Default Unusual credit card uses

I was with my friend over the weekend and he accidentally locked himself out of his apartment. Not knowing what to do, we thought of those old movies where thieves easily pick locks by using their credit cards. To our utter disbelief, it actually worked (it was a bit of a struggle, but we did manage to unlock the door!) Have you ever used you credit card in an unusual way like this?

This is funny. Earlier this summer we went on a weekend camping trip and nobody packed the eating utensils...no spoons, forks or knives. I ended up using my credit card to cut up some of the food!
