Honestly, the new park bench in my town is a masterclass in bad design

Tbh, I was just trying to sit down for five minutes last Tuesday at Miller Park. The bench has this huge, flat metal armrest right in the middle, so you can't actually lie down. Worse, the slats are spaced so wide apart my phone slipped straight through and cracked on the concrete. I had to fish it out with a stick. Has anyone else seen a public bench that seems designed to ruin your stuff?

Ever try putting a piece of cardboard over the slats first? Saved my keys more than once.

Cardboard just seems like a messy fix. I'd rather take the extra second to make sure my keys are secure in my bag.
