<p>My husband lost all the keys to our house so we had all the locks changed, went out took the new keys only to leave one of the essential keys inside the house, came home unable to obviously get back in.  Luckily had left the tiny bathroom window open, I couldn't fit so I sent my 5 year old son through to unlock the back door.  He thought breaking into a house was great fun wants to now do it all the time and told it for his news at school the next day  he wants to break into houses for a job as he is very good at it !!!</p>

<p>Well, I am a Locksmith (and yes I have been locked out, but that is way too embarrasing to post here...) but I once went out to a "lock-out" where the lady had locked the keys in her car. She was working and could not come out and was unsure of her number plate, but described her car clearly to me on the phone. I turned up to the paking lot, looking for a white VN commodore with blue stripe and a fluffy steering wheel cover. Found it easily. Opened the car and started looking around inside for the keys when the owner of the car (not the lady i spoke to!) turned up and accused me of trying to steal her car!!! A few rows over was the car I was supposed to open...ooops!!!!</p>

<p>I got locked out of the car on new years day. We were all up in the country for new years day races and when we arrived everyone else had eskies and blankets for the day and being hungover we'd forgotten to do any of this. So a friend and i decided to take a hit for the team and drive for an hour to get the esky and beers. We loaded up the boot with heaps of alcohol and proclaimed ourselves "the best blokes of 2005" and then I shut the boot. However I'd locked the keys in the boot and that was it. Couldn't get onto a locksmith, couldn't back to races and couldn't contact anyone there as there was no phone reception. So me and my friend just went to the pub, which was still nice.</p>

<p>I get locked out all the time.<br />
The worse time was at a surf comp at Manly beach.<br />
I surfed my heat and came back to my van and discovered Ide locked the keys inside. Because I do this with regulary i normally have a spare key hidden under it, but I didnt replace it from the last time I locked myself out.</p>

<p>So, Im dripping wet in a wetsuit with a few hundred people walking past watchinmg me try to break into my van with the radio antenna Ide snapped off........</p>

<p>The funny part of the story :)<br />
Im a Locksmith !!<br />
and it says so in  very large letters all over my van.</p>

<p>I got in of course , and I like to think, that I made a few peoples day a little bit happier that day.</p>

<p>Stll it was very embarrasing :(</p>

<p>Once, while in the middle of moving house, I managed to lock the only set of keys for the new house inside the house while we had two car loads of gear waiting to be unloaded. We called the locksmith who easily opened the door (after we waited about an hour for him). Then when we wnet back to the old house I managed to lock the keys to the new houase in my car along with my car keys, after a few atempts and another hour I was at the point where I was going to smash the window when a guy from next door managed to break into my car and retrieve the keys. Then we loaded up the cars again and went to the new house (about 7pm) where we foud that the locksmith had stuffed the lock to the front door so our key wouldnt work and the realestate had given us keys that didnt fit any of the other doors, so we had to call the lock smith back (another hour) to let us back in, he was kind enough to mention he wouldnt charge us for the second trip though!!</p>

<p>it was 7am in the morning and i'd been out all night, drunk as a skunk and had lost my keys during my nights adventures. i'd jumped the fence checking every door and window but all were locked except the one that we always left unlocked because it was so high up we didnt think anyone could break in through it.<br />
it was higher than my own height, the kitchen window, and the taps and sink were just inside.<br />
even though i could hardly walk i somehow managed to get in when i wouldn't give up climbing the brick wall, i ended up falling over the sink onto the floor the taps opened up as i fell through and i was all scratched and bruised and wet, wakign up in the morning discovering mud in my bed as i slept in my shoes aswell.</p>

<p>I had a few beverages one evening and wandered home to realise that I didn't have a key, as this was not an unusual feat, I just thought I would break in, one of the 105 ways that it was possible to break in to this particular house, any way my girlfriend decided it a good idea to ding the door bell as many times as she could while I was negating the obsticles to the back door any way, being quite intoxicated I was trying to climb over the gate to unlatch it, and halfway over my trusty dock martin slipped off the centremetre wide rail leaving my arm hanging over the gate with the sharp end of the picket pierceing my underarm. I woke up the next day with blood everywhere and the doctors couldn't stitch it because of where it was, needless to say I was in pain for weeks and trying to dry a wound in your armpit during a heat wave is a mean feat.</p>

<p>When I was living in London I was living on the first floor in an apartment building. I woke up one morning to go to the loo and was wearing just a jumper and knickers and the bedroom door shut and locked behind me. The front door was also bolted and I needed to get the keys from inside my bedroom to unlock the front door so I could get help. My mobile was locked in my bedroom and my flatmates were on holiday and had locked the home phone in their room. I was moving out and had no food in the kitchen. I thought I could wait for the post man to come so he could get help but there was also the problem of no pants. I found a garbage bag in the kitchen and made a skirt out of it and proceeded to wait. The spare room was next to mine but the windows were at least 2 metres apart, but there was a downpipe between the windows I thought if I could get out on the ledge I could reach across and get to the downpipe and then across to my window sill but worried about whether the downpipe would hold me. I decided to give this a go so there I am out on the window sill with my garbage bag skirt scaling the apartment block. It all happened so fast but I managed to make it across to my window sill. Then I still had to get ready for work.</p>

<p>Me too.... and he'd been dead for a week! all bloated up like "sloth" in "Seven". took a two days to get the smell out of my nose. Urgh.</p>

