why do most people prefer to do ironing while standing? adjust your chair to the level of the iron board, sit down and gently - very gently - sway the iron up and down. use a chair with wheels so you can move around if you need to. that's all it takes but most people do it the hard way standing and pressing hard on the iron board as they lean forward. why?

head-spanking chairs for shorter meetings
if time is money, then it's time to put an end to people who talk talk talk and talk talk taaaaalk...i don't care if there are people who love their voice too much or if they think they have important things to say. talking time gets fixed, stays same for everyone and is kept short. only the chairperson of the meeting can extend time. if time's up and someone is still taaaaalking he gets spanked by the head-spanking chair, flaaaap!! ok, what's next, what about no one is allowed to cover their neck with cushion. bare necks will make for great spanking sounds. those who become rednecks are out of the meeting :)

Ridiculous way to monitor weight
What can be more ridiculous than a weight monitor chair that beeps, vibrates, cracks, moans or otherwise improvises its frustration with every new bite that adds a few extra unwelcome grams to your total weight. Basically, you sit on the chair to eat your lunch/dinner. The chair measures your weight before you indulge your appetite. 90 kilos. Right! Why don't you have a few more bites? 90.5 kilos, Silence..91, beep..91.2, small vibrations..91.5, cracking sounds, 92..loud moans..93, all modes of frustration-expression set loose..100, chair breaks down..there can be many ridiculous ways to lose weight, but few funnier than the one of which I speak. I rest my case..

I've seen it at Singapore airport. It is free for everyone to use and get a good rest or sleep from a long flight. I think they should have them at every major airport with the option of reserving your chair online either when you book your ticket or anytime before you arrive at the airport. This way you will not have to wait to get a chair when the airport is crowded.

Office chair turned bed for busy people

I made this thought for people like me who work at the office until very late. A very anatomic chair that unfolds and turns into a bed so that you can sleep a few hours when working late in the office. A lot of people that work in finance or in other industries pull all nighters at the office but there is no bed to rest for even an hour!
Some of my colleagues asked me how I came up with it. They thought I got the idea from traveling on business class where the seats turn into beds. Actually that wasn't the case.
I commute to work by train every day. The other day an old man came in, he seemed to have difficulty walking so I stood up to give him my seat but he refused. He then started to de-assemble his walking stick and turned it into a small tripod on top of which there was a round plastic that served as the seat of a chair! He sat till his stop came and then folded it back and went out.
I thought that was awesome. If they can turn walking sticks into chairs for old people, why not make office chairs for the army of young professionals who rarely go back home to sleep due to overwork?
