Maintenance occurs in office buildings during late evening to the early morning hours; this would consist of janitorial tasks.  In retail outlets, stocking (and related activities) is the primary activity performed during these hours.  Please note that there may be exceptions.\n\nThese jobs are primarily performed during these hours (as opposed to when the building/store is open to the public) purposely, to prepare the premises for opening the next business day.  For example, it would not be practical to rearrange store shelves or to vacuum hallways at other times.

A year is 365 days and 6 hours, so if we didn't every four years, our calendars would become off

I have heard of Blue laws, but not blue curtain.  If it relates to blue laws they are laws on the books in a few places yet that limits what type of businesses may be open on Sundays and for how long.

A/C current\nClocks and everything use A/C current to keep track of time. This is always exact and time gets taken away or goes ahead gradually. There are time servers out there that your clock can set itself to everyday so you don't loose alot of time.

That makes me mad when people do that. If I go to open the door & its locked I have enough respect to not stand there knocking. Some people are idiots though & cant figure out that someone is in there doing their buisness if the doors locked. I know that some times the last person out could have accidently locked it as they were leaving but thats why I go ask managment if its locked or if someone is in there. Its just better to be polite. If its a stall I always bend down & see if theres feet then that means occupied. Some people wont do that & they will still stand there knocking.

They used to be open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.; hence the name.  Now I think most of them are open all the time.

People will go on with their lives. It would be scarier on 6-6-6 not 6-6-06. You see there is a 0 between the 2nd and 3rd 6, therefore my first statement is true.

I am a landlord, and I have had a landlord in the past who has unlawfully entered. As a landlord, I allow tenants to have these locks. I have no issue, because I don't need to be in there. On the days I am to enter for maintenance, she leaves that lock undone.  \n\nAt some hardware stores you can buy a chain lock that has a key entry. It looks like a chain lock for the outside viewer appearing that you are home, the top of the chain has a small cylinder lock. The landlord would not see the top if you place it high enough.  This forces the landlord to explain why he forced your privacy lock to the police in the event of unlawful entry, yet is flimsy enough to break in a true emergency. Typically found at specialty hardware stores.  \n\nA flip lock is another type that makes it appear that you are home. It looks like a hinge with screw holes in only one side. It can be entered from the outside if you take one credit card and push the plate side of the lock up, and a second one to swing it out upon your own reentry. Most have a small hole in the bottom part of the locking plate. Thread a small ribbon or string through that to pull it closed behind you. They are stiff enough to keep someone out who shouldn't be there unless they make a lot of noise pulling out the screws or busting in the lock. Yet again, are flimsy enough to fall in at a good hit in an emergency situation. I found one at wal-mart.

Well, they're so vague!  They're not wrong all the time for that simple reason.  Even a stopped clock is right, by happenstance, twice a day.

Our office is open from 8:30 to 4:30 daily, and closed from 12 to 1 for lunch.  Some of us go in earlier, and some stay later, if needed to get things done or if we need to be out of the office on personal business.  We sometimes stay later or come back into the office after regular hours in order to do home visits.  In addition, all the officers in our office rotate being on call.  For one week every three months, I have to carry the pager, and might get called out at any time if a juvenile has been arrested.  If they are a threat to public safety or to themselves, have committed a serious offense, or if the parents refuse to come get the juvenile, I have to go into the police station and arrange for the juvenile to be detained.  When I was on call last time, I was at the police station on Friday night, and again on Saturday morning to detain juveniles.  I then went to my office to contact all interested parties to tell them about the detention hearings.  \n\nWe have surveillence officers who work evening hours since they have to monitor those on electronic monitoring or house arrest.  \n\nOfficers in larger cities might work any shift since they do the intakes for people arrested around the clock.

probably because you're walking by made them remember to lock their car doors.  Its not specifically you.  At least, for me, I know it isn't for any particular race.  I leave work really late at work and stupidly do not lock my doors when I know with an SUV somebody could open any of the 4 doors.  When I see anyone at the bus stop, I lock them.  \n\nTry not to take it personally.  You could always look at the driver real hard and snap your fingers like "DARN, I was about to car jack them!"  LOL
