A technology company has invented a wristband that delivers an electric shock to wearers when they are slacking off from working out.

The Pavlok tracks your daily routine and sleeping patterns and even knows when you're wearing it. It can also send a 340-volt electric jolt to "compel" you to work harder and reach your fitness goals, according to a promotional video for the wristband.

But wouldn't it be cool if the wristband technology could be used to correct annoying behaviors – like shocking people who yap through movies to teach them how to shut up? 

Here are seven ways the technology could be used for some creative behavior modification:

- On loud cellphone talkers: No one in line at Starbucks needs to know how hung over you were at the amazing party none of them enjoyed.

- On people who post too many selfies: Love yourself much? We all know your posting them to Facebook seeking "likes" to boost your self-esteem. 

- On men who keep forgetting a woman's eyes are "up here": You know who you are! All of you! And if you think women don't notice, just be glad the wristbands don't work via mind control. Hope you like your arm extra crispy.

- On drunk texters who message their exes: It's never even a good idea when you're sober. In fact, it's always pathetic. Enough said.

- On women who take too long in the bathroom: For reasons far too numerous to mention, the line for the women's restroom will always be longer than the one for the men's room. But let's move it along. Your hair is fine and your lipstick is too. Get in and get out quickly so others can answer nature's desperate call.

- On spendthrifts: Just because something's on sale doesn't mean you should drop next month's rent on it. Especially when you haven't even kept track of all you spent on cocktails with co-workers the night before. Paying your bills late is not sexy.

- On public transportation seat hogs: Why does your bag need its own seat? Will it get motion sickness if doesn't get the window seat?
