Today, I got locked out of my house. After trying unsuccessfully to jimmy the lock, I managed to climb in through the kitchen window. I soon found out I had an effect on the door after all; it won't open at all any more, even with the right key. 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

Confused

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 in my backyard. When I wanted to come back in the house, I tried to open the sliding door. I knew that my brother locked me out so I banged on the door very hard, causing the glass to break. It turns out that the door wasn't locked. FML

Locked and loaded

Today, I left work early, and discovered I was locked out of my house. I subsequently had to use a spoon I found on the ground to smash the bathroom window. I cut my leg on the glass when I climbed through. While inspecting the wound, I felt a lump in my pocket. It was my house key. FML

Today, I was locked out of my house. With no other available option, I decided to try and ninja my way through a window. However, as it turns out, I would make a terrible ninja. I now have a sprained ankle and a broken window. FML

Today, I spent forty minutes trying to break into my own house after being locked out. After finally getting in through a small unlocked window, I discovered my keys in my pants pocket. FML

Stuck

Today, I found myself locked out of my house. I had to squeeze myself through a tiny window around the back. While hanging upside down, my hood fell over my head. My dog ran through to investigate the noise and ravaged me thinking I was a burglar. I then fell and broke my wrist. FML

Today, I wanted nothing more than to go home and get into bed. While I was unlocking my front door, the flimsy key snapped off inside the lock. A locksmith was called out, who did nothing but sadistically guffaw at my misfortune and crack sarcastic jokes as he undid the lock. FML

Today, I broke my key unlocking my dorm room. When I pushed the door open in frustration, the door opened with no problem. Turns out it was unlocked. FML

Oh no! What if you run out of food? I guess you could ask your neighbour to throw in a pack of noodles through the kitchen window.

Well, I hope you enjoy climbing your window and not look like a burglar...

Let's hope that you broke into the right house and you should call a locksmith to determine the problem.

Get a new lock installed. You probably broke it.

This shouldn't be a huge issue unless your house only has one door...

This happened to me a lot when I was a kid... My parents would get so angry because I had broken windows, screens and doors when locked out after school.... But I was afraid to tell them I was locked out because I would get spanked and grounded for months every time I forgot my key... So I would try to break in without them noticing... It never worked... I always got in trouble.

I was scared of my parents because they were pretty abusive...I would get in serious crap if I told them I didn't have my key,so I tried to break in without them knowing...plus I was just a kid, so I didn't have the best ideas. in retrospect ,of course it was a stupid thing to do, but I was just a scared kid trying not to get a severe beat down.
