I'd have some difficulty finding the offender, but one way or another he (she?) worked for MTV.FredGarvin said:Can I slap who did this?
Well, let's see if it's analagous: this lock secured the roof access trap door of "The Real World: Philadelphia" apartment. So I guess it was it was intended to keep the cast members off the roof. So...animals...pen... yeah, maybe it fits...Moonbear said:What was that supposed to be locking? I can think of a few situations where that wouldn't be complete idiocy, one of them being to lock an animal pen or stall. Especially when I worked with goats, they could open any latch you'd put on their pen door, so we had to resort to padlocks. This presents an obvious safety problem in case of fire if you need to release animals quickly.

FredGarvin said:From a safety standpoint, they would get reamed for that. In a real emergency, you would, most like, not be able to do a lock combination. We go through this crap in an industrial environment all the time. There has to be an emergency exit that is unobstructed.
Pengwuino said:If you wanted something that could be easily opened by a human yet impossible for any other creature, why not just one of those hitch-like locks? YOu know where its kind of like a chain but one end of the chain has a hitch to it where you pull down this metal lever and the chain link opens up and when you released it, it closes again. Not sure how else i can describe it lol but i think you understand the simplicity of the system.
Moonbear said:Our solution was to hang the key on a nearby wall that was out of reach of the goats, but a combination lock with the combination posted would have done the job too.
jimmysnyder said:Keeping the key out of reach of the goats was a wise move. The thing with the combination won't work though unless you keep the posting where the goats can't see it.
I don't understand, the lock is attached to one of those plastic tie things and isn't actually in use. Is someone supposed to use it to lock something in the event of an emergency? What are they supposed to lock and why?russ_watters said:The English language does not contain words to adequetely describe the depth of the idiocy in this pic...
