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.

Well, at least you got to Sparta Kick a door down. Also, you better fix that before someone finds your stash.

Deadbolt on the closet? Fake. Deadbolts either have a lever or need a key on both sides to lock it. Either way, unless the key part was facing into the closet (if it is a lever deadbolt) you would get out - and if the key part was facing into the closet then no one was on the other side to flip the lever. Also, if the key side was facing in the closet assuming that a lol cat came by and turned the key or flipped the lever, who are you trying to imprison in your friggin' closet!?!?

The way the deadbolt was installed, it seems the OP was more interested in locking people in the closet than out of it.

You pretty much deserved that. But look on the brightside, most people go their entire lives without a legitimate excuse to kick in a door.

Again FAKE because #67, without the knob on you can stick your FINGER into the mechanism and slide the bolt back. Pretty much the way the knob works only the knob covers the mech so someone can't just do that. Fake .... Fake.... Fake. In addition, why would you go IN the closet to see if the door closes solid when standing outside you actually would have... well... light, the ability to make adjustments, etc. This is just a weak attempt. Oh, and if, the VERY unlikely event that someone really is THIS stupid, then YDI for sure for being in college and not knowing how to put on a doorknob or simply keep your sister from "stealing all of your clothes". Oh... so weak...

This has to be fake. Who would install a deadbolt on their closet, and then be stupid enough to lock themselves in? It makes no sense
