The Private Pay & Sit Bench
German designer Fabian Brunsing created a very unique Pay & Sit Bench specially for those who hate sharing their seats in a park.
In a normal state, the bench is all covered with metal spikes. If you want to sit and not hurt your rear end – you have to slip a 50 Euro cent coin (~66 cents US). Than the spikes retract, and you can comfortability sit for a fixed period of time before the alarm goes off. Few seconds after the buzzer spikes rise again.
It’s a pretty cool invention, however, imagine a drunk guy inserting a coin and falling asleep here. Or even worse – blind person looking for a seat in the park.
Some people even suggested making the bench more fun by making the spikes deploy very quickly after some random length of time.
Got wisdom to pour?
Pretty terrible invention IMO…
I’d just sit on it anyway, making sure the spikes arent going into any holes they shouldnt be…
It must be pain in the ass to sit on this bench!
I bet some people wouldn’t pay any money and enjoy getting a spike in their ass :)) Anyway, cool invention :)
