Never Sit on a Warm Stool

The high 'bar stool'. Why? They're hard to get on to for the shorter person and once you're up there, you can't shuffle around to maximise your comfort. Having climbed the North Face of the stool, you end up eating or drinking your refreshments while at an awkward juxtaposition with the table or counter. Indeed, if your bar stool is at one of those narrow counters, you will find that the edges of your newspaper embarrassingly overlap with the person sitting next to you. Did you really want to read about the stock market or were you enjoying an update on the soaps? Your elbows will be in danger of invading each other's personal space as well. Most concerning however, is if the seat area of the bar stool isn't ample enough you are at risk of your buttocks drooling over the edges. Helpful tip: make sure no-one you are hoping to impress is behind you while sitting on a bar stool.

I think my dislike comes from a documentary I once saw about a nudist camp; I haven't really got over the naked people sitting on their bar stools.
