    I was at a concert at an amphitheater. The headlining band was about to come on and I was at the front of the lawn with some other guys that I didn’t know. I suggested that when the band takes the stage, if we all jump the bars to be right by the stage, reasoning that they can’t catch all of us. They agreed to jump with me. They didn’t and I got caught by a security guard who knew exactly what was about to happen.

    He was angry and roughed me up more than what was reasonable. On the way to kick me out of the venue, I informed him that I wanted to file a complaint about him. He took me to their admin office to write a complaint. He didn’t tell the admin lady that I needed to be kicked out after and she just let me go when I was done.

    I re-entered the show at the back of the lawn on the other end of the venue, far away from where he was posted. I got to stay for the rest of the show. Technically illegal because at that point I was trespassing, but nobody knew to enforce it except for one guy who didn’t see me.

    Climbed the fences at the state fair with some friends.

    Found out I could GPS spoof my signal for my work app due to faulty security measures. I could sign into it, enable the spoof app, then “start” my round and repeat when I need to log that I “visited” a location. It was for a security guard gig at a shitty company. Exploitative practices and low pay, literally no days off, had to use my vehicle but no gas or maintenance reimbursement. So, I said fuck em. It was during COVID, the position had no oversight, and they had already fucked me twice over before. All the buildings were empty anyway. I just checked in on them when I felt and fibbed all the logs for what they actually wanted from me.

    At a waterpark once we were passing through the gates and the man who was checking our tickets and scanning our bags pointed at a button and said “by pressing this button, you are agreeing to our terms of service.” We didn’t get a chance to read it, so I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t apply. Never before or since then have I seen that kind of scare tactic in real life.

        There was a specific version of the AOL installer back in the late '90s that would still let you install it and sign on even if you declined the EULA. It’s doubtful that anyone noticed or cared, but a friend of mine noticed it and I’ve pathologically tried clicking “no” on every EULA prompt ever since just to see if whatever piece of software will let me in anyway. Every once in a while I find one that does, but it’s pretty rare.

        I imagine in this case somebody fucked up and just copy-pasted the “yes” button on the form without bothering to change its action in addition to its text. Who knows how that would stand up in court, and probably nobody’s ever had the opportunity to find out anyway.
