> I’m not the only one who remembers this story, right? The person inappropriately sitting being Black is new, but we’ve heard this story before. There’s demo furniture at a convention that MUST NOT BE SAT ON for…reasons. The OP never tells the reasons and becomes increasingly belligerent about people asking why there’s furniture at the booth if it can’t be sat on and suggesting the OP either get other furniture that can be sat upon or omit the furniture from the display instead of talking about the bad people who insisted on sitting on the forbidden furniture. I think it ended up in the pit
