Hello...Newman
The bank teller tubes are he most fantastic invention EVER! I want my refrigerator to have a remote control, that way I can hit a button for a beverage, it dispenses it to the teller tube and the teller tube drops it in my hand... Sandwiches might be more difficult, but not if they were premade.
You're right about the coat rack thing. I don't know why law firms haven't figured out that people bring outer garments that need to be hung up during the day. I've worked in a few places that had an individual closet for each person. What luxury!
It wasn't very many years ago that I shopped in an old department store that still used pneumatic tubes. There were no cash registers out on the floor, and all sales slips and payments went zipping along by tube upstairs to the central money place. And then the receipt and change would come zipping back to the customer in only a minute or two.
You have bank drive-through windows? I haven't seen one of those in a very long time. I use a drive-through ATM.
Yeah, some of us at my office were talking last week about how we wish we had one of those tube systems, because it would be so awesome just to be able to shoot things over to each other without getting up. And then someone was like, "Um, isn't that what e-mail is for?" Stupid sensible people always ruining our fun.
And Tim, you may want to check out the Beer Launching Fridge that was featured on Letterman this week. http://www.duke.edu/~jwc13/

I think Brazil, Terry Gilliam's masterpiece, used those tubes, too.
I find your ideas amusing, mostly, but the corner-fitting trash can is brilliant! Perfect for waste paper basketball bank shots. It must already exist, but if not, run with it.
As for the cubicle door, it would be better to have a cubicle half-wall like along a hockey bench that you can climb over at 5 pm like during a line change. Go go go!
I'm not coordinated to swing over half-walls, but I'm all about coat racks and pneumatic tubes. Just don't try and put rolled change in those puppies at the bank, you can break the system.
I know! One time I put a bunch of rolled coins in the tube and the lady came over the intercom and told me I had to come inside.
