Dodging the Trash
Now, we’re all for saving space and being efficient, but sometimes, cutting corners just doesn’t work. It doesn’t make any sense. This is one of those occasions where the theory doesn’t match the practice. What might’ve seen like a good idea in theory, definitely isn’t a good idea in practice.
The designer behind this obviously thought “I know, there’s all this empty space above the benches, and I need to fit trashcans in somewhere, so I’ll just put them on the top!” Failing to realize that no one really wants to sit with their head leaning against a dirty, smelly garbage can.