<p>Then, to top my day off, I went home to my Girl and said I had a really bad day and needed to talk. She said it would have to wait until buffy was finished. Needless to say we broke up not long afterwards.</p>

<p>I don't get locked out of my house because some of the windows are too hard to close because they are broken and you can just step through them, but I don't mind because I never have the annoying chink, chink, chink of keys in my pocket.  But what I really wanted to say is my slightly askew friend Rebeckah left me and went to England in the hope to find more people like herself (because we heard thats where you can find them).  I have been lost with out someone to talk absolute borang with and the two of you have filled the gapping hole left in my life...please don't leave me as well, I love you guys!</p>

<p>awhile ago, after one of my drunken escapades (not the one when i woke up in bed with a tub of yoghurt and a 1kg block of chesse-gnawed) i awoke to find glass all over the hallway floor. "well", i thought, "someone had a big night." of course, it turned out to be me (so that dream about bricks and smashing sounds wasn't a dream?!). the big stupidily stupid thing is that i found my keys in my pocket, where they always are, stupid/expensive! </p>

<p>i spose that means i wasn't locked out.</p>

<p>I wasn't locked out, but I was locked in....locked in my own bathroom. Our bathroom has those public toilet locks that say 'Engaged' and 'Vacant', and unfortunately the bar wouldn't move after I had finished going to the loo. My sisters walked past and heard a pathetic whimpering calling for help. My dad ended up undoing the fly screen and passing a screwdriver through the window. Now all we have are broken memories of our precious lock, and a peep hole through the bathroom door. Very Norman Bates.</p>

<p>Not so much a lock out experience, but a failure to lock... and just about everything else to do with security!!!<br />
The wife and I went shopping one Sunday afternoon, walked out the house, got in the car and drove to the shops... so far so good.<br />
Any hoo, we'd finished walking the aisles and were proceeding through the checkout and received the total, when my wife realised that she'd misplaced her purse. We looked at each other, then at the trolley and wasn't to be seen. She notified the checkout chick and as causally as you like, she stooped down and pulled out a purse and said "Is this it?" What a coincidence it was at THIS checkout and what a relief - nothing taken!!!<br />
So, with faith in human nature restored, we proceeded back to the car, only to find both front windows fully open and the doors unlocked... <br />
AND nothing taken or touched (PS: this was in Penrith too).<br />
So, confused, bewildered and thankful, we drove home.. got to the front door, and you guessed it, it was wide open!</p>

<p>2 days before Christmas. After arriving home late from work at our business, realised we had no keys to get in house. No problem, have the auto garage remote. Flat batteries. No entry. 2 story house, find one upstairs window open, on side of house without verandah. Remember that we have ladder at work from putting up decorations. Drive back to work. Take ladder home. (Unfolds to extension ladder) Climb extension ladder, barely reach window from top, quite hairy. Wreck screen trying to get off from window frame. Have to jump from ladder to get up to get in window, catch shirt and rip shirt. Stuff all in the way of window (teenagers room) Try to get in without wrecking everything. Pull hamstring trying to get through window without crushing all below. Pain of hamstring causes leg to give way and fall onto edge of bed, hitting head on bed frame. Large lump on head. Finally in, open doors and both inside. Go down to pack up ladder and when taking ladder into garage, checked where key was often left (secret spot) for teenager to get in, and discovered key was in place. Merry Christmas</p>

<p>Arrived home intoxicated and realised I'd forgotten/lost my door key.  Snuck under the house which resulted in a high piercing shreik from the garage door.  Upstairs, my husband heard this and thought we were being broken into again.  Meanwhile I had found a crowbar and climbed the stairs to remove a louvre and use the crowbar to pop the door catch.  My husband called out my name, found it WAS me and let me in.  I proceded to lull him in his own language after which he went to bed and so did I a while later.  REALITY:  I stumbled past muttering "sleep, sleep" in Bulgarian, to a WIDE awake Bulgarian, and woke in the morning to find my keys clipped to my skirt where I keep them so as not to lose them while out drinking.</p>

<p>While at the Falls Festival a few years back, my friend lost her car keys in the Grinspoon mosh pit never to be found again. All our food was in the car So we asked around and many claimed they could break into cars, but not the model we had. In the end we found one guy who would give it a go. We tore apart some fairy wings and he got to work with a coat hanger. After about 10 or 15 minutes of trying to unlock it i could see my control freak friend bursting to have a go, so i gave her the other coat hanger (fairy wings totally dismantled now), and she opened it straight away. The guy who tried to open walked away, his male ego totally crushed. But we didn't care we sat in the car and ate all the food in the car for about an hour as we hadn't eaten for days. Then we had to call our friends parents to drive the four hour trip up to Lorne to deliver the spare keys. They weren't happy!</p>

<p>Y'know what would be scary?</p>

<p>If the ACTUAL nanna was in hospital and had just died and the family was there and just as she passed away the family looked out the window and saw nanna floating by attached to lots of balloons...</p>

<p>They'd be a bit confused about the afterlife I reckon...</p>

<p>Maybe start a new balloon-afterlife cult....</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I have a number of locked out experiences:</p>

