Genius
That would freak the buggery out of me.
Imagine if they did that in a club toilet where everyone was off their tits on drugs. You'd need trained counselors on call.

This actually happened to me in a club toilet once
Only there was no clever trick, or other person being reflected, there was just a double row of sinks and cubicles opposite each other, with no mirror in the middle. I looked up while washing my hands and was very scared.

The Q...
Man alive, is that still going? I thought it had shut down years ago - Ultimate Orange and Atomic Jam followed by a long walk back to Sparkbrook...
...superb clip - was trying to convince a colleague to translate (my 16 year old "D" in GCSE German is still proving next to useless)...then noticed chrisb's contribution...(apparently my slightly older brain hasn't improved with age either).

There is a fancy burger place in Wimbledon Village
where you can see into the girls toilets and vice versa and this has the optical illusion of the mirror being broken. It is very unnerving first time you go there.

This reminded me of this one too
It's very GC so it doesn't deserve it's own post, but for those who haven't seen the 'Death' prank - here it is.

For those who don't speak German,
The mirroring twins insist they can see the lady in the mirror, further convincing them they've gone insane :)

Those crazy Germans ......
This must make up for our Teutonic cousins' widely reported lack of sense of humour.

Great.
It would be even funnier if she ignored them, like they were dead.

I don't suppose...
... that anybody speaks German and can translate what the penultimate lady in big glasses (who kept taking them on and off) was saying?

Woman with glasses dialogue
Woman: What kind of mirror is this? I can see you, but me, I'm invisible. May I stand where you are?
Strange, don't you think?
How perculiar. You're visible but I'm invisible. I've never experienced that before. How perculiar. I'm invisible.
Twin: Can you see yourself?
Woman: No. You can see me?
Twin: Yes.
Woman: I can't see myself.
*She removes her glasses*
Twin: NOW you've disappeared again.
Woman: I'll see when somebody else comes in, if it's the same with them.
*She puts her glasses back on*
Twin: Now I see you again.
Woman: How perculiar. I must be from another planet. I'm not sure what but something's not quite right there. I don't get it.
Twin: Take your glasses off again.
*She removes her glasses*
Woman: And now?
Twin: I can only see your coat!
Woman: Stand yourself here.
Incredible. I've never experienced this before.

you may
have just found the evidence for this being faked
if you think about it, the moment you moved to the right or left whilst looking in the mirror, your line of sight would be like looking in a window rather than a mirror and instinctively you'd know it wasn't reflective.

Washing hands bit maybe...
But the left or right is fine. Go look in a mirror, and pretend for a second, that its a window into a mirrored room... As long as the room is rigged right, it doesn't make a difference.
