Seriously, you are not missing anything on the padlock... If they are like the ones that were at my dollar store, they are tiny as hell and suck. You cant take the key out when its open and you gotta jiggle it to open it to begin with.
BTW, what are you supposed to lock up with a half-inch big lock? Your super-secret diary so your "little brother" doesnt find it and read all your secrets? Maybe you could lock up your stash of baby-carrots so they dont mysteriously disappear...
I am still waiting for my uber-secret prize. I wonder what it is!!??!?!? Maybe a generic Trojan Condom? Or a Zip-Lock knock-off brand bag? OMG I must know!!! All this anticipation is driving me crazy! Maybe it is a sheet of ruled paper, or a ball-point pen refil! Oh oh oh, maybe a paperclip! I MUST KNOW! $$@!%$@%$!
