For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

we definitely need more sitting spaces in public...though mid-stairwell is an odd choice.
My first thought was that you'd appreciate it more every decade.
For a building with no elevators, it makes perfect sense.
I think that would have been designed for the women hauling 40 pounds of petticoats up the stairs with her lungs corseted shut in a room emptied of oxygen by the gas lights.

That being said, as someone having a hard time using stairs (some issues with me knees) I know I'm very appreciative when there is a chair or something to sit on for a short rest.
