Me: I expect that you don't need me for this operation so I'll take my leave. Her: Oh you knew that but still came out to exchange pleasantries? Me: Yes, of course. Her: You're either a salaryman of the old school or your wife worked for the water company. Me: Two for two!

Approximate salaryman-of-the-old-school logic here: "The water company has sent its representative, the meter reader, to our place of business, and of course a white collar worker would drop what they were doing to let them in if that were needed, with appropriate gratitude."

There are a lot of things to not like about salarymandom and a lot of things to not like about how it mixes with social class but this sort of functioning as a leveling force for dignity is a thing which I am extremely aesthetically inclined to and wished there was more of.

I can't help reading this as "Japan has a societal policy of failing physical penetration tests". Someone arrived unexpectedly at the building, you let them in, and then you left them alone?

Yes, I did, despite being a security professional, let someone into a building that I (partially) own. There is a long discourse about trust here, but the margins of this tweet are too small to contain it, and it's the sort of thing that has totemic value to too many to tweet.

I will argue that high trust in a society or a company enables high productivity. It let's you focus on what you need to do instead of protecting yourself from betrayal.
