Interesting, thanks for reaching out about that. He do be doin' a quick meal.
Odd (albeit funny) thing to keep in mind about placed seats, even though it does have that silly quirky-perk: NPC's will treat them like other chair furnishings, and when it's meal time, they might choose to sit down in the restroom for a bite to eat from their own inventory.
I figure if an end-user isn't interested in seeing the locals do that though, there's the option to remove the seat after you (or they) get done using it. Not sure what happens if you try removing the seat while someone is on it, though, so I might need to add a tiny bit of code to make sure that doesn't get problematic!

All that aside, I claim no responsibility for over-spawning of seats due to users spamming the grabbing, and/or the end-user's duty to "tidy up" the spawned seats.
If anyone could make a gameplay mechanic mod (similar to hunger & thirst) where you need to "relieve yourself" every once in a while, this mod would be perfect for that.
Y'know, that's a good point. With some mods out there that add tweaks allowing you to sleep while sitting / waiting, it could be a fun little afterthought of a feature.
However, the script would need a little tweaking in itself for such a variant. May get to it sooner or later!
I figure there's an easier way to do this. Instead of scripting it into the object itself, I did find it's possible to create an autosave by sleeping / waiting while sitting on it.
That said, I'd recommend IStewieAI's Tweaks to allow sleeping / waiting anywhere or just sleeping while sitting, then doing so will create an autosave with the vanilla autosave system.

Hopefully that clarifies that tidbit better.
Now, if someone wants to add this mod in as a requirement for a new project that does things like that, that's okay, just be sure to give credit.
I'll credit and mark your mod as a requirement.
I might post an image to the screenshot gallery here in a bit, as an example.

Hopefully that helps some!
