Mirror or two way glass?

How can you tell when you are in a room, restroom,

motel etc. whether it's 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 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 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

fingernail, then it is a 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, and all the women you know.



Men: Share this with your wives, daughters,

daughters-in-law, mothers, girlfriends and all the women you know.

Jeez, that's twice I've been on Snopes today. That's entirely too much.

If you look at mirrors you know to be these observation mirrors, it's quite obvious that's what they are. I thought everybody could tell just by a quick glance.

I just wonder if the cops think they're fooling anybody with that mirror in the interrogation room. Isn't EVERYBODY aware there is a likelihood that they're being observed? It sure isn't there so the cops can check their hair and tie.