<p>1. While still living with my parents I forgot to take my keys with me when leaving in the morning for work.  When I arrived home, I saw that Dad's car was there so I knocked on the front door.  As Dad was a night shift worker at the time he was asleep, and no matter how much noise I could make on the front door I couldn't stir him.  Solution - get the garden hose and squirt it on the upstairs bedroom window.</p>

<p>2.  Also while still at home, the door handle on my upstairs bedroom door broke while I was in it.  After several hours of thumping on the floor to the kitchen downstairs directly below my room and several written notes passed under the door, my mum eventually saved me.</p>

<p>3.  Like Steph above, I had a Falls Festival incident a few years ago.  My friend grabbed my keys to open the boot and left half of the key in the hole.  We had to wait for ages on the day when everyone was leaving for a locksmith to make another key for us to travel the 900ks home.</p>

<p>4.  Recently, my partner went overseas for work and left his keys behind.  I decided to go for a walk, and so not to carry so much bulky things, downsized my key ring by taking all keys off except for the house keys.  Shut the door behind me, went to lock the screen door and discovered I had picked up the wrong set of keys and had everything but the front door.  Luckily I had my mobile on me and a quick call to the locksmith sorted it out (expensively).</p>

<p>not so much locked out as locked in, but it's a true story and fairly relevant.....</p>

<p>i was sleeping in my tent that i just got for christmas and woke up in the middle of the night with a screaming need to wee, as a result of the heavy drinking that accompanies a new years eve celebration. it was pitch black, and my girlfriend and i, not being experienced campers, had not brought an instrument of illumination (torch). at first i was fairly calm - how hard would it be to find a zip? but after a couple of minutes of blind fumbling the panic started to set in. it was a deranged panic that i hadn't experienced before, and can only be understood when you are primed with an enormous wee that isn't going to wait for anything, stuck in a tent with your girlfriend, possibly til first light in the morning. and all you have to do is find a zip to get out, but it just isn't bloody there! alice joined the fray, disbelieving how hard it could be to locate a zip - even in her clear headed state she soon came to agree with my conclusion that the zip had disappeared. sensing my panic, alice was also starting to worry. she could see the distress i was in, and really didn't want to be stuck in a urine filled tent til morning. by this time i was delirious and not capable of helping, i was manically clawing at the tent walls and making groaning noises. i gestured pleadingly at an empty bottle lying on the tent floor. normally alice would have hit me; in this situation she sufficed with a firm no and a death stare. 'Oooh', i wailed in reply, my eyes were watering, capable thought had left my brain, just an intense burning in my lower abdomen remained. </p>

<p>then alice had a brainwave, as she is wont to do. the tent had come complete with 'super accessible convenience flaps' which we had previously sniggered at; they were the size of maybe a cat flap and were supposed to be used for putting your shoes in and out of the flaps. do you reckon you could fit through there, she profferred (i am a small, skinny man). i didn't, but at this stage i was willing to try anything. i can't explain to you how difficult it was, there were two flaps to negotiate, at right angles to each other and seperated by a chamber as big as a basketball. somehow, sweaty, slippery, not overly flexible, and to my enormous relief, i writhed my way through the gap, and out into the open air. grouse!</p>

<p>in all the drama i had neglected to put any clothing on, and my friend who witnessed this final act said (when he finished laughing) it looked like the tent was giving birth. i did the wee, which, for the record, went for 1 minute and 16 seconds, then returned to the tent, unzipped it with ease, and fell into a deeply satisfied sleep.</p>

<p>as an interesting footnote, the next morning i tried to crawl throught the 'super accessible convenience flaps' and found it impossible. miracle? you decide...</p>

<p>My sister left me to look after her swanky city apartment for the easter long weekend a few years back. being a little over zealous in the organisation of the party i was not allowed to throw i ran out to the shops for supplies leaving the keys behind. I thus had to spend all my party money paying a locksmith to come and get me in...</p>

<p>Worst part... he opened the bloody door with a credit card and said i could have easilly done it myself. After a couple of practice rounds i found this to be true... he still of course charged me for the visit!!!</p>

<p>one time it was raining really hard and we had to make a dash from the car to dads flat as he started to turn the key it broke off in the lock. two hours later a locksmith came to our place and told us the key was one of those stupid aluminium keys so it took another half hour for him to get the damn thing out and cut another key. and in the end we had to pay $80 for having an aluminium key</p>

<p>The best 'locked out' story I have started at a Beach Party in South-West England (Salcombe). I left the party with a friend to join some more friends who were partying in a boutique hotel. As my friend &amp; I wandered down the tiny street at 1.30am we saw a Police Van (Meat-Wagon) pull around the corner. We were both slightly 'adjusted' &amp; semi-sus looking, so naturally the cop's (8 of them) jumped out &amp; had us both up against a wall with flashlights in our eyes, pockets &amp; about our general person. They arrested my friend on some trumped up BS charge &amp; left me wandering the streets dazed &amp; confused on my own. In this confused state I managed to find the Boutique Hotel which was shut. I then proceeded to climb up a Fire Escape, across two roofs, step across a chasm that had a 40 foot drop (I only noticed that the following morning), and eventually got to my friends bedroom window on the 5th floor &amp; made him &amp; other friends in the room fill their pants when I knocked loudly on the Bedroom window shouting 'I've just been frisked by the Old Bill'........ As you can imagine, we still share some good larf's about that night today......</p>

