Me: Going to my prereserved forward facing, window seat to enjoy my two hour train ride. I see a woman sat on my seat. She sees me and points to the seat next to her. Me: Can we swap please? Her: *pulls a face* gathers her stuff. "It's just a seat..." She moans. Me:"It's a reserved seat" My brain: B!tch if it's "just a seat" why the heartbreak and struggle to get off of it? Yeah I thought so... its a really good seat. When I travel, I take time to research my seat and book it. That's how much it matters to me. If you don't have a reserved seat and sit on a reserved seat, expect to be asked to move. I hate having confrontations over seats on trains. I shouldn't have to be made out to be the bad guy because I politely ask for my reserved seat. And people who want something from you and make it out to be "just" a thing annoy me. You want what I have, it isn't "just" anything to you so quit the drama. I can't believe she's making me b!tch on SM at 7 am about a seat. She is currently enjoying my window view... It's a lovely view that's why I reserved it.
@cbucksrules Last time this happened to me, a woman refused to get out of my reserved window seat (I'm female too and was too tired to argue). I sat in the empty seat next to her and plugged my electrics into the wall sockets next to her, so my cables draped over her the whole journey 😃
@cbucksrules I had someone want *me* to move out of my reserved seat so all of his family could sit together. He threw a mantrum when I wouldn't.
@cbucksrules I’d booked my seat on a coach to Heathrow and a bloke was in it. I politely said I’d reserved that seat. He waved at all the empty seats saying I could sit in one of them. No. I chose this seat and paid extra £2 for it. He moved directly behind me in a passive aggressive move.
@cbucksrules Got to love how 'British' we all are in these situations, quietly fuming. I was guilty of drinking and entire bottle of water belonging to a seat mate, who never said a thing. Only when I realised that my identical bottle was still in my bag. Me: OMG was that yours? Her: Yes
@cbucksrules You're not the bad guy. That's your seat. She's the woman who didn't bother reserving a seat. It's on her. Now forget about her and enjoy your train ride!!
