Standing there with your eyes half closed and your finger tapping the side of your nose doesn't do the trick for you? |
|
| |
That just sends me up the nearest chimney. |
|
| |
It gets annoying after a while. |
|
| |
If you don't know, just say so and stop wasting my time. |
|
| |
I've seen one of these - but maybe it
was yours... + |
|
| |
where's the suspense in that ? |
|
| |
The perfectly useless, creative, invention
that suits the bakery wonderfully. + |

(By my calculation that took precisely 17,
219 grains of sand, or exactly 15 seconds
to type.) |

Whenever I have to make a difficult sell, I bring coffee with me. I do fundraising so for me it's a habit now of saying, "I think you might be comfortable with a gift of a million five," *sip.* |
|

...After the minute is up, you can say "I am not responding. I have encountered an error and need to close." Then run away at top speed and go home. |
|
| |
+ I like it, but shouldn't it be called a *minuteglass*? |
|
| |
If you call it that then everyone would assume it should minute, as in teeny-tiny, and complain that it's far too big. |
|
| |
I think there's a bunch of people out there who'd buy one just to put it on their chest so they could tap it and announce "One to beam up" then stand there like they're expecting to leave. |
|
| |
I need this. Also, give the sand a bright color so that it attracts attention. I can't stand people watching me when I'm thinking! |
|
| |
version 2 would be a vista installation 'progress bar', in LED, that never actually gets anywhere... |
|
| |
Can it have a little speaker at the back which amplifies the sound of the sand to make it more ominous. |
|
| |
[marklar] of course.
For best results, you could have two badges, one for each nipple; when one got close to timing out, you could flip the other one. |
|
| |
They would have to emit a low rising tone of course for that extra element of aural suspense. |
|
| |
[+] A semi-bun. I like the idea better if I, the question asker, get to set the amount of time that I'm willing to stand and wait for you to sort out an answer to a fairly simple question. |
|
| |
I would like there to be an accented violin chord when the last grain hits the bottom. |
|
| |
The minute timer in my Perquackey game tends to stick. What if the wearable one does? Won't it look a bit rude to be tapping at the thing, snarling "Hurry up already!"? |
|
| |
//After the minute is up, you can say "I am not responding. I have encountered an error and need to close." Then run away at top speed and go home// |
|
| |
I do that sometimes. But instead of running, I either stand perfectly still or just collapse. All the technology I wear makes this belivable. Sadly, they usually just laugh and/or kick me in disbelieve. |
|
| |
maybe it could play the "jeopardy" music while it counts. |
|
| |
I like the idea of the pin but made with a LCD or tiny plasma screen displaying the hour glass. You could set your desired time for the full color video display to reach the proverbial bottom. It could also play a variety of downloadable "waiting" tunes, and only retail about $14,569.99 |

try being a woman. works everytime and you don't even need neon sand. |
