wasn't this an art piece?

I'd just man up, sit on the spikes, and save my money.

I have a cordless grinder. Fuck you, your art piece and/or your statement about where the homeless sleep.

This makes me angry and not in the way the "artist" intended I'm sure. It makes me angry in the "you're a pretentious twat and this is a dick move" way.

... I feel like this problem is solved by bringing a binder or book to sit on.

Yeah you can find a way around it but do you absolutely have to sit on that particular bench?

Times up, you get butt-stabbed.
