Lockpicking is the best skill the interweb ever taught me.

Learn how to jumpstart a car. That comes up so, so much IRL, and you can just read a tutorial on how to do it, basically.

How to kick down a door: 11 Steps (with pictures). Practice on your neighbor's door.

No? I'd suggest learning a language then.
In a row.
Guys, guys. We're already high up enough on our respective watchlists, no need to bump us up further. :P. Keep on posting!

There's nothing illegal with jump starting a car and its very useful skill. Same with changing a tire.

In any case it would be a battle of critical thinking and I refuse to fight an unarmed individual.

Vocabulary and grammar.

Vocabulary has by far been the most abundant and useful thing for me to pick up, and learning to twist myself around words has proved to be an effective tool in any interpersonal situation - the more words you know, the less mute you are!
