    @justin: I said I was there to see $friend re: a school project, but he was out of the office. I let the VP show me some trivial things about the computer system, and he was too distracted by staring at me to notice that I observed him entering his password. He had legitimate access to the drive I was supposed to access to win the bet. Commented Apr 29, 2011 at 1:53
