Why would you expect anyone to want to sit in the middle of a parking lot?

Looks like a great little skate spot. Reclaim that space for community use!

some people are so unfit they get out of the car and need to sit down again instantly. that's just how it is

There could be other reasons besides being unfit. In my experience I know someone with cancer that would maybe need to take a break and sit down over a short distance someone without cancer wouldn't have to think about. Then again they were also able to get a handicap tag to park closer to establishments which helps

That's still extremely unfit, just for a legitimate medical reason. But yeah this kind of accessibility consideration is probably why the benches are there.

Have you ever had a debilitating disease? I do and I look healthy. People with illnesses of that type do not chose to be unfit because the disease prevents them from exerting themselves, even in a limited manner.

Sure. I never said they did. Like I said, your fitness is low for a legitimate medical reason.

I am extremely unfit due to a hidden disability, sometimes by the time I have walked through a big box store I really need to sit down before I can get to my car.

I recommend investing in a treadmill or similar you can have at home and walk while watching tv. I know it's difficult due to illness but your body will thank you for it. Get well soon!

Is there a bus stop hidden nearby? /s

There's this super tiny park near me, they added a huge path and benches that face the road... instead of the trees and grass.
Why? I don't know but then they removed one.
It also faces an apartment building and a parking lot, so I guess you can look into people's windows as well.

Maybe they're for people who are waiting for their ride to arrive?

Maybe if you have to sit down for a minute on your way between the building and your car?
Yep. Accessibility
