Unlocking a padlock Yuen's way,
Does this never happen to you all? Having padlocks lying around, but somehow somewhere the keys are missing?
Obviously, that's what happened to us, otherwise I wouldn't jot this down.
Well, after fruitlessly ransacking the house for well over a few hours, we resorted to using the brute method.
A hammer? nah....
Pliers?....also nah.....
Smashing it on the floor?....certainly doesn't work
Bare hands?.....nada, we ain't Superman....
Even with the dedicated set of lock picks that I've obtained through Wim R. (keep this hushed, will ya? :p), I couldn't budge open the #@&! padlock.
We had to open this padlock as we needed to use this particular locked piece of luggage for our upcoming trip, and needless to say, we have a tendency of packing on the eve of departure,....thus you can easily imagine that our patience was severely tested....and all this because of us stashing away the keys and not remembering where we had put it.....#!@*&@_)*!$(.....
A knife then, just to cut it.....a table knife isn't up to the task, a kitchen knife neither....
mmmmmmhhhhhmmmm........how about a plain old bread knife?
That knife sure has some teeth to muster.....and guess what.
According to our trusted house maid, Ros, sawing the lock was a doodle.
And hupsakee.......problem solved.
One padlock less though.....we just have to buy another set, and try to remember where we stash away the keys of it.
Lesson learned, using a breadknife to open the padlock,....
although it comes at the price of purchasing a new one
That serves us right, doesn't it?
