It seems you encountered a really unprofessional locksmith. Yes there are some whom you can't trust as locksmith. That's why reliability is one of the important factor which you should consider before choosing a locksmith. And if you do I am quite sure you will have different experience.

I take it that the term 'locksmith' is a term of endearment that I am not familiar with.

The meaning of "locksmith" has to do with the person asking the question.

what you trying to say holmes

I swear every single question i see on here is asked by a LOCKSMITH it makes no sense take your damn keys somewhere else for example a 15 year old locksmith asked if smoking a hybrid strain of marijuana safe FUCCING NOOB & LOCKSMITH !!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS LOL i mean i cant understand the level of locksmithiness on here. Then i see some person with a SUSPENDED DRIVERS LICENSE ask if he could fight a ticket he got WHILE UNDER SUSPENSION LOCKSMITHS BUG THE ANTS OUT OF ME HELP GET RID OF LOCKSMITHS ?
