Time-lock self restraint box

September 9th, 2009 4 comments

Problem: We all have things we do that we would like to do a bit less often.

Solution: Put them in our lovely time-lock self restaint box. It’s a sturdy metal box with an electronic lock on it. The box has a time-lock on it, and can only be opened after a set length of time has passed. Once opened, the box will make a loud noise after one minute to point out that it should be closed again. Once it’s closed again, the owner has to wait for that time period to elapse before it can be opened again. These settings can only be changed with the use of a special numeric key which should be given to the box owner’s mother, or someone else the owner will be unwilling to phone after a few beers.

The box would be handy for recreational narcotics, like cigarettes, but could equally easily be used to contain food, credit cards, money allocated to a particular thing or pets. I’m joking about the pets.
