Bosses who are fed up with workers taking too long on the toilet may have a new weapon in their arsenal.
A new toilet designed by the British startup StandardToilet has a downward-sloping seat that's designed to make it unbearably painful to spend more than 5 minutes on the loo, $4.
On its $4, StandardToilet says the toilet is meant to improve efficiency at companies, promising that the uncomfortable seat will discourage employees from using social media while in the bathroom.
"In modern times, the workplace toilet has become private texting and social media usage space," StandardToilet $4 in its press release. "With the advent of flexible zero hour contracts it is easy to see why our StandardToilet can be an asset to a business."
People across the internet have already begun to react to the toilet, mostly with indignation.
StandardToilet did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The StandardToilet retails for between $200 and $650, and began shipping in November.
