skylady Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Do you know the difference? 2-Way Glass Image MIRROR IMAGE A Mirror or a 2-Way Glass? How can you tell when you are in a room, restroom, motel etc. with a mirror or a 2-way glass? Here's how: I thought it was quite interesting! And I know in about 30 seconds you're going to do what I did and find the nearest mirror. Do you know how to determine if a mirror is 2-way or not? A policewoman who travels all over the US 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 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 GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE! 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: Ladies: Share this with your girlfriends, sisters, daughters, etc. Men: Share this with your wives, daughters, daughters-in-law, mothers, girlfriends and/or friends.
alice29 Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 wow, very nice post so informative. i didn't know about it before. i will share it to my family and friends so whenever they go out they will do this fingernail test first. B) thanks!
Andry Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 @alice Yes, that's really cool. I will share this to my sisters and my friends, I think they will surprise to know that.
skylady Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 @alice Yes, that's really cool. I will share this to my sisters and my friends, I think they will surprise to know that. Sure happy you members like this, at a public bathroom or dressing room, always check the mirror !!!
alice29 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 i wonder if celebrities also know this kind of test in the mirrors. :biggrin: i hope they do. i think people invading other's privacy are sick and crazy. :rolleyes:
neng Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 looks like i am learning here in the lounge section i was posting before here but this thread never put on first thats why i was not aware of it anyways thanks for that very informative one skylady
Andry Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 @neng Yes, that's right. It's really informative thread in here, we can see many unique things in here although sometimes there is common thing too.
neng Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 yes andry i was not aware of the difference between the two mirrors anyways at least now i know what to do
pjbabia Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 yes andry i was not aware of the difference between the two mirrors anyways at least now i know what to do actually me too, i find it hard at first or even now. still i am still trying to know how is it done. I thank you all for the sharing.
alice29 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 even in the grocery store they have this kind of 2-way glass. i remember a movie of jacky chan being shown about this. and even the grocery near us have it but i'm not sure if that's also a 2-way. i just have a strong feeling it is. :biggrin:

Andry Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 @pjbabia I think it usually used in police room, usually in room which is used to investigate suspect. Am I right? I looked that in movies hahaha...
alice29 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 @pjbabia I think it usually used in police room, usually in room which is used to investigate suspect. Am I right? I looked that in movies hahaha... yes you're right. i saw a lot of it different shows and movies especially in CSI: crime scene investigation! but i just dont know if the suspect knows that hes being watched. :biggrin:
pjbabia Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 yes,! right! but i have not been to any police precint. i never get caught stealing you know...LOL....well that is one good example of two way mirror. i remember CSI tv series and also Criminal Minds which used to be my favorite..
alice29 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 yeah me too i've never been to any police station, it must be scary there. and i never had any criminal records lol. so no chance of testing their 2-way mirrors there. :biggrin:
pjbabia Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 why not try to violate any city law in your local city, by that.. you get to jail for a while.. make sure your crime is not grave so that you will not get imprison for a long time... then share to us what you see about the two way mirrors...
alice29 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 hahaha, no way i cant imagine myself being there. i rather choose to die than be there. :wacko: i'll just find a police officer and ask him about it. :biggrin:
Andry Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 yes you're right. i saw a lot of it different shows and movies especially in CSI: crime scene investigation! but i just dont know if the suspect knows that hes being watched. :biggrin: Yes, I have the same mind with you. I think the criminal will know if he is being watched so it's kind of useless thing. I don't know why police still used it. Maybe it's prevention action so the suspect won't know person who told him as suspect.
pjbabia Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 suspects inside are aware that they are being watched from the other side.. except maybe for crazy criminals or primitive people. they are even aware that there is surveilance camera installed inside the room.
alice29 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 i guess they use it for studying the suspect reactions to questions hes being asked, so it will be easier for them to know if he's guilty of the crime. am i making sense lol? :rolleyes:
