What is with the trope of using a glass to listen through a wall or door? Surely it doesn't work, right? Do all of these people have glasses with no bottom?

It's like when you see in TV/movies when someone gets tied up and "gagged" by just putting a sock in their mouth with no tape or anything. As if the person couldn't literally just spit the piece of cloth out.

Takes me out of it completely, every time.

Maybe that sox is a warning that if he spits it. He is going to get beaten the shit out of himself.
