up to her if she moves or not.

If there's loads of other individual seats are these by other people? If so you could ask if any of those people mind moving?

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I knew that before I posted I just hoped I’d get some people on side

Can't you just sit on one of these nearby seats?

And? You just say excuse me, would you be up for moving so we can sit together? If not no worries I'll see if someone else is.

Sounds like she was there first. If you didn’t reserve two seats together you don’t have a leg to stand on.
You can ask but she can also say no .

Meanwhile, my partner has left a cup in the sink without rinsing it .

She probably prefers a window seat. Why should she move?

That’s a shame. I always offer to move so parents can sit with their kids.

Haha! So tap her on the shoulder?

But also, if there are 'loads of individual seats but none together', why not ask someone else?

Or stick your child on your lap?

Ask a man to move. Women are always expected to be accommodating. It gets wearing.

Just ask. YABU to be annoyed if you can't be arsed actually speaking up

Why have you singled out this woman?
Personally I'd probably move but if I had to plug my phone in then I wouldn't!

Totally depends if the train is full of reserved seats. If she moves into another seat and then someone gets on who has reserved it, she's left with no seat. If it's not reserved seating, then I think she is being unreasonable not to move. I would.

LTB.

Yes!

Can't you sit your daughter on your lap?

Sit down, put 5 year old on your lap. Or use your words and ask.

I actually find men more willing to move anyway

If the train is completely is completely unreserved, I'd move, but only if you actually asked me. The longer you stood there huffing and not asking, the funnier I would find it. Reserved seats, not a chance.

Why should this particular woman move? Why not anyone else?
You're being unreasonable to be annoyed at only one person in this situation.
