Overcrowded Train Sees Sydney Bloke Forced To Sit On The Carriage Cuck Chair

A Sydney bloke has this morning faced the indignity of sitting on the carriage cuck chair, after a chaotic peak-hour commute left him with no other option.

For readers outside of the harbour city, the carriage cuck chair refers to the strange, lonely little seat found on most Sydney trains.

Unlike the rows of reversible chairs, which are known to bring joy to expats who’ve never encountered such a groundbreaking, flip-happy design before, this single seat is tucked awkwardly into the corner of the carriage, as if it were specifically designed for no friend Nigels.

It also has the added bonus of facing every other commuter, forcing the unfortunate occupant into prolonged, unwanted eye contact with a sea of strangers.

Though a handful of contrarians have professed their unironic love for the carriage cuck chair, Ben Tallis, 31, is not one of them.

“I'm all for making the most of space but whoever thought that chair was a good idea is a sicko", explains Ben, who insists that next time he’ll just stand, "it's impossible to make eye contact with anyone without feeling like a massive creep."

"Why does it have a 'sit here' sticker on it? Do they need to convince people?"

"Disgusting little pervert chair."

More to come.
