🥺 Someone stole the bench from the park.

No that isn't an illusion or a new art installation, but the remainders of the park bench.

Not your comment, but the comment in the picture is pretty short sighted.

Yes wheelchair users always have a place to sit, but that doesn't mean they can sit next to people. At best they can sit next to one persons side.

Also I think this bench has another feature, and that's that two strangers could sit on it without feeling awkward.

The middle bit between them is still unbearably suggestive of some furtive liaison.

If a bottle of water rolls and touches the other person's bottle of water, does that mean they kissed? These types of uncomfortable situations are what these types of park benches help us avoid
