I thought the same thing myself, until I noticed the drain...
Now I'm stuck imagining what he was doing with the chair in the shower.
I work in hospice, so I'm in the homes of many, many elderly people. While it's not just the elderly, some people have balance, strength, endurance issues, or injuries that make standing and bathing risky. Falls are bad, falls when naked, wet, and onto hard surfaces are worse. You can purchase specialized medical equipment meant for shower use, but I can see someone using an inexpensive plastic stool as an alternative.
I mean, in reality I would assume this would be it's purpose. But when put next to a picture of, what seems to be, him outside, the mind starts to wander.
Obviously, disabled and handicapped people also go outside, so it's silly to generalize...the posted picture just doesn't help the picture in my mind go to appropriate places...
maybe it fucking should..
