The Punishment Seat
They say that no man is an island and that human nature craves interaction with others. However, some people are perfectly fine being alone. In fact, they prefer to be left alone that way. That’s probably why this chair is positioned this way.
It may not have any legroom, making it pretty uncomfortable. Still, you don’t have to deal with unwanted socialization for others. Nobody can literally sit beside you, and you will have nobody in your line of vision. Whoever placed this chair here is either someone who is not that sociable or they are simply considerate to them.
