    Default Mad skillz you wish you had

    I locked myself out of the house today >:{

    Consequently, I spent a good thirty minutes trying to use the bobby pin in my hair to stealth-open the door like a criminal to no avail. Would have been a nice skill to have! I was debating between taking a rock to the glass or waiting outside for seven more hours until someone got home, but thankfully my step-dad came home surprisingly from work.

    What are some skills you wished you had in a moment of crisis?

    Depending on the lock a card might do better. That's how I used to have to break in to my own house.

    As far as I go, any. I wish I had any kind of mad skillz. I currently have just kind of alright skillz.

    It was a double french door, I don't think a card would have worked. But good idea for any other time I'm locked out!

    I used to be able to know how to break in my own house, but I don't really have the right door for that skill now. Anyway, what mad skillz I wish I had? The skill to be fearless, or mad art skills. My current skills are not enough for most people, unfortunately.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Use a bump key. I don't think using a hairpin actually works. o_O

    I wish I knew muay thai, that would be badass.

    Mad marksman skills. Shooting the hell out of things/people from a few hundred yards away could be useful.

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    I wish I had the skills to play a 4X game on max difficulty but as it is I can usually climb about halfway up the difficulty ladder before I get stomped on

    I've broken in to places with a pen, penny, or card before. Maybe next time try that approach.

    Basically wish I had the skill to fly planes. I would love to save money on flights flying my own damn plane.

    Breakdancing would be a pretty neat skillset to have.

    I think Archery. I need to buy a bow. I think I'm going to buy a bow. I will take it every where and always wear a suit.

    If you don't know at least two of these you won't be able to:

    Martial Arts
    House Dance
    Acrobatics and/or parkour

    It helps to have muscles as well.

    I do know archery, but it has done butt all to help me in any kind of way and is annoying when I have longer nails. I need to find another hobby that's similar that I can do...hmmm GUNS.
