  • Call centers might force employees to wear these in the future...

    http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...-you-dare.html

    I could see Convergys embracing these and mandating their call center employees to wear them.

      It is. Can you imagine how long one of those would last until a law suit occurred?

        I would guess the first day this headware was ordered.

            I dunno. Can nanoseconds be measured on a timeclock?

              What is smaller than a nanosecond anyways? 'Cause that's about how long it'll last at my store if they came up with something similar to use in a grocery store setting.

              More like somebody will be tempted to take that torture device and shove it up the designer's netheregions sideways until she's tasting the tip of that microphone on her tonsils.

              Why no, I didn't see what happened . . .

                Picoseconds, which is 1/1000 microseconds, followed by femtoseconds & attoseconds.

                  Didn't I see something like this in the movie "A Clockwork Orange"?

                  This idea ranks right up there with the idea of replacing chairs in office cubicles with toilets, thereby replacing the need for bathroom breaks :P

                    So is the Sun like Weekly World News, or is this for real?

                    Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.

                            Oi, that's a way better idea than this one. After all, if someone's camping in your cubicle, not letting you work, you can just let one rip to make them leave!

                              Don't joke - some retail establishments in Argentina require their workers to wear diapers to reduce on bathroom breaks.
