I FEEL LIKE YOU SHOULDN’T BE TEACHING ME THIS.
Well… You are a terrible influence and I love it! 😂
Hi I want to say. This seems cool in theory but please do not try this on your front door or other doors that you ever want to be able to lock again.
I know this is going to sound really dumb, and I’m not proud of it, but one day I got locked out of the house and, because I had seen this exact post like once, and having plenty of bobbi pins on my dumbass head, decided I might as well try and pick the lock. In my defense, I was in the middle of a nervous breakdown and was fully aware that I probably wasn’t going to be able to actually pull it off, but figured I’d try to amuse myself for the hour or so I had to wait for my mom to come home.
HERE’S THE CATCH. LOCKS ARE REALLY, REALLY FUCKING SENSITIVE. If you fuck around with them even a little bit, you will just absolutely ruin it and the key will be completely useless from that point onward. Obviously this did not occur to me in time to stay my destructive little idiot hands. The many times that I have seen thieves and cool action heroes pick locks in movies or vidya games, it was in situations where they didn’t really give a shit if they ruined the lock forever. But, that’s what I did to the front door of my own fucking house. Spoiler: I didn’t even manage to get in. I just fucked up the lock so bad that NO KEY WOULD WORK. That was fun to explain to my mom when she got home to let me in with her now completely useless key. I wound up climbing in through a window and we had to replace the front door lock.
So yeah. Your thieves skill did not increase from seeing this post but my Dumb Idiot That Fucks Up Everything skill skyrocketed. Please don’t be like me.
