a sort of a funny thing happened today..

Actually.... yes, it has happened to me. In my case, I was showering in the basement bathroom and my family was all upstairs on the patio BBQing. The doorknob's lock jammed on me and I could not get out. Not to mention, I did not have a cellphone with me to call someone upstairs for help. I was in there for nearly an hour. I even resorted to screaming up through the vents in hopes that someone in the house would hear it echoing and come let me out.

I honestly can't remember how I eventually got out. Maybe I ended up getting the doorknob off, or it eventually unjammed, because I know no one came looking for me.

When I was very young I got locked in the bathroom at the salon where my dad got his haircut. I was crying so hard!! My mom had to come and talk me through climbing up on the sink and how to unlock the lock. It was a tricky lock, especially for a young child. I was so scared.

I've locked myself out of my house before. I had to go to the neighbors and look up my roommates parent's phone number to call. Of course I was barefoot and braless at the time.
Bruce locked himself out of this house in just his robe and undies. He had to go through the garage and up into the attic and climb down through the attic crawl space in the closet. Why does it always happen when you are half naked?? LOL

oh my your stories made me laugh, yes i could not stop laughing this morning, i know had it been me, my husband would have said what did you do to the lock,and thank goodness it was not me,we have separate toilets here in some houses, so it is a small room,not like a bathroom,oh i am so relieved it was not me stuck in there all day long, i would have had to scream help out the window and hoped someone would hear me lol.

I never had that happen in that exact way... but like Taz_Zoee, I've been locked out of my house.
My ex-hubby and I were standing out front of the apartment talking to the neighbor, in between our front doors, and our kitty was trying to get our attention and turned the deadbolt lock just far enough to lock the door and lock us out! Dave broke the door in so we could get into the house and then repaired the door frame!

I'm the daft woman that constantly locks her keys in the car. I get to thinking about what it is I'm doing, forget the keys IN THE IGNITION, and proceed to exit the car while locking the door. I've called the hubby many times asking for the spare key...

Luckily this tends to happen within walking distance of our house!

I've locked myself out of my condo before when I went downstairs to do the my laundry. I knocked on my neighbors door and I was able to use her phone and I called my dad who was able to come and give me a spare key so I could then get back inside. I did the same thing again but this time my parents and my brother were all at a wedding that day so there was no one that I could call that would have a key. Luckily I had my sliding glass door open to my balcony with only the screen door part closed. I knocked on my neighbors door again and her male roommate was there and he's very tall. I live on the second floor and he was able to climb up the fence and onto my balcony. He then opened the screen door and he was then able to let me into my condo. Now I always double check my pockets for keys before I leave my condo. A few former roommates have also locked themselves out before and they had to call me at work to let me know or they just waited patiently inside the building until I got home.

I've also locked my keys in my car and I had to call AAA to come and open up my car door for me. My current car beeps if you open up the door while the keys are still in the ignition so now this doesn't happen any more.

I got locked in the mens bathroom in a gas station in southern Ohio. Was traveling to see my brother in the hospital, needed to go bad and the womans bathroom was occupied. So I thought I'd be cool and just use the mens. My SIL went and got the attendant and he got the door open.
