Adulting With Cars, Thursday, Third Period
"What I am going to teach you this week is illegal," Brian told his students, figuring that would get their attention. "That is, if you use it on anyone's car that's not yours. So, you know, don't do that." Or do. He wasn't going to tell anyone.
Worst cop ever.
"Eventually, you're going to lock your keys in your car. It happens. No big, right? But what do you do next? Well, you could call a locksmith, and pay them to break into your car, but that's a giant waste of money. The catch is that you're going to need tools: something to wedge open your door, and something to poke the lock with--I'm assuming you all have automatic locks for this one. A doorstop and an unfolded wire coat hanger should do the trick, and no, I'm not expecting you all to carry around a doorstop and a coat hanger at all times, but they're easy to get your hands on and cheaper than a locksmith in a pinch. So here's how it works." Brian demonstrated method he'd been talking about on one of the fake cars. "Now, if you're dealing with a manual lock, it starts out the same way, but you're going to need to put a hook in the end of your poking device to catch the lock pin or lever with and pull it into the unlocked position. And there are other methods, some of which work better than others." Brian had his doubts about the tennis ball trick. "In case some of you would like to try one of those instead of this one, there's a handout you can look over and all the necessary tools are available. And if you don't really care about the car, you could always just break the window. But since we're talking about your own car, which you own, of course none of you would do that, right?" Sure, Brian. Sure.
"All right, so, your cars are locked. Keys are on the driver's seat. First one to get their car open, drive thehandwavey course programmed into your GPS, and get back here wins a delicious candy bar. Your time starts...NOW."
