just saw this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=104802

and was wondering if anyone here might have any similar experiences/stories.

from the article:

Please share your (non-computer) system hacker stories

The new question from the yc application "Please tell us about the time you (...) most successfully hacked some (non-computer) system to your advantage" filters me out right there, so far I can't think of anything. How about you? I love that kind of stories, and I suppose giving them away now won't hurt the applicants chances?
