    A lot of those wacky screws exist solely to keep people from randomly messing with them. You have to really go out of your way the get the right tool for the job, and that’s if there even is one.

    Like the one-way screws holding together bathroom stalls.

      Those screws can fuck right off. Almost every bathroom stall installed today uses a security torx tip.

      Edit: Forgot to clarify, the one way slotted screws can fuck right off.

      Yup, I’ve noticed that spanner screws (the two dots) are usually found on elevator control panels. There is no reason that somebody should be able to open those up with a Swiss army knife.

        It’s funny because I’ve opened those screws on something else using a bit of effort and the scissors on my swiss army knife.
