Imagine a lot full of cubicles and chairs, telephones and computer screens. Does the boss have time to come around enforce the rules like he should be doing? NO! He has appointments, presentations and performance reviews to complete!

What he needs is a robot that goes around to cubicles at random and does a check on certain parameters, such as keyboard noise, posture, telephone operation, etc. and if any worker is found lacking, it administers a swift kick to their chair. Other ways of tormenting the workforce could be used, such as maybe a squirt of water, or a blast of hot, sweat-inducing air.

Although not the torture drone from Star Wars™, it could be the starting point for such.

I was hoping for a robot that randomly kicked chairs out from under people who were sitting down. That would definitely get a bun from me.

I had thought of your idea, [Jibnish], and was about to go searching for it, but I thought it might have been UnaBubba's and and decided not to venture on a *possible* wild goose chase.
