I frequently write about the best benches I have found, so this is hard for me to admit, but I admit there are plenty of bad benches. Benches are kinda like people, sizes, lengths, and quality.
So this week I would like to take you on a global vacation to the world’s worst benches. Though travel is limited right now, with just a dash of imagination we can visit the world via its bad benches. Sometimes I think a bad bench is better than sitting inside.
Horribly uncomfortable. Where is the back support? After 30 minutes of sitting on the bench hunched over to balance on the cylindrical sin my body would simply prefer standing.
Now I can’t really be mad about this bench because it is quirky and certainly show-stopping. Though the artistic risk paid off, functionality did not. Anyone over 5 feet would certainly be bothered by the teeth poking into the back of their head.
I just find this one funny. Clearly broken, a see-saw was not the intended result, but I wish it was. A see-saw bench would be so fun!
I imagine this was an attempt at anti-homeless architecture that has failed miserably. This doesn’t help anyone. A wall is just as useful.
Whether you are religious or not, I think most people would agree church pew benches ARE NOT COMFORTABLE. If I am supposed to sit here for 1 hour, it would be nice to be thinking about religious stuff rather than bad-bench-induced back pain.
I have no idea what is going on here.
Though we are now sheltered from the outside world and these bad benches, there may be a time in the near future you too find a bad bench. In such a time, may you remain calm, take a picture, send it to me, and immediately find a better bench.
