Pay This Bench Money or It Will Poke You With Spikes

by Robert Quigley | 4:30 pm, July 14th, 2010

Design student Fabian Brunsing has devised a fiendish device that makes pay toilets seem positively munificent: Dubbed “Pay & Sit: The Private Bench,” it consists of a bench covered with retractable metal spikes and a coin slot. If you want to sit down on the bench without an array of spikes jamming you in the keister, you’ve got to pay €0.50 (about 70 cents US).

As seen below, this causes the spikes to retract so you can sit on the bench, and also activates a timer. Shortly before the timer expires, you’re warned by a buzzer to get up; then, the spikes shoot back up. Beware!

    Awesome soon I will have to pay just to sit down!
    This would be so funny to see in the UK since somebody would probably destroy the change box to get some cash just like they do with the pay phones!

    they should make a coin slot on the other side – if one person pays up another could sit on the other side of the bench for free! No free rides!

    Why not just bring a foam cushion on which to sit?
