I once was on the train to Scarborough to visit a friend
And true to form was reading a book to while away the time. I was sitting in one of the uppermost pair of seats in the carriage, and at one point had to retire to squeeze a kidney. The carriage being quite quiet, I left the book on my chair. Upon returning, I saw two girls apparently sitting where I'd been. Two, pretty seventeen y/o-ish girls.
"Where's my book?" I asked, all self-righteous. "I don't mind you sitting there if you thought it was empty, but I left my book there!"
Surprised, they looked up at me like I was mental.
"Look, I left my book there just now when I went to the toilet! Where is it?" I demanded.
At the moment, I looked at the seats behind. Which is where my book was. Because that's where I'd been sitting. I slumped down onto my seat and endured them trying to stifle their laughter until the train pulled up.

"How dare you move my book just to get my important attention, you dreadful scrubbers."
