Back in the late 90s/early 00s when I was a precocious teenager, I ran a somewhat popular website. At some point it made sense to just buy a 1U rack moubtable server and having it colocated (commercial webhosting was expensive then). I couldn't find anyone to give me a ride to the datacenter, so I took a bus. By the time I got there my arms were numb from carrying the bloody thing.

There was a single security guard, I signed in and he gave me directions and a big keychain. The keys opened most of the rooms and most of the cages around the racks. To this day I remain mystified at the level of trust (or nonchalance) that security guard had in a spotty teenager.
