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.

At least you made it interesting when you came out of the closet.

This makes no sense. A deadbolt is either 1 side turn handle and 1 side key, or both sides keyed. If you locked yourself in, you either used a key, or turned the handle. There's no accident. Also, really no way to stay locked in if all you need to do is use twist the key or handle the other direction. Unless this is one of those electronic deadbolts with a keypad that automatically lock once the door is closed.
