A bench in the rain

So not only has the sun gone away, it has now started raining, in fact it has been raining almost all day :-(

So there are these metal benches outside the entrance to Ocean Terminal.

And there are these "bus shelters" type things outside Ocean Terminal (except they're not bus shelters because they're not at the side of the road and there ARE shelters at each of the bus stops).

But the benches are NOT under the shelters so you cannot sit on them in the rain and stay dry.

It's not as if there isn't plenty of space to stand out of the rain already (there's a large overhang on the front of Ocean Terminal, which extends well away from the entrance so smokers don't need these shelters).

WHY!!?
