What is with the trope of using a glass to listen through a wall or door? Surely it doesn't work, right? Do all of these people have glasses with no bottom?
It's like when you see in TV/movies when someone gets tied up and "gagged" by just putting a sock in their mouth with no tape or anything. As if the person couldn't literally just spit the piece of cloth out.
Takes me out of it completely, every time.
..it having a bottom is how it works.
the vibrations carry through the glass and into your ear that is pressed against the bottom. it works.
Interesting
Maybe that sox is a warning that if he spits it. He is going to get beaten the shit out of himself.
This works. Tape over the mouth doesn’t as you can just chew it off.
How would that work? How could putting a piece of cloth in someone's mouth prevent them from spitting it out?
