Today, after closing down the gas station I work at, I went to unlock the door to the building. Turned out the lock broke and I was locked inside until my boss could get there to let me out. FML

Today, I closed the store on my own for the first time. As I was locking the front door, the key broke. Now half the key is stuck and the door is still unlocked. I have to stay until we open in the morning and I'm not getting paid for it. FML

Today, I locked myself out of my apartment. I've just realized that I could have spent $30 on an Uber or Lyft to my parents' place to grab the other set of keys instead of calling a locksmith and paying $280 for him to drill a hole through my doorknob, rendering all my keys useless. FML

Today, I was locked out of my house. After hours of trying to break the door, I found out I accidentally left a window open. The door, however, still needs to be replaced. FML

Today, I locked myself out of the house I was house-sitting. An hour later, and my fifth attempt at climbing the fence, I figured I'd try the door one more time. Turns out I was turning the handle the wrong way and the door wasn't locked in the first place. FML

Today, I got locked out of my house. After trying unsuccessfully to jimmy the lock, I managed to climb in through the kitchen window. I soon found out I had an effect on the door after all; it won't open at all any more, even with the right key. FML

Today, my mom was out of the house, so I decided to make her a gift. I went into the garage for supplies and somehow ended up locking myself in for the next 2 hours. Not only that, but I cut my hand with the rusty paperclip I used to try to pick the lock. FML

Today, I locked myself out of my car. While walking home to retrieve the spare, I realized I locked my house keys inside the house this morning. Now I must decide whether to break into my house or car. FML

The key to this situation is keeping your mind open and maybe you will think of a solution.

I know this is completely unrelated, but when I read this I though of Siri: "I found three locksmiths fairly close to you." I'm pretty random like that.

Because shooting a lock with a potato going at speeds of over 40 mph fom 10ft away is always the answer.

It is indeed always the answer.

It's the answer to everything. Having trouble getting it up? Just use a potato gun. Relationship problems? Use a potato gun. IRS harassing you because of your debt? Potato gun time.

no actually it's none of those things. i would of used the potato gun to shoot a potato into the air so high that it bakes, then catch it. it would be the best baked potato ever!! then i would eat it as a locksmith came and unlocked my store.

I tow them all the time in GTA, often with another tow truck pulling the tow truck pulling the final tow truck.

You're just going to have to suck it up and give your competition some business. I'm sure you'll have a big laugh about it at the Locksmiths' Convention.
