Ytlaya posted:^^^ Yeah, there have been a couple times that I started trying to unlock some car that wasn't mine, though I imagine I would have noticed before actually getting seated in the car if I somehow managed to open it. Depending on the make and model, there are only so many unique keys that a company cuts per car, with a statistical model that says given the variation of cars in the US, the probability that two of the same keys will be parked next to each other and also belong to cars that are the same color is low enough that it's a risk they are willing to take. The same thing happens with garage door openers, at least the ones that have the remote that clips to your car's visor, except a much lower variable, like 1 in 20 instead of 1 in 300 being the same since garages don't move. This is an issue; however, if you are a contractor building a subdivision and you get a deal on a lot of 50 for all of your houses on a block, you should probably test them to make sure the matching ones aren't neighbors.

The keys for new car have these chips in them nowadays that should prevent starting the wrong car, I think? At least I hope that's why they charge a fuckton of money for replacement keys, anyhow.

Not so much the case anymore since openers haven't used dip-switch coding in a long time. Granted there's still weaknesses in the current solution, but a random remote triggering your garage door opener isn't one of them anymore.

FrozenVent posted:The keys for new car have these chips in them nowadays that should prevent starting the wrong car, I think? The latest plastic key fobs have little circuits in them that are energized by a radio signal from the car's computer when inserted into the car, and send a signal back to the car. The keys look identical from the outside and may still fit in the ignition, but the car will refuse to turn on or even be totally immobilized by inserting the wrong one. This removes the threat of key copying from most thieves, as you'd need to perfectly duplicate the circuitry in the key, and you can't simply force the ignition cylinder to turn..

On some old Ford models, yes. Both my neighbor and my family had an 84 Escort and both sets of keys worked in both cars.

Thugquote:This American Troper was hanging with a bunch a friends at a university known for its large International students, most of whom were playing cards. One kid began a video conference with his parents in Shri Lanka. We didn't hear the parent's end of the conversation, but the friend informed us that his mother had seen the three of us (this troper being the smallest American in the crowd at 200 lbs) and was concerned that he might have quit school and joined a group of American Thugs. We all found this hilarious (especially since the card game being played was Magic) and insisted on being in frame during all his conference calls, vaguely talking about things in the trunks of our cars that are starting to smell and need to be gotten rid of.. Just goes to show you, it might be a negative stereotype, but Americans do find it quite funny. Actor quote:This Troper had a similar experience during a production at a community theatre, for a production that contained a scene that ended in a fistfight. The troper and the other actor involved had a rather deep mutual hatred that had taken more than one production to develop(In fact, it was half the reason they were taken on for the roles, it wasn't exactly a secret), and come final night, they were told to give it their all for the performance. Most of the actors gave brilliant performances, until the fight scene. The troper and the Actor had been spitting their lines with cold hatred - but final night was a spectacular one, with both deviating from the script into harsher and harsher insults, until finally the first punch was thrown, as per the script, and the fight was on. And on, and on, and on. Two other actors actually had to come on stage with vaguely convincing lines and pull them apart, bloodied and battered, just to stop the fight before it got to the point where one or both of them would be unable to continue the play. Thespian quote:This troper was performing a scene from Taming of the Shrew for the scene competition at a Thespian Conference when she was a freshman. Kate is supposed to absolutley despise Petruchio from the first time she met him. This troper, while very good friends with her scene partner, never fully realized how irritating the actor was until they started rehearsals (most of them , alone). He wouldn't allow her to slap him (it was in the script, and probably the only reason they did the scene because she'd slapped him previously at a dance) because he claimed child abuse, put his hands all over her whenever he possibly could, and all sexual references apparently became real. Needless to say she was on her last nerve come performance time because they had been doing it over and over for two months. She pushed and shoved as hard as she could to get away from him whenever possible, made the most horrified faces she could at any sexual reference, and come slap time.... it had NEVER been more satisfying. What's irritating today is that now he ADMITS he was a dick, but still is some-what the same person.

LITERALLY A BIRD posted:
One time, I saw a post on tumblr a guy in my class made about another classmate claiming she wrote a paper about a shipping Holmes and Watson. In reality, she wrote about the homosexual undertones in the Sherlock Holmes canon, and she did get an A+ on it. What the guy didn't know was the me and a couple of other people (including the girl) knew that it was his account, and upon further investigation, I learned he was really into mother/son incest porn. So, I decide to make a presentation of my own on the connection between fetishizing the mother/son relationship and general sexual insecurity, using an "anonymous" tumblr user as an example. I won't bore you with the details, but I also got an A on the presentation, and everyone gave me a standing ovation. Well, almost everyone, the guy nearly broke down in tears, and the few other people who knew whose account it was were too busy holding back their laughter. The whole thing also got me more acquainted with the girl, who I always thought was a cool person, and we started dating a month after it happened. We'll be married in three months.

A badly placed slap will cause some terrible ringing in the ears. It'd also probably be pretty hard to act if dipshit just slapped the poo poo out of you by accident.