<p>Because I was too drunk to talk or stand up I made my boyfriend take me home early from his best friends birthday party. <br />
As my boyfriend helped the taxi driver clean out the vomit from the taxi and hand over another $50 on top of the fare he gave me his keys to go into the house. Forgetting in my drunken stuper that he doesn't have a key to the front door only the back, I naturally went to the front door to snap the back door key in the front door lock. <br />
Once he had finished with the taxi driver my boyfriend found me on the ground beneth our bedroom window bleeding because I had attampted to jump through the window and missed. He picked me up gave me a kiss, went got through the bedroom window and put me to bed......... Bless him and his cotton socks.</p>

<p>I've been locked out of my house 3 times in 3 years, first time I walked to the Pub and waited 3 hours in my work clothes for hubby to come home.  Second time I borrowed the neighbours child to crawl in through the laundry window forgetting to warn him that the dog was inside but luckilly he didn't attack, paid the child in lollies, and the third time I was desperate, we keep the bathroom window open because it is so high and so small we figure no one can get in, so I wheeled the bbq under it and climbed up on that, got one leg through which wasn't easy and then was kinda stuck. I am a 44 year old Nanna!, 5'4" and 76 kgs so not petite. My head was squashed into my chest and I just kept sucking in until I could squeeze through, took a good 5 minutes. I had no choice, once I got the first leg through I couldn't get it out again!. I have two spare keys hidden in the garden now. Tracy.<br />

<p>One night, in one of the more undesirable suburbs of Perth, a friend and I locked the keys in the car outside red rooster.</p>

<p> After trying to break in ourselves, some guy came up and offered to give us a hand, telling us "I used to do this sort of thing all the time." He went to his dodgey looking car, and pulled out a toolkit containing anything and everything you'd ever need to break into a car, and within about 15 seconds, he had the door open. </p>

<p>We never knew petty car theives could be so useful. We thanked him, and he left, pleased to have got a bit of extra practise.</p>

<p>I'd taught my dog to shut the door behind him when we lived in the Adelaide hills in the winter.  After returning with the grocery shopping one day, I got out of the car, walked up the path and opened the front door and went back out to the car to get the bags.  My dog happily ran on in ahead of me and promptly slammed the door in my face. I waited until my partner came home to get in.</p>

<p>Living in Sydney and working in Kings Cross, my car got broken into on a regular basis. Sick of replacing the locks, and never having anything worth stealing, I got into the habit of leaving the driver's door unlocked so I didn't have to climb in through the boot all of the time (it was a hatchback). That was until one night I returned to my car to find that not had someone "broken in", they had then locked the door on their way out again. Just in case someone else wanted a go? After that I left all of the doors open.</p>

<p>On a fishing holiday with my brother in New Zealand, we stayed at a small pub in the central North Island. Rocked up latein the evening, got pissed with the local Maori people, really friendly. Anyway my Brother went partying once the bar closed, he got back to the pub at around 2.0 a.m. Pub was locked, temperature about -5degrees celsius outside . He banged on the door for about 2 hrs gradually becoming hypothermic until I fianlly woke up, heard him and let him in.  The fact he was almost paraletic and stoned out of his head probably prevented him from freezing to death. Never heard of a pub locking its clientele out - only in New Zealand?</p>

<p>My mum and sister were traveling to brissy to see a doc down there and left on the tilt train at some ridiculous hour in the morning. (5 am). They woke me up for skool. On the way out they had happend to lock the back door. So when i left for skool in the morning i shut the front door which automatically deadlocks. So when mum and my sis came home at 9:30p.m. they found out that the only way they could get in is taking out the front leavers (this is a rental house). My mum's friend then had to have her headlights on high so we could see what was happening.

We have locks with those old-fashioned keys, big bastards that jam you through your pocket, the sort that have a keyhole you casn look through.<br />
Well she "accidently" left the key in the door, on the f*&amp;#ing inside of the door so I couldn't get my key in. Pretty good trick given it was the middle of a Tassie winter.<br />

Except when we carpooled once.  Tired after a long day, we decided to get fish and chips for dinner then got home and realised I had no house keys.  With no other choice but to drive back into work, we ate fish and chips in the driveway of home - ropable that I didn't have any sauce for my chips.</p>

<p>NEVER leave your toddler, even for a moment, in a car with central locking.  Our son managed to hit the lock button and locked himself in!  We were at a car yard and i was looking at a car and my partner was waiting with my son in the car.  She stepped out of the car to call out to me and then it happened.  It was a warm day and i had visions of smashing the window to save my son. <br />
I tried to get him to push the button again... "listen to daddy, push it, go on, please, come on, come on, please, come on" it turned into a bit of a spectacle with people in the car yard looking on disapprovingly.

