I thought about this later, and now I think it’s this:
The host says to the guest “have a seat anywhere” only to come in and find the guest has selected the worst, most obviously dangerous seat.
But not just that. The absurdity of the host even having such a chair in the first place. Why would there be a chair with a bear trap, metal spikes and a snake hanging by a thread unless they wanted to put someone in harm’s way. But she rushes in as though she’d momentarily forgotten all about the snappy, pokey, bitey chair.
