Things being a DM teaches you
Story time: Trying to become a better DM, I decided it might be good to get some experience with some of the more common tools a player might use, to y'know, better narrate the sensation of its use. First item on the list: Thieves kit. Three thigns learned: Locks are suprisingly easy to pick, most can be done via simple "raking" with the apropriate tool in 5 sec. (Notable: I have trouble with fine motor skills. And often struggle with tying shoelaces. So if I say it's simple, i mean it.) Second: Because you can't see the mechanisms anyway, it's one of the few skills that is as easy to do blindfolded, as it is to do the regular way. Three: Despite number 2, doing it blindfolded still feels like ten times more badass.
