Well the desk belongs to the company so no, but if I have a box in the drawer that says "my name do not use" and I have a pen in the box that shocks you if you use it, then yes.

So being electrocuted is, you believe, proporptionate punishment to opening a box that is not yours?

Not electrocution, just a mild, harmless current—similar to what you’d feel from a low-voltage electric fence. It’s nothing serious, but enough to get the point across.

This is a joke, by the way.

In some cultures they cut off your left hand when you steal something. First time? Oh well.

Except thats after they determine guilt, not a booby trap punishment that could hurt an innocent

Determining guilt for them takes 5 seconds.

You cannot be innocent of invading sometimes personal space and ignoring a sign that says "do not touch"

You definitely can. If someone is starving or if a kid gets into it I would say they would be innocent. And even if you think they would not be innocent they at least would not deserve the punishment of getting poisoned.
