Thankfully, we’ve not come to a time where you’d have to pay money just to sit on a bench… yet. This bench, affectionately called “Pay & Sit: The Private Bench” by its creator Fabian Brunsing would need you to part with 0.50 Euros before it lets you rest your hinds on it. Put in the coin, and wait for the spikes to retract into the bench before you sit. But don’t get too relaxed, it also has a timer running, and will warn you with a sound sometime before the spikes come up again. God help us if the spike-mechanism malfunctions or someone fails to hear the warning sound. I’ll prefer sitting on the ground, thank you. Video after the jump.