<p>I got home from a day out and there was only one window open - the third floor window. I had a mini dress thing and stillettos on - it was a day to impress. it was pretty much broad daylight and i really needed to piss. i know the people who live in my street and i would rather die than be seen pissing on the lawn ahha. So... it was absolutely imperative that i got inside asap. To climb, i had to strip off everything but my bra and g-banger. after the challenge of getting onto the balcony and then the split roof, i found that the window was hinge and wouldnt open more than half a matre at the most. the window ledge was up to my boobs, and with the ledge so high up and the space of less than half a metre... the only possible way to get in was to go in head first and handstand into the window. when i got half-way in... my sister arrived home in a taxi. she will never let me forget how she came home and just saw my ass protruding from the third floor window.</p>

<p>I went away for a week once, leaving my slightly unhinged flatmate home alone. One night he thought he'd like some chocolate pudding, so he whipped out the sara lee from his stash and stuck it in the oven. A couple of minutes later a friend rang and asked him if he wanted to go to the pub. He thought that'd be great, so off he went... with no keys and the pudding still in the oven. He later realised he'd forgotten the keys but still didn't remember the pudding, so he thought bugger it i'll just stay at my mates place till pete gets back. Five days later and i still hadn't returned so he decided he needed to change his clothes, so brick met bathroom window and he was in. He followed the burny smell to the oven and found his pudding, now severely shrunken and hard as a rock. He realised how lucky he was that our crappy oven only burned at about 100 degrees max and did the only thing to do in this situation. He and his friend played soccer with his pudding to coles, threw it on the roof and bought a new pudding.</p>

I locked my poor nanna in the car once, she had bad arthritis in her hands and couldn't physically lift the door latch.  After a short roll around on the grass holding my belly i managed to unlock the door with a coathanger.</p>

<p>One night just after a separation, I came home from the pub then after starting to get ready for bed (it was summer and I lived alone), I decided to put a movie on.  Soon it started to rain so I went to put the pot plant outside.  Next thing a breeze, a bang and there I was at midnight with only a shirt for my modesty and all doors securely shut.</p>

<p>There remained only one key in existence outside of the house - with my ex who still had it from moving her gear out.</p>

<p>Nothing left to do but to dart 15 minutes across town at midnight, in the rain, keeping to shadows, and knocking on her door pleading for my key back.</p>

<p>She failed to see the funny side but woke to think I was merely drunk and looking for company.</p>

<p>These days I keep a key outside!</p>

<p>This didn't happen to me, it happened to a friend of a friend of mine, who's cat's mothers owner's cousins friend related the anicdote to a porcupine.<br />
This person, who we shall name Mrs "X" managed to lock herself out of the car in front of a semi reputable greasy fast food giant. I won't name which, just that it is run by an absolute clown.<br />
Her first phonecall was to the local roadside assistance agency.<br />
After waiting for two and a half hours in the sweltering heat, the RAC man finally shows himself. (Whether he said "Boo" or not is still the subject of narrow speculation)<br />
After inspecting the vehicle to confirm that it was in fact locked, he went to work.<br />
He cracked his knuckles in preparation, and shook the sweat from his eyes, casually shooing a fly as he did so. He was obviously a master of his own domain. He hitched his pants up a little higher to present slightly less crack. (An extraordinary sign of respect in some trade circles) He approached the driver side door with a professional swagger, once again revealing slightly more crack. The tension in the air was immence. A local Kookaburra dare not cook. All nearby eyes were looking away from his crack.<br />
He turned side on to the vehicle and took a breath. With his hip, he let out a sideways thrust, fully closing the slightly ajar door popping up the locking mechainsim as it closed.<br />
The man was branded a hero and carried high up in the seat of his ute for a lap of honour around the drive through.<br />
True story, it happened to a friend of a friend of mine, who's cat's mothers owner's cousins friend related the anicdote to a porcupine.</p>

<p>And some even say that the hero and his trusty crack can be seen bending over bonnets to this very day.</p>

<p>Truly, truly amazing.<br />
Truly, truly borange.</p>

<p>I have been locked out as often as the next bloke,and so have climbed through plenty of windows (1st &amp; 2nd floor), lifted roof tiles for a ceiling entry and even picked a lock or two. However my greatest effort was alchohol induced. Upon returning home one cold winters night, my wife and I realised that there were no keys between us, without missing a beat I found a stray esky lid and proceeded to shove it through our bedroom window. As you could imagine I was pretty pleased with my efforts and so rewarded myself by going straight to sleep in said bedroom. When I woke up I not only had one hell of a hang-over, but also a cold and a $200- bill to repair the smashed window as it was the largest window in the house.</p>

<p>Having been burgled while living in a share house in Newtown, we requested locks for all our bedroom doors. Obviously this was destined to end in tears. I went out cycling one day and took with me my keys to the house, but not my room, safe in the knowledge that someone would be home all day. I got home after a three hour ride and jumped straight in the shower, as you do. My soon-to-be ex had gone out, unbeknownst to me, to get drunk with a friend, and locked our room up. All my other housemates had also gone out, sensibly locking their rooms. So here I was, wet (Towel was in room) and naked, with only my stinking cycle gear to put on. I had to walk down King Street and into the Newtown Hotel, wet and in my cycling shorts and jersey (mmmm, lycra) to get the room key from my ex. The place was packed with very sceney gay men, including her friend, and I was the butt of merciless jokes for some time to come. NEVER TRUST ANYONE! Did I mention we broke up?</p>

<p>I've been locked IN my flat! Had both a front and back door on an older style second floor flat that both had deadlocks. I was severely hungover one morning and couldnt remember where I'd left my keys when I came home ( or which pants I'd worn ). It forced me to do some housework but eventually found them sometime much later in the afternoon. I was way too embarressed to phone anybody and at least my place got a good cleaning.</p>

<p>15 years ago when I was growning up in Ashington (15 odd miles from Newcastle, England). My Mother locked us out of the house for ... well being little shits really. Fortunately though I was small enough to be able to reach through the Letter box on the front door and reach up to the door lock. </p>

