I was working on my own laptop in a cafe, and someone who was sat near me went to the bathroom without saying even a word, leaving their laptop open and logged in with company excel sheets up of whatever they were doing and I'm like are you kidding me?

I wonder if they expected me to protect it without them asking because I was working too and its like laptop solidarity? Either way, it was dumb on too many levels.

I watched a great hidden camera segment a few years ago where strangers were asked to watch another stranger’s stuff on the beach. When a new person was sent in to pretend to steal the stuff, some of the strangers chased and began to fight the apparent thieves!

People are generally good (and I will continue to believe that especially because people are more likely to rise to the challenge if they can tell I believe that) :)

Me, who has problems remembering faces:

Agents of chaos point to someone else's stuff and ask a stranger to watch it.

Then they go get popcorn and a vantage point.

Oh no you di-uhnt!
