Dear OP, Red Foreman's voice: Dumb ass!!!

If only he could've searched his jacket with the same determination with which he destroyed the padlock.

Where does one find a 50$ padlock? We got an amazing one for our shed and it only cost 15$.

Well I figured since it was for the house, it would be more expensive.

he definitely wouldn't be able to just cut through a 50$ padlock. And I am wondering, what kind of padlock did op have on his locker, since he could just cut through it with a pocket knife..

The padlock was on his locker not the house, your reading comprehension is just awful

im curious to what kind of pocket knife he had

wow I just read through that again and saw what it actually said... yeah i fucked up

Don't worry. You're not alone. I read it the same way. "Who puts a padlock on their house?"

#18 He's not locked out of the locker, he's locked out of his house. He said he doesn't have a spare key for such situations and probably thought cutting the lock would be easier than driving back to work, especially if they closed already. I'm assuming the padlock is on the gate so he can go around back.

I've done similar things before (with keys, cellphone, wallet)-- I'll be in a hurry, check my pockets, check my purse, check where it should be. Double check the usual places. Start to panic when I can't find it. Decide I must have left said item in my car, at work, bar, coffee shop, wherever. Frantically search for it. Eventually find it had been in my pocket, purse, or where ever it should be. Could be senility. Could be invisible gremlins fucking with me.

What makes you think the OP didn't and just missed it on his first check? It happens all the time, and I'm sure you've made similar mistakes in your life.

Key word: thoroughly. I'm not saying op couldn't have missed it on the first try, but personally I would look in my jacket a lot more thoroughly before I decided to use something that would cut me.

Ugh. You're more passive-aggressive than a prepubescent teenage girl in her first relationship.

Observant*. Looks like OP isn't the only one who isn't.
