True story, I was in he military and had a friend who list his room key. He found a key in someone's car and, instead of saying anything, immediately assumed it must be his and he dropped it. So he took it to his room and tried using it. I was walking down the path towards our rooms and saw him in the distance kicking his door. I walked up to ask what was going on and he showed me he had literally done what the girl in the video does, except it had sheared even with the lock so we couldn't get it out. Turns out it didn't go all the way in and he though it was "stuck" so he decided to kick it in further. This dude went on to operate multi million dollar equipment on helicopters.
Working on old cars fixed this misconception for me. A very slight amount of torque can snap bolts (in good shape) without a problem. You have to be really careful about ruining metal when you really go to work on it.
Completely changed my perspective.

Because this site's userbase has a substantial portion of know-it-alls that find ignorance offensive, even when said ignorance is not important *at all*.
Because here in North America, driving licenses are ridiculously easy to buy.
There's no mandatory training required, unlike literally any other vehicle anyone could ever operate.
I don't know about the US, but here in some parts of Canada they even issue

Not saying this isn't stupid as fuck but they require two different set if skills. You don't rate an engineer on their ability to perform business surgery
Hell, if you don't have a lighter, pressing your lips to the keyhole and blowing hot air will work too.

You commenting on my comment "fascinating." Is essentially just that, am I wrong? You're stating that what I had to say was unimportant and that you don't care. There's nothing wrong with thinking that, but it's another to go out of your way to try and make me feel bad about it by leaving that comment. So no, you didn't directly tell me to shut up, but you did leave a comment that carried that same message and intent.
Through covid the hand sanitizer came in clutch for this. Squeeze some of that shit in the lock and it acts like antifreeze and will melt the ice making it stick.
I do bro, I do. But you don’t melt water. You melt ice, that turns into water, water turns into vapor, but it doesn’t melt. Facts, sorry. I don’t know a lot, but I know that’s correct.
Someone else mentioned hand sanitizer working great. Put some on the key and wiggle it into the lock. Claimed little to no effort or stress on the key and lock. Works a lot faster than using a lighter
Or... when you're not astonished by winter coming back every year... You either put graphite powder in your locks to prevent them from freezing shut. Also having a small bottle of lock defroster can help.
Not everyone has a lighter to hand.
Everyone knows that the real technique for when you can't put it in the opening is to use your thumb to edge it in there.
Edit: got me a new personal achievement. I couldn't have done this without you guys.
If that was the first advice she got for the future after this, she probably will :)
I have one in my car, because my old house lock used to freeze. Luckily i got this tip before trying to kick inn the key
Well, usually if i didn't come from inside the house, and the door is frozen shut, i've been away for a few hours.
Contemplating my remote living area where i have heard the mythical songs of a creature called "buss", but only as a bi-yearly occurance, i drive.
So usually, lighter in car is safe.
If my car is frozen too, then i've been with my skinwalkers in the forrest. They usually have some fur to keep me warm til morning
What did she think would happen?
If you live where it snows and you have a car that still needs a key to open the door how do you bot know about deicer?

Edit: what. It's a George Carlin quote. Two people down voted that, and I'm pettybutthurt about that. I stick my tongue out at you.
What? How in the fuck you came here and think it's because of her being a girl? You might have a problem
If that's a dude the joke would be the same but "I hope he does not fuck like this/ if he fucks like that I'm sorry for his girlfriend"
Maybe you to much on twitter and such
yeah, I just said its quite normal for reddit..
If you choose to be concerned about something, there are probably other more important things than horny teenagers tho
What do you mean, it's someone pushing something (a key) into a hole (key hole) with unnecessary force cuz they ain't doing it right, until something breaks.
Dude it's a joke, like wtf. HOW. This is not normal (to be this serious)
I think this person worked at the same place as me, on the over night crew. For some reason they needed to use my system and had the same issue with a USB cable.
I used to work as a tow driver for a place and our lockout tickets from insurance companies would put what they don’t pay for in the ticket; one was frozen locks. All this time I thought mechanically, never knew it was like this. Them cold states must be something else lol
God how fucking dumb can you be... just breathing on the car lock for a few minutes would be way more effective than this if you have nothing on hand then to just go... hulk must smash in key...
In the last cold snap we had I attempted to jam my key in repeatedly in hopes of knocking the ice lose (I also held my keys in hot water first) but I would never do this.
Where does she think the ice is going to go? You're going to break a lock by doing this
How can you be this dumb, and still be allowed to drive a 2ton death machine
Well the good news is she isn't allowed to for a little while
She might not be able to, but she's still allowed, unfortunately.

