Lockpick genius

When you get locked out do you pretend you're the finest thief in the lands?

You're late, you're in a rush, you've had a rubbish day, you leave the room, the door slams shut behind you and you reach into your pocket for your keys. They're not in your pocket. And if they're not in your pocket where are they?

They're in your room and you're not in your room anymore because you just left your room and the door slammed shut: you're locked out. There are three ways to react to this situation, well no four. 1) panic, 2) kick down the door 3) attempt death defying stunts to get through the window or 4) become the lockpick genius.

As the lockpick genius it doesn't matter if you have little to no experience in picking locks, lock mechanics or anything to do with locks in general. All you need is a paperclip, a little luck and a determined look on your face. We've all seen it in movies, they stick in a wire or whatever they find, twist it around a bit, something about tumblers and then bam the door is open. Real life? Turns out it's not that simple.

I know I do this, I've done it numerous times and I'm ashamed to admit I have never picked a door. I then resorted to 2) but gave up and wound up sleeping on the floor in the kitchen. And perhaps that is the rightful place of the lockpick genius.

So do you do this?
