The "Rolling Bench" has a handle on the side that you turn when the surface of the seat is wet or dirty and you want something cleaner without getting dirty yourself. Pretty simple solution for the age-old problem of finding public seating that is not completely soiled by the last person who was there or by inclement weather. We only wonder what happens when the whole roll gets filthy.

I think this is more about just wetness from, say, a rainstorm or a pool, and not dirtiness from some weird source.

I thought it was an electrified bench that gave you negative reinforcement if you sat on it and wet your pants.
