Bonjour, I am the person who wrote this FML and I thought I would clarify for you guys. The door broke overnight. I went to turn the handle but the mechanism is broken so it didn't move the little metal bit out of the wall (technical terms eh? :P). The hinges were on the other side of the door, and I didn't have anything with which to unscrew them anyway. I resorted to escaping through my window and climbing off my roof. :)

Shouldn’t be hard to kick it open, I’m a 4’11 female that weighs 112lbs and I managed to kick open a fire door when I locked myself out of my flat the day I moved in. My friend accidentally put the catch on whilst we were bringing boxes upstairs.

lol just kick off the door
Jesus Christ, just because the doorknob was broken it doesn't mean the whole damn door needed to be replaced. As said above, OP resolved the issue by taking a header out the window (OK, not exactly) and then they're not making mom or dad foot the bill for an entirely new door and doorknob when only the doorknob needs to be replaced and can be purchased for $10 at the local Home Depot. Talk about overkill.
