78 Photos of Things That Were So Close, Yet So Far

Anyone who’s ever spent any time on an airplane, especially with a budget airline, knows what a hot commodity legroom is. We’ve all come to terms with the fact that while on the plane, you probably just won’t get any of that precious leg stretching space. But in the airport? Nah, I’m going to need that legroom.

Maybe whoever designed this waiting area at the terminal just had an extra chair on hand, so they thought, “Why not?” But if you’re going to be sitting for several hours on a plane with very little legroom, why on earth would anyone choose to sit in this chair facing this blank wall? It just doesn’t compute.
