Society & Culture Interesting discoveries...

[radiojake]

So today I discovered that in broad daylight while both the Australian Open and Cricket is on, I could walk down to the MCG (a mere 10 metres from the 'terrorist fence') with a huge set of bolt cutters and set about snapping off a bike lock in order to liberate a bike and not have a single person say anything to me or even look twice..

It probably took a good three minutes to complete the deal (it was a tough lock), but besides a couple of people actually inside the 'G on the top level looking down on me through the big glass wall/window (I waved), no one else gave two shits that it looked like I was stealing the bike...

I just assumed someone would have said something....


Anyone else discovered a phenomenon that wasn't what you expected?


*context*

I was working at the 'G on Thursday setting up merch for the BBL final tonight, and at some point during the day I lost my goddamn keys (house keys/bike lock keys etc) and despite wandering around for 2 hours re-tracing my steps and reporting them to lost and found, I've had no luck - It meant that my bike was stuck there over night as it was locked up, and that's why I returned this morning with bolt cutters...

Have thought the same thing having to break into my own car with the keys in the ignition.

Have also accidentally worked out that heaps of shit doesn't activate the alarm at shopping center self serve lanes. Even if it does, ive been told you just leave as someone else does and the attendant is busy.

When you go to Subi...domain...whatever its called. You can pay $10 for secure parking at a school. I went to a gold coast v eagles game a couple of years ago and did this "secure parking thing". Left the game just as the 3rd qtr was starting...walked straight up to the gate...undid the lock...got my car out and closed it back up again...not 1 person came and said anything...I didnt even see anybody...

Why did you leave?

Why did you leave?

Was hungover on and on the wing where you get the sun all day...just wasnt a day to be at the footy.

And if you stick frozen peas inside before putting it on your knob you get the 'knobbler' bump/grind effect far cheaper than you'd by them fancy shmancy frangers for.

If you get stuck in line for the "terrorist fence" at the G just pick a spot clear of guards or cops and jump it. Nobody gives a shit.

Supplementary exams at Curtin universities Math department reuse the same exam paper you sat like a fortnight earlier.
And not only can you bring home your notes after the first exam but you can still bring notes to the sup exam.

At the boxing day test I discovered you could bring not one but 3 knives* into the G and nobody at the terrorist fence would stop you. Increased security indeed


*my friend brought left over bickies and cheese... 3 different kinds of cheese = 3 knives

well (n+1)^2 - n^2 = 2n+1

That doesn't make any sense to me.
