They are mere employees, their status no higher than that of the cleaning lady but they act as if they own the place. You stand there waiting to give your order and they ignore you. They pretend to keep order but they serve whoever they want first. When you talk to them to remind them it's your turn, they give you that eat-shit look that says I know but I'll serve you when I want. Then they turn around and serve others, usually girls who came to the bar after. Next time I go to that bar I'll bring my own drinks and ask that lowlife to throw them away for me. That should remind this prick of who he is and what he does. Some bartenders are so full of shit they forget that.

Turn the page eye-sensor

I was looking at some books on a bookstore yesterday and made the mistake to be standing close to the door.
It was very windy and when someone suddenly opened the door to come in, wind would blow in, shuffle the pages and make me lose the page I was reading.
This is when this idea hit me. Don't know if it is difficult to do technologically. Feel free to brainstorm your thoughts on how it could be done or improved!
Here it is:
What if there was an eye-sensor on books that would read the movement of the eye reading the page and only when the eye would fall on the last word of the page, then and only then it would turn the pages for us?
The sensor could be transparent, like a thin film on the inside cover of the book, maybe glued on the top left or right of the cover inside. It will have in its memory the layout of every page and at every second it would match the position of the eyes with the layout of the book.
You would not have to use your hands to turn pages and the sensor would remember the last page you were reading, so when you open the book again it will automatically take you there!
