How long will it be before someone throws this thing through the nearest window?

So, everytime you slough, this thing starts saying, "caution, please sit straight"!

This is like a checkout at Coles, where it keeps saying, "Please, take your items" and doesn't stop!

Sore back? This Australian smart office chair could soon fix that

I would pitch this thing within a month, it would drive me bonkers!

Another scientist with a sore back and too much time on his hands l think?

    My younger son was a good driver but a bit of a daredevil. One of his pet peeves was having a passenger who "advised" him to slow down or be careful.

    As a joke one year I bought him a 'gag gift'. It was a cute little stuffed bear that was advertised as a "driving buddy". When the car turned or slowed down - or just if some time had passed - this little stuffed animal would say "look out" or "who taught you to drive" or some similar smarta@@ comment.

    In the store I thought it was hilarious - by the time I drove home with it in the car I was ready to chuck it out the window. I never gave it to my son- returned it instead!

      I have a 'smart-ass' scale. Every time I step on it it yells, "YO! One at a time, please."

      Cheers. - Frank

        LOL, glad that others here agree.

        Yes, when l first got my Laptop l made it voice activated, it was cute speaking to it, but it got it wrong all the time, and worst if didn't turn it off, it would misrepresented the keyboard strokes as commands.

        After it went on a rampage and deleted stuff, that was it for me!

              And when someone overweight sits on it, it will probably say,...."Resistance is Futile"!
