Idiot bystanders
I was unlocking a van yesterday in front of a hospital when a nurse (I thought these people were supposed to be smart) comes up to me and says "tennis ball". I knew instantly what she meant but played as if I didn't and responded "french toast". She asked me what I was talking about and I told her I thought it was a word association game. Then she goes on to tell me about the youtube myth of using a tennis ball to unlock cars. I asked her if I got sick and ended up in the hospital if she would try to use magic to heal me and she said of course not. I said well I saw it on youtube a nurse using magic to heal people. She got indignant and walked off.
I'm not one of those guys that is insecure about only a locksmith can unlock a car or any of that BS but it really does irk me when someone believes this kind of crap to begin with then tries to tell your customer that they could have unlocked it themselves with a tennis ball.
I know that myth started with the Volvo vacuum lock system but it didn't even work on those locks. How is it a grown adult thinks this stuff works?
