really reserved seat

It was quite ironic when I saw someone literally trying to reserve a seat on the MRT.

So there was this lady sitting on THE reserved seat. Halfway between stations she stood up, leaned against the grab pole that is right beside the reserved seat, and stared hard at the MRT route map pasted above the train door opposite. Another lady moved towards that seat and wanted to sit down when lady one blocked lady two, saying "I'm sitting down".

Lady one stood and stared at the route map for a while, then sat back down. A few minutes later stood up again and stared at the route map again.

She could have done it Singaporean white-collar style and put a packet of tissue paper on the seat.
