For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

It feels as like a dick move by whoever assigned seats.

You have a well-known celebrity who's famously tall, and you place him so 3 or 4 people straight behind will have an obstrcted view of the event.

I guess this is the "... But at what cost" we've been asking about.

I was thinking he should be in the front row, he needs the leg room

Even worse, it kinda looks like his chair has shorter legs. Might just be weird perspective, but crazy if they did that to keep him from sticking up too much.

Didn't notice that before, looks like you're right

See how everyone is looking to the left? They already put him on the side.

He's also being considerate by standing slightly to the (exterior) side of his chair

Yeah, he should be forced to have a shittier seat because he was born tall.

He was born this tall? His poor mother.

Don't worry he came out horizontally
