Another is locksmiths who are not properly trained. They might damage your property while trying to fix the lock. For example, they could scratch the door or break the surrounding frame. This not only causes additional costs for repairs but also leaves you with an eyesore on your property. And sometimes, they might claim that they can't fix the lock and just leave you in a lurch without really trying all the possible solutions.
I heard of a case where a locksmith was called for an emergency lockout at night. He took forever to arrive. When he finally did, he overcharged the customer by a huge amount, claiming it was a 'nighttime emergency fee' that was not previously disclosed. The customer felt completely ripped off.
A locksmith received a call from a young couple who locked themselves out of their new apartment. When he arrived, they were arguing about who lost the key. As he was working on the lock, they continued bickering. But when he finally opened the door, they suddenly stopped and started laughing at how silly they were acting. It was a funny moment of realization.
I know a story where a locksmith was called to a hotel room. The guest inside was drunk and thought the locksmith was a burglar. He started shouting and throwing things at the door. When the locksmith finally managed to open the door, the guest apologized sheepishly. It was really funny to see the change in his attitude.
I wasn't sure which book or magazine 'Boys and Girls' was referring to. If I can provide more information, I will try my best to answer your questions.
Definitely fiction. 'Hatchet' takes you on a fictional journey filled with adventures and challenges that are not drawn from real experiences. It's a story designed to capture the reader's imagination and keep them hooked.
Sure is. 'The Dot' falls into the category of fiction. It weaves a tale that's not based on real events but rather on the author's imagination and creativity to entertain and inspire.