<p>My plan was going well until it was time to remove my arm from the letter box which had swollen due to the tight fit to reach the lock. My brother laughing his arse off yelled for mam and dad, whom both came running to see what was going on and also burst into laughter.</p>

<p>1 hour passes and I'm STILL stuck in the letter box. With a now building audience of passerby's watching, pointing and laughing. It was time to call the Fire Brigade. </p>

<p>....... yes yes YES. The door had to be removed. The letter box had to be removed and the jaws of life to cut it open. A tromatic time for a 8year old but who's face ended up on the 6o'clock news!</p>

<p>Only way out she thought was to drive the car through the roller door, or run through (and break) the backdoor into the house.</p>

<p>She choose the second option.</p>

<p>After 3 attempts of trying to run throught the door it finally broke off the hinges.</p>

<p>i have a few stories.<br />
1.when i was really little we were renting a house and 4 the first time(very exciting) my parents left me at home alone for about 20mins.the door automatically locked.i went outside and the door closed. and locked.so i sat on the front steps for ages crying and waiting for my parents to come back.<br />
2.we used to keep a spare key in a kayak which was hung up quite high upside down.i was too short to reach it.(i think i still can't but we don't have the key there anynore so it doesn't matter)i came home from school no key with me house completely locked.can't break in from downstairs cos when u r half way up stairs alarm goes off.so i found a plastic chair which i stood on and i put my hand through heaps of cobwebs, i hate spiders and coouldnt even see in, and felt around 4 ages.no key.this is about 4 in the arvo.so then i waited outside untill about 5:30 in tasmanian winter 4 my mum to come home.she didnt have a key either.we called my dad. he wasnt gonna b home for another hour or so.mum went to have a look in the kayak.she came back.with a key.i had been to short to reach in far enough to find it. to top it all i had heaps of homework due in the next day.<br />
3.this one is funny. my bro is really really tall.he is slim, but thanks to his height he would ave no chance of climbing through the bathroom window.i came home from school and he was there b4 me.his bag was on the front porch, so i was a bit surprised at the door being locked alarm on. I let myself in and heard a wierd noise from the bathroom. went in and saw my bro trying to take off the flyscreen. i guess be didn't think about the things such as he wouldn't b able to fit through, it has a window lock on it so that if he managed to open it in the first place he would only b able to get it open about 10 cm and that i would b home in 15mins at the most.</p>

<p>When I lived at home, my bedroom had it's own door into the backyard. To save disturbing the whole house when I came home after a big night out, I would leave this door unlocked and go straight to bed. Except for those few nights when I forgot to unlock it before I went out. </p>

Luckily my balcony door was open with my keys hanging in the lock... but how to get up to the balcony from the ground? we tried climbing, jumping.. nothing worked!!  And being xmas day no locksmiths were open, my boyfriend and my flat mate were both away at family do's in the country and we didn't know who else to try! so after driving round to see if we could borrow a ladder or something from a friend we ended up at the local fire station and the kind guys down there gave me a lift back to my apartment in the fire truck!!! and put the ladder up to get my keys! phew!! luckily nothing was burnt in the oven and xmas lunch started without any other hitches!! hehe!! good ol mum!</p>

<p>i dont think ive been locked out as such.. but i have been locked in. it would have been about 12 years ago (i was 6), and we'd just moved into our new house. it was new years eve and i needed to go to the bathroom, but when i went in, i locked the door without thinking. it was about 5mins off the countdown for the new year, so i figured id have time. what i didnt bank on, was the fact that i couldnt get the bathroom door open... (id forgotten id locked it, and the thought hadnt even occurred to me that i had). i spent ages trying to get the damn thing open, banging on the door and shouting for someone to help me, but the music was too loud and everyone was downstairs so they didnt hear me. i could hear them all having a good time, and there i was, locked in the loo. i was actually stuck in there for about 15 minutes, during which i heard everyone count down and cheer the new year. i was so miserable. starting the new year locked in the lavatory. what was worse was the feeling i had after i realised that the problem could be solved by a simple flick of a latch. happy new year...</p>

Before we got to the door she opened her bag to search for the key but she couldnt find it, so we emptied her bad but still couldnt find it. Corey decided to go around the back to the laundry door but her mum had put a ruler in the window sill so it couldnt open. Then she attempted to open the toilet window 0_o. Soon after i called her mum on my mobile while corey was still around the back (about half an hour later) she then told me it was unlocked! so i just opened the door and walked into the bathroom to find corey trying to get through the window.. haha she shit herself</p>

<p>A couple of years ago, shortly after I started a new job, I had the urge to take a bathroom brake. I dropped into the mens to find that all the cubicals were occupied, so in a bit of quick thinking I thought I'd pop downstairs to avoid the uncumfortable wait.  I took the stairwell immediately next to the bathroom.  After getting to lower door to exit found that it was locked from the inside.<br />
In an effort to not to embarrass myself by using the alarmed door at the bottom of the stairwell, I attempted to 'break out' using a credit card and my shoelaces.<br />
After an hour, I gave up and furiously knocked on the door until someone let me out.  VERY embarrasing!!</p>

James was late, we missed our plane, Pauleen went without us to hungry and we were to now arrive 24hours later. I'd given James the house keys which he left in left luggage at heathrow overnight. We were in the centre of london, about to get one of the last tubes home when I realised that James had  left the keys behind. We had a choice- tube home and try and climb in a second story room or back to Heathrow, but a 70pound taxi fare home. <br />
we went home- thankfully my flatmates who were supposed to go away, had decided to leave a day later and saved us the climb</p>

