Please, (don’t) take a seat!

I saw this on campus and laughed out loud, because it’s a perfect follow-up to my previous post about seating in public places. In that post, I wrote about how people use objects around them–such as curbs, statues, or steps–as seats, even though seating is not their intended use. Humans improvise in order to fulfill their basic needs.

This picture shows opposition to that natural human inclination; clearly, whoever works in that office was getting tired of students using their windowsill as a place to rest. I don’t blame them, though. Opening your shades to the sight of someone’s bum is not necessarily the best way to start the workday.
