Miscellaneous: Today, I freaked out when I couldn't get my bathroom door open....

By pottyhostage - 08/11/2010 21:26 - Sweden

Today, I freaked out when I couldn't get my bathroom door open. After ten minutes of panic when thinking about how I'd be stuck there for at least 8 hours until my roommate would get home, and another five mentally going over survival skills, I realized that I had forgotten to unlock the door. FML

Today, I was in the bathroom at work. The lock on the stall door broke, and I couldn't open it. I was all alone and I started having a mini panic attack. After several minutes of frantically trying to fix the lock and hyperventilating, I realized I could just crawl under the door. FML

Today, I was in a store using the only bathroom there. After I was done, I realized I couldn't open the door. Panicked it locked me in, I banged on the door, and screamed for help. The security and a whole group of people gathered, only to find that I was pulling the door instead of pushing it. FML

Today, I woke up in the middle of the night and had to go to the bathroom in my dorm. After coming out of the bathroom, I realized I'd let my auto-locking door close behind me. I had to go through the whole dorm, sprint across campus in my bra and underwear, and ask someone for my spare key. FML

Today, I locked myself out of the house I was house-sitting. An hour later, and my fifth attempt at climbing the fence, I figured I'd try the door one more time. Turns out I was turning the handle the wrong way and the door wasn't locked in the first place. FML

Today, I was locked out of my house. After hours of trying to break the door, I found out I accidentally left a window open. The door, however, still needs to be replaced. FML

Today, I was fed up with things being taken from my room so I installed a key-locking handle on my door. I installed everything but the door knobs, and because I was worried that I would put the two of them on backwards, I closed the door to check. I'm now locked in my room. FML

Today, I was convinced I hadn't locked up properly when leaving work, and almost had a panic attack at the train station. I went all the way back into work, to find I had in fact locked up properly. It made me nearly two hours late home. This isn't the first time I've done this. FML

Today, I locked myself out of my dorm room. I walked across campus, shoe-less and in nothing but my bathrobe, to find someone who could let me back in. Turns out I hadn't even shut the door properly and so it never actually locked. I can still hear the guy laughing at me. FML

Stealthy roommate

By AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA - 15/03/2023 00:00 - United States

Today, I had to go to the bathroom, but the door was closed. I waited until I was pretty much about to explode, and eventually yelled, "Are you okay?" and my roommate replied, "What are you talking about? Oh, sorry. I left the light on." How do you close the door and forget to turn off the light? FML

Today, I accidentally locked myself out of my apartment while taking the trash out, without my phone. I had to wait outside for three hours until my flatmate came home from work to let me back in. FML

what survival skills? you were in a bathroom, had access to water, and it was only going to be 8 hours. Don't let this one go camping. or to any third world country...

Only someone from Stockholm (if you're a swede) would be this dumb. Either that, or you're 17 (mentally 13 and stuck), REALLY blonde (which probably would still mean you're from Stockholm), or you are just a dimwit girl. I vote for all of these for you (ie. 17 physically/13 mentally years of age, blonde, blue-eyed dimwitted girl from Stockholm).

Survival skills? I know, when I went to elementary school, I also had to take the class, "How to survive when locked inside a college dorm bathroom for 8 hours waiting for my room mate to get home." It's brutal, kids, so don't forget to pay close attention. It's the kind of course that saves lives frequently. Besides, how did you figure your room mate was gonna get you out? I assume the door would've been locked from the inside, not the outside.

Yeah, I would have been jiggling that handle and trying to unlock it before I went over how to make fire with sticks. You were in a bathroom. If you had a cell phone on you, then you deserve it even worse, because you could have texted your roommate. Which would have been hilarious when you figured out you panicked over a locked door.
