Dad's Cab Family Taxi Meter Will Make Your Children Cringe [Novelty Items] (13)
on
Gizmodo (2098) permalink
The Dad's Cab Meter is a fake taxi fare counter for parental chauffeurs, made so they can guilt/embarrass their ingrate children into doing chores for them. The meter incrementally increases the pretend fare and comes with a stack of fare receipts that have chores the kids can do as payment (har har har). It's kinda like those redonkulous moments on The Cosby Show where the entire family would participate in a role-play with some sort ...Shared by AaronTN (21) charris1980 (47) Daniel (13) David (0) gadgetboy (4) Gareth (21) GarthDB (11) joel (5) Keith (7) Kevin Etter (4) rOckY (113) Steve Loopipe (10) Zach (43)- GarthDB said: hahaha

- ScrewTheMan.com said: Guy's approach is a bit extreme- I really don't think I should turn off all of the advanced features on my phone. But it's a good example that the iPhone's standby time can be improved with some customization. We just need an app to support Locations and swap settings like the Macs too.
