I witnessed a life hack in action today while helping my brother move into an apartment in Biloxi! A resident didn't want to carry his garbage bag all the way to the dumpster, so he put it on the hood of his SUV and drove it down the parking lot.

El Estrago Bonito posted:This is 100% still a thing. Long con jobs still work and lot's of physical security red teams do long scale pen testing to help people protect against them. If you can rent and furnish something there are actually very few people who will question you. Nobody asks "hey are you really a doctor?" when you get a custom plaque made for your faux office, especially if you're impersonating someone in an industry that's already rife with quacks and liars (chiro, massage, acupuncture, etc). Also it's very easy to research what words are controlled and regulated and for you to functionally present yourself using very deceptive terms. It's pretty easy, for instance, to get a not-really-a-real doctorate in Theology from sketchy politically motivated evangelical institutions, once you do that you can, for instance, in most places call yourself a "counselor" or a "life coach" (terms that, unlike "therapist", are not protected in many places or beholden to industry standards or boards) and quasi-legally append Dr. to the front of your name. After that you can basically function as a therapist but without any of the legal or ethical requirements normally placed on people in those professions. If you get backed against a wall you can say that you're focused on religious counseling for theological matters and there honestly isn't a lot of most cities and states can do to stop you unless you really really gently caress up (ie rape, murder, tax fraud, etc). like this makes me want to scam people into getting actual medical treatment, bill myself as a naturopath or whatever quackery. tell people to get medical treatment and then provide a b.s. detoxifying regimen to make them feel better about it "nono honey it's ok get your kid vaccinated but that night tape beets to the bottom of his feet and it will suck out all the autism"

Hurt Whitey Maybe posted:"I'm a consultant here to trim some fat, can you show me where ___________ is?" No, that's going to wake any low level employee the gently caress up, and they'll remember you and be way too helpful. Also, consultants are never that direct. You want to be whatever that environment's equivalent of the homeless guy sleeping in the bus stop is.

Your best chance to get past security is be 30 or older and dressed formal as gently caress, calmly walking in and nodding along the way with a stern look. That being said, chances are pretty slim anywhere unless you are desperate to take a poo poo in 90s Lithuanian agriculture ministry.

The part everyone fails to mention is you need a decent acting skill to pull off the level of mundanity needed because everyone is going to be super helpful to the noticeably nervous deliveryman and you'll keep digging yourself further into a over-specification hole.

Upton Sinclair became the first investigative journalist for his book The Jungle by just taking off his hat and jacket, and walking through several US factories in his shabby shirt and tie carrying his simple lunch bucket. Nobody ever questioned who he was or what he was doing there.

El Estrago Bonito posted:This is a pretty great talk about cons if people are interested in that kind of thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K6FXe5XcHs The Razzle Dazzle game described got me curious, because he said it was impossible to win, which sounded strange if I understood the details correctly. After searching around, I found a site that did the math, and it turns out that it's technically possible to win. It is the doubling bets that make the game impossible in practice - long before you hit the winning score, you will most likely be forced to betting all the money that exists in the entire world. There's still a non-zero chance of getting the prize without the doubling bets bankrupting you, but the probability of that is probably something like winning five Powerball jackpots in a row. Good life hack: Don't play carnie games.

You forgot the key part where the con artist quickly changes the number of points allocated to the player without them noticing, preventing them from ever getting the ten or however many points needed to win. That's what makes it actually impossible.

That's what makes it actually impossible. They don't cheat at the end, since people become a lot more careful when they think they're close to winning - demanding to do their own totals etc. With the game in its natural un-cheated state it is practically impossible to get any points.

Apart from the part where he's a massive tool and goes 'SEE THOSE FIVE LAPTOPS ON THE DESKS? I JUST STOLE THEM ALL!' Yes, you can wander around an office looking lost in a Courier outfit but I think if you have five laptops stuffed under your arm someone might get suss.