<p>there's always the time i was locked out of my boyfriend's home on a mssive bush property near the Hunter Valley, car keys etc all inside. there's a secret spot for the spare key but all those plants look the same to me. (later discovered the key wasn't there that day anyway!...) after several attempts managed to somehow squeeze through the tiny toilet window! - sideways of course.   ...But more interesting is the time i was locked IN.  I live in a flat in Newcastle and it is riddled with security doors and locks, cage on windows etc.  we've always claimed it as a fire trap since the doors are double locked (ie keyhole both sides; you can't release either side without a key).  And the real estate won't give us more than 1 key each, unable to cut them either... It was a Sunday, I was in a hurry, and as my car takes a few minutes to warm up, I saved time by locking the open door to the flat and stopping it with the stopper, starting up my car and continuing packing stuff into the car from the flat. When finished i released the stopper and almost shut the door.  remembered one more thing, wandered back in and a gust of wind blew the locked door shut.  the back door was open - went into the courtyard, gate locked, no key.  tried to climb but picket top and lattice close above fence prevented. Plan B - upstairs door to balcony - locked (i have climbed down a nearby tree before!).  Had no idea what to do.  tried neighbour's no. - no answer.  (My car's still running, choke on, remember?) Who could I call?  I was due at an important gig very soon.  i recalled that even though it was a weekend, there was a concert on at the place i worked for my weekday job.  it was just around the corner.  i called the caretaker of that building who thankfully was around, came over, turned my car off, rescued me.  Unbelievable. ..oh yeah, and then he made some comment about Ghostbusters...   Finally, with the same apartment, my sister has been locked out a number of times.  Strange thing is, she has managed to climb up on a wheelie bin to the balcony...but can only do it pissed.  We tried it sober the next day and she's no idea how she managed it!</p>

<p>I was coming home from a party and didn’t have any cash on me, I was going to get it from inside the house, as it turns out no one was home and I didn’t have a key. I looked around the house to see if a window was open and even tried to get in through the roof, stumbling around drunk. I was in a bit of a panic as the taxi was still waiting for me.</p>

<p>I couldn’t get in so I asked the taxi driver to take me to the ATM, which was about 1km down the road but it was closed. The nearest other ATM was about 8 km away so I asked the taxi driver to drive me there. Halfway the taxi driver said that this was going to cost me a fortune and said he would drop me off home and I could send him the money.</p>

<p>Once he dropped me off, I spent a bit of time looking around and then decided my only chance was too lift a out a sliding window, which was surprisingly easy. Once in I went to the front door and opened it to get the stuff I left there. It was then I noticed this small statue to my right, I lifted it up and there was a spare key.</p>

<p>My lock out was when I was living at Newtown, about my 4th day living there i locked the keys in my room. There was a little window up above the door that i could climb into, pyjama's and all, though there was a bit of a leap, i had to clear the dressing table. Anyway i jumped in and successfully landed on my two feet. However i couldn't walk for about a week and half my feet were killing me, after 2 weeks i went to the doctor and she gave me some cream which healed it immediately.</p>

<p>I was going to put a bag of rubbish in the bin out the front of the house on Bourke St (Surry Hills) in my "jammies" when the front door slammed shut and locked me out amidst peak hour traffic. The neighbours (who I'd never met prior) were greeted by me with no underwear and a an old "50 Million Beers" tshirt that was falling to bits being nervously stretched to hide my private bits, asking if I could come into their home. They were kind enough to allow me passage through to their backyard, where I scaled the back fence and was safely back home moments later. I must've had an honest face...?!</p>

<p>I was coming back to work at the start of this week, after going away on holidays then falling sick for an extra week (no, really!). I was all packed and ready to drive off to the shop, then realised I didn't have the shop keys on me at all. Much panic happened, and the house was turned upside down trying to find them. I wound up having to call a locksmith to open the store. After he'd popped two of my locks, my boss called to ask why I wasn't answering the work phone. I told him what had happened, and he went "oh yeah, I have your keys here." So I cracked the shits at him, and now he owes me $70 that he's hoping I'll forget about.</p>

<p>I work for a road side assistance company and part of my job is breaking in to cars when people have locked there keys, babys and animals in the car and have been for 2 years now you would of thought i would have gotten used to people doing this but every time i get a call to someone who has done this i still think to my self what an idiot, but the wost thing is i went to a job once and locked my own keys in the work van and thought nothing of it until i realised that the back of the van was locked to so i had no tools to even break into my own vehicle so i had to call someone else who works for the same company to break into my car for me.<br />

<p>My partner and I hadnt been out alone since the birth of our daughter, who was 18 months old at the time of this lockout. some friends volunteered their help, so off we set to dinner and a movie. After all the ads had finished the phone vibrated in my pocket, i had to answer it in the lobby, crashing down the stairs in the dark. it was Nanna(!) calling to say the baby sitters where locked out of the house. so we had to rush home and help them out. they had gone out the front to walk our daughter around a bit when the door with deadbolt, slammed shut. all of our keys where inside, so up on the roof i went, lifted some tiles, found the man hole and promptly fell onto the laundry floor injuring my shoulder. so much for a nice night out!</p>

