Efficiency issues

I have this problem where I try to do many things as effiently as possible. Just watch me fill an icecube tray, I promise you I do it better than you. Anyways.

My bike lock is pissing me off because I can't fuggin unlock it as effiently as I'd like. Its a 4 digit combination lock numbered 0 to 9. My problem is I spin them so they are at random numbers when I lock it. When I get back to my bike to leave, I have to turn the dials to the correct number (no shit eh?) my problem I know it would be faster to turn it one way and not the other. Say I have to go to the number 6 and the dial is at say.. 3, easy, turn it to 4 than 5 than 6. Turn it the other way and you have to go through 2, than 1, then 0, 9, 8, 7, finally down to 6; jesus that took forever uhng. Now here is the crux of the issue; the slight fraction of a second it takes me to think which way is the quckest way to get to the correct number, is essentially the same as the time it would take to get around to the number even if I took the long way. How annoying is that.
