4:53 train (Union-Oshawa)
Lady gets on, finds remaining seat available in a quad next to where I'm sitting and plunks down a Shoppers Drug Mart bag and then quickly says to the woman across from her, "Please watch my bag" and takes off.
No one knows where she went and passengers keep trying to sit, only to be told by the woman left to guard the bag that the seat is taken...
(On a side note, it's hard to write this when there's a dude standing next to me breathing down my neck and reading over my shoulder ... Oh wait, guess he just read what I wrote coz he's turned around)
So one lady gets on, ignores that the seat is taken, picks up the bag and sits down and says she'll wait for its owner to return.
(God I love drama, please bring it)
The chick comes back and is genuinely surprised to see her seat taken. The woman sitting in it says it's not fair to hold a seat during rush hour and hands her the bag. I'd like to say a big catfight ensued but the bag lady just took her bag and left, walking through to the other car.
The woman across from her says she couldn't believe the bag lady would put her in such a situation by not even giving her the choice of if she wanted to be the keeper of the seat.
They're still talking about it.

But what if bag lady needed to use the washroom? Is she not entitled to because if she does, someone else has the right to her seat?
I better make sure I pee my pants before getting up, then.
That's horrible...if I as the lady who left the bag cause I had to pee and came back to someone in my seat I would be right pissed!
Pee first, then sit.
Im guilty, done that before. I cant help that i drink gallons of water and im constantly in the washroom.
Id be pissed too. Sometimes i get there a bit early and ask to watch my shit too.
Hmmm... I would've said something
Kelly have u not seen some of the broom closets deguised as washrooms? Not those wheelchair accessible large ones. If you are remotely over average height and SLIM and you've got one bag, you've got your legs up around your shoulders. Not feasible. Jesuuuus! , esp in winter with heavy coats and all.

I think in this case its acceptable, IMO.
Let me rephrase, since someone needs clear instructions. Find an appropriately sized bathroom, pee, then find a seat.
Sure let me just go through the entire train and find one. Mmhmm. The 4 trains on my line are generally the older trains thus no big bathrooms hunny. This site is hilarious and garners some rude comments but no need to be an ass Kelly. I dont need instruction thankyouverymuch.
Apparently you didnt think before you spoke.
Take a chill pill @anon 7:24am. Clearly Kelly did think before she wrote, (*spoke), as she clarified her position, find whatever washroom can accomodate you and your belongings; use it; and then find a seat.
I'm not sure I agree with Kelly as I may have to use the washroom after the train has moved and there are several stops to load passengers and I should be able to use the washroom, and come back to my seat mid-route....I mean this shouldn't be some sort of chair wars.
Any way don't be such a n00b.
First, you're all assuming this woman went to the bathroom. For all we know she left the train to get a chocolate bar.
This happened when the train was boarding, right? Well guess what? It *is* first come, first serve when the train's parked at Union.
After it leaves Union, then you can ask someone to hold your seat while you empty your bladder.
Here's an idea: Pee before leaving work!
No way man,
Its like like a highschool party, if the train is boarding or in motion,
You move your feet you lose your seat.
I agree with "My Take". When the train is boarding at Union you can't ask someone to hold your seat. Wait until the doors have closed. The second point is she didn't even ask this person to hold her seat, she told. That is not appropriate.
Yes. She "told" the woman and left.
Yes, we were boarding.
And no one knows really where she went but she came back while the train was in motion.
holy shitballs. Well I'm glad I ride none of the train with you folks that would tell me to screw off and offer my seat to another person, when I've gotten to the train early and got a seat.
How about peeing at work? Did you miss my point saying that I drink shit tons of water every day? You drink 3-4 litres of water and tell me that you're not constantly in the bathroom.
Wait, I have a better idea - I'll start wearing a catheter just for the train. :)
I'm chill btw, clearly you can't note sarcasm and humour over the interweb, eh? EH?!
Jesus, people are too uptight sometimes.
@Anonymous - How about not drinking 'shit tons' of water everyday?????
This post brought to you by Depends....
Perhaps because I like to and it's good for you and I'm a fitness junkie?
LOL I'm 27 years old, I'm not incontinent.
Who knew a post about someone peeing could cause so many conflicting emotions?
To pee or not to pee? That IS the question.
Then you suffer the consequenses for health, pleasure and addiction.
#WINNING!!!!
lol