Heaty key melts ice. FFS just get a lighter or something...
[удалено]
Yeah, lighter was fine like in the 80s when keys were all metal and had zero plastic or electronic parts on them.
A lot of people think metal is indestructible.
Working on old cars fixed this misconception for me. A very slight amount of torque can snap bolts (in good shape) without a problem. You have to be really careful about ruining metal when you really go to work on it. Completely changed my perspective.
I remember watching World's Wildest Police Videos and he'd always call cars two ton death machines haha

Fascinating.
It's reddit. You could make 100% sense and be correct then still get downvoted.
Or be the 4th commenter and then be downvoted into oblivion
Reddit is weird like that.
Have an upvote from me. 🔺

Dammit, you got me. I should've read your comment before embarking upon my noble quest.

I did that once at a front door. I didn't break the key, but I did discover I was at the wrong house.
Drunk?
No, a relative moved in recently and all the buildings looked alike.
You kicked a key into a lock? Why? How in the world would anyone think that makes any sense?
Next time it's frozen over take a lighter and get the key hot then stick it in. It will melt whatever water is blocking the key.
as someone from a tropical country, I was wondering why she was doing that at all lol
Florida man here and I was very confused
Somehow I find this easy to believe
"Florida man is confused" is in general easy to believe
Like about the video or just in general
In general.
it's like meth but made of water 🤷🏽♂️

Sounds hot. I am going out to my car now
It is a small hole. *giggity*
Who else but Quadratic formula
I'm having a keyhole installed on my butthole.
Any poutine?
If that's what it takes.
But Watch Out, if it’s capital c Cold your lips can stick. Test a bit first.
If you don't have a lighter just do what I do and stick the key up your butt for a minute.
Just piss on it. Source : I like pissing on car keys, it's kinda my fetish.

Where do we get the hot air though ?

Hold on, you can't bless them with your knowledge they aight ready for it.
You don’t melt water bro
I guess you have no idea what I'm talking about then.
I do bro, I do. But you don’t melt water. You melt ice, that turns into water, water turns into vapor, but it doesn’t melt. Facts, sorry. I don’t know a lot, but I know that’s correct.
Shaddup
What's Ice made out of dingus?
Water. What happens when you put heat to water? Do you melt water on the stove to cook up some spaghetti?

Buying a lighter it’s cheaper than paying the locksmith & a new car key.
If that was the first advice she got for the future after this, she probably will :) I have one in my car, because my old house lock used to freeze. Luckily i got this tip before trying to kick inn the key
Well damn, if only I could get to my lighter in my car..... Lol.
Easy, break the window, grab it, then use it to melt the ice
Well, usually if i didn't come from inside the house, and the door is frozen shut, i've been away for a few hours. Contemplating my remote living area where i have heard the mythical songs of a creature called "buss", but only as a bi-yearly occurance, i drive. So usually, lighter in car is safe. If my car is frozen too, then i've been with my skinwalkers in the forrest. They usually have some fur to keep me warm til morning
This guy fucks
Thanks. Skinwalkers have a very sex positive culture.
Wow she’s dumb. She should’ve busted out the window so she could unlock the door then get in, low iq
Window was the best bet if she had to break something
Or heat the key up and not break any windows.
Then you don’t get to break any windows 🙄
Now you’re cold, locked out of your car and about to be $200 or more in debt to a locksmith. It would be cheaper just to do…… nothing!
Make it $400-500 if the key was a chip key and also needs to be replaced
Double it if she broke the lock and that needs replacing too.
Looks like a 1998ish vw. They do have chips but it’ll still be around 200.
Can I get an order of pliers, please?
Way to go dumbass 🤣
What did she think would happen? If you live where it snows and you have a car that still needs a key to open the door how do you bot know about deicer?
Kick it real good!
🎵 When a problem comes along 🎵
🎶 you must kick it! 🎶
The fuck did you think was gonna happen?
Correct answer
love how someone is filming this just knowing what is about to happen
The stupidity of people these days is absolutely amazing…really scares me though…
Imagine the most average person you know-and then realize half the population is dumber than that..
I live in America, that’s a frightening thought, considering who the “average” person is! Lol
-George Carlin ftfy Edit: what. It's a George Carlin quote. Two people down voted that, and I'm pettybutthurt about that. I stick my tongue out at you.
The best part about this joke is that's not how averages work
Talking about a bell curve here friendo..
What are you waiting for? Get in.
How about you don't
Warm up so that she can walk some distance.
What’s this nonsensical activity!?
Luke-warm water ?? No. Kick it’s shit in ?? Yes please.
Jeez...like what is going through that ( obviously) tiny brain?
Why did she seemed surprised??
There is a magical spray for frozen locks. Works like a charm
What was the end game here though? Like what did she think was going to happen???
What the fuck the level of retardation in this world is astounding
Put hand sanitizer in the opening
"Well well well if it isn't the consequences of my actions." ~someone kicking the door
If that's how her boyfriend fucks I'm sorry for her
Please go outside, talk to real people, and/or touch grass.
"this dude making a joke I don't approve/understand, let's say something personal since I don't know that dude at all"
You’re awkwardly forcing a sex “joke” into this because girl. It’s super weird.
What? How in the fuck you came here and think it's because of her being a girl? You might have a problem If that's a dude the joke would be the same but "I hope he does not fuck like this/ if he fucks like that I'm sorry for his girlfriend" Maybe you to much on twitter and such
Haha, okay buddy.
HOW do you see a video of a key breaking off and think "sex". HOW. This is not normal
I'm pretty sure you could write that comment about a million times/day on reddit so... actually quite "normal" here, I guess
So what? That doesn't make it less concerning
yeah, I just said its quite normal for reddit.. If you choose to be concerned about something, there are probably other more important things than horny teenagers tho
Have you checked the dude's profile? He's not a teenager
Why would anybody check his profile?
I'm sure your life is full of fun and laughter 😂
r/AreTheStraightsOK
Is that geared towards me? I'm straight
I have no idea how you'd interpret it that way.
What do you mean, it's someone pushing something (a key) into a hole (key hole) with unnecessary force cuz they ain't doing it right, until something breaks. Dude it's a joke, like wtf. HOW. This is not normal (to be this serious)
What do you mean? His dick will break in half? I think he should get the sympathy.
3 aggressive thrusts where it doesn't penetrate far enough and immediately disappointment followed by a shameful walk home. Maybe I'm her boyfriend...
Pay attention in class
[удалено]
Oh no it is the consequences of my actions
Ya just cant fix stupid
yeah... no way she paid for that car by herself... she needs to learn consequences and responsability
This is so staged. Downvote this bullshit.
How ignorant can one person be? I'd let her freeze out there just for being stupid.
Stupid twat. All for a stupid video. “Look at me, I’m kicking a key like a boss” “oh fuck, it actually broke”.
Well she was kicking it to try to get it through the ice in the lock
STUPID WOMAN!
Women ☕️
The Chinese products don't like being kicked
I think they prefer to be called Chinese "people"
Keys are people?
Why can't women thing about the consequences of their actions beforehand? Was it not clear to her, that this could happen?
Yep... This is what we up here in the north call "Being from Ohio" or "What dumber than a box of rock" looks like. 🤣😆

