Ego-Alert
For people who like themselves too much | |
This would be a simple button you wore to keep track of how often the person you're talking to says the words I, me, my or mine. If they go over a certain limit (number of times per minute or ratio to other words) then it begins to glow, yellow at first and then bright red if the speaker doesn't take
the hint. It would have to be able to keep track of different speakers of course, and also be able to apply a different algorithm to stutterers. Seeing their egotism glaring back at them might be just the thing some of these people need to stop and listen to what you have to say. In the event that you're the one with the big ego then the button could vibrate at increasing levels until you figured out there were other real people around.

'tis easier for me to deal with people who begin each sentence (especially requests) with 'I' than with any other pronoun. |

"Porgles" has a nice sound. It ought to mean something. |
