Don’t try to pull shenanigans while cleaning a business named BRICKHOUSE SECURITY.

by PS on March 11, 2010

The blog at BrickHouse Security posted an interesting video. Definitely falls into the PublicShame category. Apparently the cleaners decided to vacuum the place like they should have, but instead of moving your plug from room to room, they taped extension cords together. It looks like it catches fire when it gets pinned against a filing cabinet. Now, this is when it falls into the PublicShame category. Instead of putting the fire out and taking responsibility for setting fire to some carpeting on a cement commercial floor and gaining respect at least for not doing what they ended up doing; Yes. They moved the storage cabinet to cover the scorch mark. /facepalm

Nevermind, basically, the company named KDDI Corporation has developed software that can detect the actions of the owner of the mobile phone. The software can discern if they are walking, running, climbing stairs, or apparently if they are cleaning vigorously enough to be deemed necessary by the overlord doing the monitoring.

Guilty or Innocent? Group of students arrested for failing to tip.

November 19, 2009

Unbelievable. A tip is a tip, and shouldn’t be forced on any group. When you get horrible service, you shouldn’t be forced to pay a tip. In this case, the Streisand Effect is going to go into full effect.
Some college students were arrested and have to appear before a judge because they refused to pay [...]
