A typical Punishment Detail in the military, or otherwise strict organization, in media is scrubbing the floor with a toothbrush (possibly the offender's own), however impractical it may be. Sometimes, a person will opt to use someone else's toothbrush, especially someone they're not particularly fond of. Truth in Television, as a stiff-bristled toothbrush is great for grouting or small stains. A Sub-Trope of With This Herring. May overlap with The Dreaded Toilet Duty. |

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Learning Curve," Tuvok orders Crewman Chell to degauss a transporter pad with a micro-resonator. Tuvok intends that Chell will learn patience from the twenty-six-hour task; Torres says it would be done in five minutes with a magneton scanner. Exactly why Tuvok is doing this is something of an Idiot Ball, as he's supposed to be giving the ex-Maquis crewmembers a crash course in Starfleet operations and protocol, not instructing at Starfleet Academy where they can spend years breaking down and reconstructing recruits. All he does is anger the trainees with what seem to be meaningless exercises. | |
