Instead of biting my nails or playing with a fidget toy, is there a skill I can learn/practice?

Like rolling a pen/coin through my fingers or something like that.

This is a great idea! Lock picking is fun and super impressive to laymen (haha).

Just don't tell anyone but your closest, most trusted friends (haha). Also, tell them to keep it a secret! Why? So your neighbor doesn't knock on your door at 2AM because they locked themselves out of their apartment.

Also, you don't need cutaway locks! They're neat toys but nothing more. What you really need is a variety of locks to play with.

Head to your local hardware store and pick up a bunch of cheap locks. Or just ask friends if they have any old padlocks they're not using (most people will have one or two).

True, cutaway locks aren’t needed. I recently heard of a neat idea where you can call around various storage businesses and ask if they have cut locks from people who lost their unit. It won’t be useful to lock anything but great for practice. Unfortunately the one near me throws theirs away regularly so I need to call around more to see what I can find.
