You Tube

Just been to a job that made me laugh.
The customer had been playing on You Tube and saw a video of someone using a paper clip to open a door. With a little knowledge and a lot of stupidity he went outside, paper clip in hand, closed his front door and began to play.
After nearly 2 hours he swallowed his pride and called me to let him back in.
The paper clip broke and stuck in the lock and he had not left any other door to his flat unlocked.
A rather expensive lesson which was topped off by the smell of burnt meat coming from his oven.........
Thanks You Tube, you made my day !!!

Not to mention your paycheck :P. This is too funny. Rule number 1 when trying to pick locks is simple: DON'T BE AN IDIOT. Rule number 2, and this can sometimes tie into rule number 1: Do not attempt to pick a lock that you are using, even if you have the right tools.

This guy seemed didn't seem to learn either of these rules. I guess that learned him.
