I worked in a glass shop for a time. There were tons of framed mirrors around. I remember one that was placed just past a door between showroom and shop.

I stepped aside for the person coming through I don't know how many times before I finally got it through my head that I was stepping aside for myself!

I've read it is good fung shui to have a mirror in your dining room multiplying the food you put upon your table. Something about feeling abundant and rich and healthy, if I remember correctly.

Oh. Yeah, I guess you're right. From their perspective it is a good idea.

Then they won't have to say (as much) YOU BEEN HERE 4 HOUR YOU GO NOW.

Friend of mine has a twin, and he says that on more than one occasion he has wandered near a mirror while shopping with his family in a department store, and made several comments at it before realizing it was not his brother.

Ever heard of the game called Chicken?

They should mount tiny surface-to-air missiles on it and stop 'em as they come in.
