So here you can tell if something odd or creepy happened to you in your daily life.

Two days ago I went to eat lunch in a nearby Burger King. The receipt has a door code (five digits) in case you need to go to the toilet, as the toilets are only for paying customers. I needed to go to toilet afterwards, at which point I noticed the toilet door code in the receipt was exactly the same as the door code to our apartment house. WTF?

Logical person as I am, I've tried to find some sane explanation why that is (I have hard time believing it is a mere coincidence):

1. The code lock looked similar as in our apartment house, so is that possibly some preset default code by the manufacturer? Then again, I would be surprised if our apartment house housing company had decided to use such default value and not change it, that kinda defeats the purpose of such lock, doesn't it?

2. Maybe some employee in that Burger King, whose job was to come up with a lock code for the toilets, is living in the same apartment house as me, and he/she thought it would be kinda nifty to use the same code as at home?

A mystery that will never be solved...

And to use the old quote that implies that one is reading too much into something, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar" :-)
I was at the theater and the guy next to me started jerking off.



It wouldn't have bothered me but he was using my hand.

holy shit! ...I mean, you don't say?
It must have been early in the day, as there was zero traffic, and no one else around. Only one car driving down the street, and on the pavement (on the opposite side of the street) a guy with a bag over his shoulder was walking in the opposite direction. In the middle of the street, they both stopped. The guy in the car opened the door, while the guy on the pavement put his bag on the ground and took out a battery-operated toy car. He put the toy car on the street, and pushed it in the other guys direction. The guy in the car picked up the toy car when it got to him, closed the door, and drove away. The guy on the pavement picked up his bag, and walked away in the opposite direction, as if nothing happened. Neither of them said a word. I have no clue.

That's what Bill Clinton said to Monica Lewinsky.

I'm sure even she would have objected once a lighter was applied to one end! :-)

Well you should have said something! I just figured you were some random guy with a weak grip.

I've been topped. XD And it wasn't even close.

You have used that one before.

Only about 200 times. Thanks for noticing. :P

Well, if the code is not something trivial like 00000 or 12345 you would assume that it's randomly generated per case and it's absolutely okay to keep using the default one. I think the theory that it's the default code is quite probable and somewhat analogous to several cases I've experienced with regular locks where two adjacent locks by the same manufacturer just happened to use the same pattern (or whatever you call it) even though there are presumably thousands, at the very least hundreds of them. Just several weeks ago I had a new apartment door with two locks installed and all included keys fit in both locks.

Sorry, but I only made it this far before your story started creeping me out too much to read on.

What, right there in the theater? Seems you like to hang out in some very shady places.
