Sitting comfortably?

This chair is in the pharmacy (dispensing chemist's shop, drug store) I visit and has always amused me. I have never seen anyone sitting on it though.

Delicacy forbids me describing the use for the ointment, you can probably guess or just look it up.

One imagines the drug company holding a brainstorming session aimed at boosting sales, and hitting on the bright idea of giving chairs away to pharmacists for their shops. One thing's for sure you wouldn't have it at home nor in the loo I suspect.
