Some places just give you mints

found on Acid Cow

I've never encountered a freebie quite like this unlocked ATM, but now that I know it's a possibility I'll keep my eyes open.

Fuckin' slide bolts, how do they work?

from here and here (image source)

When you don't know how security works, not only are you likely to use it wrong, you're likely to install it wrong too.

That's not suspicious at all

found on Izismile

Somehow I think that bag is going to get checked a lot by security personnel. Watch the drugs be in the neck pillow.

How to stop blind porch pirates

found on Izismile

A person would have to be blind to not see those packages. Hiding things under the mat doesn't work so well when they're bigger than the mat.

I think you mean Wonder Woman's jet

found on Reddit

While stealth is certainly a desirable quality in an adversarial situation, actual invisibility has some logistical problems, like how to avoid running into the damn thing.

At least the stand is locked

from here (image source)

It's really hard to have good security without attention to detail. Even tiny errors can void all the benefits you hoped to achieve.

A very public washroom

found on Reddit

Transparent stalls means no one is willing to do their business there, which in turn means no one is going to "steal" the toilet paper, so it seems there's no need to provide any. Funny how the unintended consequences of a lack of privacy work.

Aren't there already enough ways to lose your keys?

found on Funny Junk

Physical keys, encryption keys, passwords, etc. all have a tendency to get lost or stolen. Don't design things in such a way that losing them becomes even easier.

When your key tries to do it's best Excalibur impression

I kinda think that if the lock is that easy to remove, it wasn't adding much security in the first place.

It doesn't matter if the scam is obvious

found on Izismile

Even when all the signs are there and they seem abundantly clear, people will still fall for the scam.

No toddlers better try to steal my trike

from here (image source)

Thinking like an attacker can often highlight weaknesses in your defenses. I don't think it would take very long to identify an obvious one here.

I worry about his firewall

from here and here (image source)

Sandboxing is a security technique that works by isolating things rather than blocking them, but the above is not quite how you accomplish it. There's special software (or in some cases operating systems) that do it.

Literally "under" surveillance

found on Izismile

By the looks of it, the literal interpretation is the only one that's accurate in this case. The camera appears to have sustained damage so there is likely no surveilling going on.

You're gonna need more hands

from here and here (image source)

It's an effective technique if you don't have much to hold on to, but it doesn't scale that well without the aid of locks and safes to serve as substitute hands.

How not to make friends down at the station

found on Izismile

It amazes me that people not only think it's a good idea to do things that are illegal but to also do so while wearing a target on their back.

Your face palm is your password

Let's see tech start-ups scrape that into their biometric databases.

Who wood do such a thing?

found on Reddit

Based on the comments it was probably a case of an item being previously purchased and then returned with something other than the original item in the box and then that got resold to this unfortunate soul. Keep that possibility in mind when you buy things online.

The secret to surviving office life

found on The Art Of Trolling

It goes without saying that you shouldn't tell anyone. It's a secret for a reason. Someone could definitely get in trouble for that. I don't think they're doing anything wrong, but they definitely have something to hide.

Nathan Sees All

from here and here (image source)

Actually I'm not sure how much this person actually sees with so many cameras pointed in the same direction. It seems like there's a lot of overlap but maybe not as much coverage as there could be.

Sit, stay, respect my privacy

from here (image source)

Teaching your pets to respect your privacy is good for your (as it gives you practice in establishing and enforcing boundaries), it's good for them (especially if you respect their privacy in return), and obviously it can even be good for property value.
