I have this one lecture class with a ridiculous amount of people in it, at least 100, and we sit in rows, kind of like that film college setting.
EXCEPT, no college film set would have seats like this.
There are desks, super old fashioned, and chairs like board of wood…oh wait that’s all they are! And they are super uncomfortable and you are so close to your neighbor, and that’s not even the worst part. There is absolutely no space to move between the rows. You have to put down your desk to do so. I literally do mean it when I say no space.
It is so uncomfortable and doesn’t make sense to me. I know it probably saves a lot of space, but it makes it impossible for people to enter after someone has sat down without disrupting everyone. And forget it for people who are late. They frequently sit on the floor.
And all I just think is, why?
It bothers me.
