Went to a bridge to think alone and found two other guys already pondering there

This is a screenshot of a social media post, consisting of text at the top and a photograph below. The text laments that the poster walked to a local bridge to have private time to think deeply, only to find two other men already at the same bridge doing the same activity. The accompanying photo shows a low concrete roadside barrier overlooking a residential hillside neighborhood, with two men standing facing away from the camera, leaning against the barrier and appearing to be lost in thought as they look out at the view. The humor comes from the relatable, unspoken shared experience of seeking out a quiet private spot to reflect, only to discover other people had the exact same idea.