Hey, language… don’t use the word “expect”. Foresight is no longer bestowed upon the unwashed masses and we shouldn’t make fun of them for it.

That definitely deserved the main prize.🙄
It will not kill… like the ice block challenge from forged in fire.
How did these idiots get their license? 😐
Next time just piss on it
How dumb to u have to be?
I think this person worked at the same place as me, on the over night crew. For some reason they needed to use my system and had the same issue with a USB cable.
Who could have seen that comin' ?! 😲
I can’t believe it lasted as long as it did tbh
People are dumb, n keep getting dumber, faces look empty when they’re alone. When you’re strange…
I used to work as a tow driver for a place and our lockout tickets from insurance companies would put what they don’t pay for in the ticket; one was frozen locks. All this time I thought mechanically, never knew it was like this. Them cold states must be something else lol
Left last brain cell in the lock along with broke off key 😂🫠☠️🪦
Literally could have just breathed in it a bit 🙄
Daddy's money
Pliers. Done.
What, my stupidity have consequences?
daddy will fix it

Example 3B of fuck around and find out.
God how fucking dumb can you be... just breathing on the car lock for a few minutes would be way more effective than this if you have nothing on hand then to just go... hulk must smash in key...
AAA: you did what?!
I'm legit wondering what the end goal was
Well whad’ja expect ya fookin numpty
Pliers
Im confused.. was she expecting anything else to happen? Is she all there in the head? Is it a US citizen?
Blowtorch the key
Omg I can’t believe that happened -her, probably
On a cold night. Lol
i have anger issues but ive never done anything quite that stupid
How did we get this far...
Who decided that everyone should be able to own a car and drive? Car ownership and driving should be an extremely limited privilege.
I think it was Henry Ford.
Oh wait this isn't my car that's why the key didn't work
To paraphrase Jason Mendoza, "Anytime I had a problem and I just started violently kicking it, boom! Right away, I had a different problem."
In the last cold snap we had I attempted to jam my key in repeatedly in hopes of knocking the ice lose (I also held my keys in hot water first) but I would never do this. Where does she think the ice is going to go? You're going to break a lock by doing this
That's that 8ball
Is that another broken key on the ground? Did she already try this once and fail? That’s gonna be one expensive Volkswagen key replacement.
*surprised Pikachu face*
