What the Hell, WikiHow?

Two important notes, before we begin this:

  1. I did not do any crimes last night.
  2. Everyone seems to be ok.

With that established…

The WikiHow article that comes up when you google “hear through walls glass.” Let’s discuss it.

Yep, normal beginning. Important thing to point out: that the eavesdropping might be illegal. Caveat covered.

Informative. Also, subtle reminder that Apple hears everything. Need that now and then.

Ok, everything covered we wanted to know.

***

Uhh. No thanks, WikiHow. We’re good. Just wanted information on the glass-against-the-wall. No need for power tools.

Wait.

Does that say method two of…of four? There are four methods here? And this is the second one?

Oh no.

Big revelation here: Your neighbor might notice not only the sound of you drilling but also the emergence of a drill bit into their abode. Perceptive creatures, neighbors.

Well, glad that’s over with. Creepy. What kinds of perverts write these things?

Oh no. I forgot there was a third method.

MP3 players record? Did the iPod Nano I had in high school…record me?

DAMMIT, APPLE.

Rule of thumb:

If you’re at the point where you’re using a power drill or grinder on a stethoscope to make sure little microphones can fit inside its earpieces so you can eventually hook it up to an MP3 player that will record your neighbor, either you need to just call the police on that neighbor or they need to call the police on you. Possibly both.

Oh, so now we mention double-glazed walls. Could have led with that, WikiHow.

Thankfully, the third method is done. The fourth method awaits. What could the fourth method possibly be.

Oh, thank God.

Wait a second.

That’s not a method!

“In England, for instance…”

Love the citing of sources, by the way.

Seems like you could have led with all this, WikiHow. And maybe just skipped methods two and three.

To be fair, a very angry person was probably involved earlier if things got to this point.
