I got an email about this one, I'll post it or forward it if someone wants it.
A two-way mirror is something we see in investigation rooms, you know, the cops on the other side, watching a suspect over the other side. Well, turns out it is being used as a common tool for peeping! Restrooms, changing booths,etc. Be careful!
Point and lean the tip of your finger on the mirror. If you can see the tip, then it's a real mirror, if not, and there's no space between the reflection and your finger, it's a two-way mirror!
Share it to your family or friends. I have some people I wanna protect from scum, thought I'd share this.

Hmm, I'll have to try this next time I'm at Boscov's or one of those stores.

Re: How to tell a real mirror from a two-way mirror
Just so you know...
http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/mirror.asp
The gist of it is:
-If you can see a wall behind the mirror, chances are it isn't a two-way. A two-way mirror would be more part of the wall itself.
-The fingernail test is not the best test in determining if a mirror is two-way. It's more effective to peek into the mirror and use your hands to shade your eyes from the light around you.
I'm not saying there aren't creeps who do it, because I honestly have no idea if they do, or how many and how often. But the chances of finding a two-way mirror in the dressing room just don't seem very high.
Edit: Necropost, wtf
