Imagine the Rule

I can hear this image.
I'm sad you didn't go for "tape rule" as the title
- Would have been good but wanted people to imagine numerous horrible things these tape measures could produce
Ah, yes, what a nice way to be sliced into a thousand pieces at once if you trip. Even more fun if they get knocked out of their retention mode.
Is there a rubbing alcohol dispenser that sprays from the adjacent room after you go through? In case the first set of blood-curdling screams aren't loud enough.
- Just use a bunch of sewing tape measures. They're flexible, and not sharp.
  Plus, they come in all sorts of colours.
DiWHY
- ATBGE
  
  GABDAHLI!
Perfect for if you want to stick it to the man by spending most of your unnecessarily long workday manipulating the entrance to your office!
- I bet if you put some automation behind it with a raspberry pi or something this would be pretty cool. Program some different doorways etc..
  Thing is, it's really not private enough to make a difference aside of looking and being cool to show to someone.
  
  That sounds either expensive, or very unreliable. If you're unlucky, both.
  
  Ooh, that's actually a pretty good idea. But it would require each "tape" to have its own motor, right?
- Until a coworker hits the retract button, scaring the shit out of you as it rapidly retracts back into itself while making a racket.
  
  That's true for everything in life, though.
This is…. This is…. The stupidest thing ive ever seen.
She is like half the size, how is she reaching that?
- motorized high heels.
- She... she... she might have stood on that office chair.
  
  Then they'd have to mark this NSFW
Imagine walking through 20 sharp edged metal tape measures at once. What a fun experience
Trust me man, it'll look great! Yes, I am an engineer, why do you ask?
Don't trip
This is setting up a Final Destination death.
If my company would produce those things, I would totally suggest this
