If I put on my hi-vis, hardhat, and tool pack, then I can go through basically any doors. I also can do things like ask a random employee I've never seen before "What's the door code again?" and they'll just tell me.
Buddy was telling me about a friend of his that accidentally apent like an hour at the wrong company for a job because no one questioned the giy in the hard hat, hi-vis, and clipboard coming in to do maintance.
Yup. I've had that happen before too. I got sent a ticket to fix the HVAC a fast food joint and I thought well, that's convenient because it was right down the street from where I was parked. So I drove over, put up my ladder, climbed up onto the roof, and started working on the airhandler only to find out that nothing was wrong with it. Confused I called the manager who put the ticket in. I then learned that that resturant had another location in that city which I didn't know about and the issue was actually at that other location.
Sometimes you don't even need that much. I was able to get into restricted floors doing a job at the Comcast building by simply waiting for an employee to show up and asking them to badge me in so I could do the thing I was contracted to do. It took security 45 minutes to catch all of us, and I think the guy who contracted us got shit canned shortly thereafter for breaking security protocols, but all it took was a little bit of politeness and an official-looking gadget in my hand.
"Would you mind pressing the button for the 8th floor? Ohh.. Your card only allow you to go to the second floor, nvm.. Let me just... I will.. There... Hehe... thanks any way"
I might be really socially akward but that is like the worst for me, haha.

The worst part about tumblr is the lack of punctuation and capitalisation. The bad part is everything else.

Not everything else, sometimes you can steal stuff from work as well.
