2-Way Mirror - forwarded eMail PSA from my mom...
Can you tell when you are in a hotel room, restroom, motel etc. with a mirror whether it is in fact a mirror or 2-way glass?
Here's how:
I thought it was quite interesting! And I know in about 30 seconds you're going do what I did and find the
nearest mirror... Do you know how to determine if a mirror is 2-way or not? This is not to scare you, but to
make you aware. A policewoman who travels all over the U.S. and gives seminars and techniques for
businesswomen passed this on. When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how
many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a
2-way mirror (i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them)? There have been many cases of people installing
2-way mirrors in female changing rooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it.
So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at? Just conduct this
simple
Test: Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your
fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail
DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, FOR IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR!
"No Space, Leave the Place" So remember, every time you see a Mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything.
Remember: "No Space, Leave the Place"
