I like this test to show if someone makes a good kitsune or not: can they trick their way out of a paper bag? Assume theyare not allowed to use any direct means, i.e. pushing the bag open, shredding the bag with their claws, tipping the bag over so that it falls open. They must rely on a hypothetical stranger outside the bag.
Besides, it makes such a fun insult to say 'You couldn't trick your way out of a paper bag if your life depended on it.' ('gryn)
I still receive a lot of 'recruiter spam' where you can tell they don't really know beans about you or any job openings, they just want your permission to represent you to employers, even those employers you may already have contacted, or will contact yourself. This creates problems, because recruiters may set excessive salary requirements (some of the money goes to them) and require that employers not hire candidates presented by that recruiter without going through the recruiter. I lost one job that way at least.
