IT'S SITTING, SITTING, SITTING for Pete's sake. Blush Sorry, but 'was sat' is all over Aibu. Just letting off steam.

It's all over the BBC, newspapers and just about everywhere else as well. Horrible, horrible. I share your pain.

Yes, I agree.
I'm afraid "I was sat" is going to be in the Oxford dictionary soon, as its used so much.
I understand language changes with time etc etc, but we really must fight this one.

Where does it come from, anyone know? Area? Class?

It's not its! Maybe "sat" is autocorrect gorn mad?

My DH says this. It drives me up the wall! I have started correcting him as I'm worried DS will pick it up. Blush
