Today, while installing a deadbolt on my closet, I did it wrong. It closed but wouldn't lock so I had to re-install it. Sitting on the floor of my closet, I shut it to make sure it was installed correctly. I locked myself in for twenty minutes, home alone, before kicking the door down. FML

umm a deadbolt on my closet because i'm home from college and my sister steals all of my clothes. also, its not a deadbolt but like one of those doorknobs that have a key lock and when you install a new doorknob there is the piece that clicks into the wall when it shuts. I installed it backwards to decided to check and make sure it was right the 2nd time and it clicked therefore, i was locked in the closet because you install the knob after that.

You cant lock yourself in with a deadbolt? You have to physically turn it.

I like how you only waited 20 minutes before kicking the door open. I would've hung out in there for a good minute and waited for someone to let me out aha

You waited 19 mins 59 seconds longer then I would have but then I would of installed it correctly the first time without locking myself in the closet.

OP is obviously trying to make sure the monster in the closet can't escape. She shouldn't have gone in to the cage though; the monster trapped her in there.

There's no way to lock yourself in a closet with a deadbolt. Either you have the locking mechanism facing you and then you just turn the dial or you have the keyed side facing you and then you can't lock it without the key and if you did you'd have the key with you to unlock it.
