Having the " excuse me you are in my seat" conversation on the train yesterday. To be told by the lassie, "the seat reservations aren't working so I just sat here". I then explained that you don't need the reservation system to be working to be able to read your ticket and sit in the correct seat.

Did she vacate said seat in question?

No she did not, I then took a seat further along the carriage and wondered how long it would be before I was asked to move. Lo and behold the lassie in my seat and her pal got off anyway at the next stop which was Preston, she could have told me that!

Is that true though? I used to get the 6.05 Inverness train home most nights from Glasgow queen street and majority of times it was late coming in so they didn't have time to put up the reserved tickets and they would issue an apology over the train tannoy saying no reserved seats?

Yes I asked the train manager, she said announcement was put out to explain the system hadn't uploaded but to sit in your own reserved seat. It's not hard to do and they always announce on Virgins trains which coaches are unreserved in case you don't have a reservation. They repeat the announcements at every stop too. Anyhow it really pisses me off. I pick my seat specifically for every journey. :-)

That's true. Half the posts on this thread will become redundant. That can't be right

Virgin have newer trains with electronic reservations, ScotRail still use the old label on the seat system.

When waiting in line for tickets (not just Ibrox tickets) and someone comes along and replaces someone else ahead of you in the queue.

Give it a like, some right howling posts pop up to brighten up your day, the folk that post the comments that slag them off have me in stitches.

On a similar theme the Scotsman and evening news websites when trying to read on your phone.

I've given up trying to open links from twitter as it's pretty much unreadable with all the adverts and pop up messages, inevitably end up pressing on one by accident as the page jumps about.

I find the Scotsman website just about unusable, on any device. Freezes my laptop as well.

Also those links on Newsnow. The ones that have titles like "20 things you didn't know about Tinseltown". They take ages to watch and have confusing arrows that inevitably take you to an ad page.
I don't even bother going there anymore. Total Tom Kite.

People that post they have just spat their tea/coffee over their PC, laptop etc after reading something vaguely amusing on a forum. Eh, no you never so, why post it.

Trying to find a dry seat in the hotel restaurant after the proletariat who think the dress order is only about covering up their wobbly bits have had lunch. Minging philistines.

Youll need to explain this to me? You get peeved at females sitting in a seat with a very short skirt on and pishing themselves?

Not unless said user is sat with a mouthful of tea/coffee all the time in case they read something funny, after all its usually they have 'Literally' spat said drink onto screen so must be true.

You could interpret it that way if you're a complete deviant.

I was more referring to those who throw a sarong or similar around their wet bathing costumes and then go dining. Minging behaviour.

Again, not a problem if they're young and attractive.

Well I think people leaving puddles on the upholstery is minging, no matter how attractive I find them.
