    There is a variant of the chair that have gaps in the seat to prevent rain from pooling. While it’s a useful feature, it also presents a danger because sitting on them can cause the gaps to widen, allowing things like testicles to pass through, and get caught when the person stands up.

    Enjoy picturing that thought.

    I hate these things unreasonably hard. They’re horrible for the environment, they’re sketchy if old and they’re asshole ugly.

    Got one of those ugly bastards in my backyard and don’t know where it came from.

    Wheelie bins are probably made in the same way, only with a differently shaped mould. There are probably other common objects that also belong to this class.

      What is a wheelie bin? I’m unfamiliar with this expression, and although I could Google it, I’m curious as to how this is used in your culture.

        It’s a large household trash bin with two wheels, a handle, and a lid, usually made out of plastic. You can tilt it onto the wheels for easier transportation. It often has receptacles that a garbage truck can hook into when emptying.

        The “wheelie bin” expression is (probably) Irish.
