Situation: I am facing the door across the room, with washing machines on my left, and a cola vending machine directly behind me.
Alternative situations: Walking away from the vending machines in between the clothes dryers and washing machines. I had just finished grabbing my drink from the drink vending machine behind me, heading towards the table to sit down on my right side in front of me.
Question: What is closer to me - a bench or a sofa chair?