<p>When i was in kindergarten, mum forgot to come pick me up.  Wasn't that bad though because the school was across the road.  Anyway, so i walked across the road (which is really scary when you're 5).  We had a gate that blocked off the driveway so i managed to climb over that, went to the back door and luckily mum left it unlocked.  I then stole a packet of chips and hid it in my room, and was glad i wasn't stuck standing outside school for the next hour until mum came home.</p>

<p>My mate Damien (no, not me.....let's call him Damien Smith) was locked out of my flat a couple of years ago.  We had a flat party and gave it the large one for most of the night, causing the front door buzzer to go off at various stages through the night.  Anyway, the night eventually came to a close and we all went to bed.  A few mates, including Dame Smith slept on the lounge room floor.<br />
Even though our flat was on the second story, Dame managed to sleepwalk his way down 2 flights of stairs and outside onto the driveway so he could have a piddle (he's a country boy at heart... ;p ) So, he woke up during this piddle and looked down to his shock to see him pissing in the driveway, with NO PANTS ON AT ALL!  (Country boy - likes to give his boys room to roam overnight) He scurried back to the security door only to find that he had been LOCKED OUT!  Needless to say, the next hour of buzzer pressing did him no good because we all thought it was the grumpy neighbours trying to get us back! Man did i laugh when i got up!</p>

<p>well actually, I had just moved into my new house and for some reason I went into the back garden just after I got up and bang the door slammed behind me, I was wearing only an ancient T shirt and very bad hair. Luckily there was a small towel on the washingline, I had to wrap this round my waist and go and meet the neighbours so I could call my husband to come and let me in, I spent an hour on the sofa of a champion neighbour, looking like something the cat dragged in but she was great!<br />

<p>It was my first day of a new job. My then bf has agreed to drive me there and drop me off (well, I drove there because I knew where it was and he was going to then hop in the driver's seat and drive home).  Anyway, we got there (the whole reason for him dropping me off is because there was NO parking around where I worked), I pulled up, got out, he got out, left the car running because he was going to drive straight home, but as we both hopped out we BOTH locked our doors.  Keys inside car, car still running, car standing in a 2 minute drop-off zone. Well I had to go to work so he had to wait there for 45 mins with no shoes on. In retrospect he deserved it :D</p>

<p>Many years ago an American friend and myself were in Sweeden and staying with this guy who we had met in Germany.<br />
We had gone to a party and were having a good time when we noticed that our guest had dissappeared, anyway we kicked on for a while not really caring how we would get back into the unit untill we got there.<br />
When we got back to the unit we could see the TV reflecting in the window the phone was off the hook and things were starting to look grim (He lived on the 1st floor) as to how we would get in.<br />
After some thought my mate said if only we had a ladder we could get in through the balcony and as a ladder was not just lying around we started to make our way back towards the party.<br />
On the way we went past a construction site and on the side of a transportable hut was a ladder so we borrowed the ladder and went back to the unit.<br />
My mate said he was not going in so up I went and just as I was going through the window a neighbour spotted me and said he would call the police if I couldnt get our guest to tell him that everything was ok. Things worked out alright in the end and the ladder was returned. Buy the way this was all at about 3-4 in the morning.</p>

<p>I came home from work and realised that no one was home and i was locked out and i was dying for a crap.  Nothing was happening, no one was coming home, so i found myself an empty 4L paint tin (as you do) and decided to use it as a toilet.  Before i could, i needed toilet paper, as any civilised human does, so i had to raid neighbours letter boxes for junk mail as our letter box was empty.</p>

<p>I proceeded to do the deed in my open back yard and i was freeking out at every rustling bush and other neighbourhood noise.  By the way, all this happened at around 5 in the arvo not in the middle of the night or anything.  </p>

<p>Deed done, tin hidden until an appropriate disposal time.  I sat and waited only to find out (when my brother came home) that the laundry door could be easily jimmied open.</p>

<p>Please send me a 'Borange' shirt in case next time the neighbours don't have any junk mail!</p>

<p>One day i pulled up to the local shop with my 3 year old in the back in his his new you-bute booster car seat, the racing car looking one. Well as its new and i still had not worked it all out he had managed to unbuckle him self and climb over to the front seat.</p>

<p>The car was off but i left the keys in it and  i am not in a habbit ever of leaving him in the car alone, even when the car is only 3 metres from where i was standing in the shop but running late for school as you do i decided to run in and out that was the plan.</p>

<p>To cut the long story short he looked at me through the car window and smiled, i thought you cheekcy little bugger you got out of your seat, but he wasnt smiling for the fact he was out but he had locked the doors and pulled the keys out of the ignition and was waving them in front of me through the window.</p>

<p>So now i was extremly late as it took me and the shop owner 40 mins to Persuade him to unlock the door either using the button on the keys or pull the lock up. </p>

<p>What a site i'm standing there screaming and pleeding to him to un-lock the door and running extremly late, the shop keeper using lollies from the shop to get him to open the door and all this for a bottle of milk. </p>

<p>Trust me this is a hard one to explain to your boss why your late and thats if he believes you.</p>

Untill out of the corner of my eye i spotted a disabled toilet. I ran into that toilet very fast and shut the door.( the door was a plastic fold back door) When i went to get out I found that the door was stuck. i tried to push it back numerous of times it would not move after 10 mins of trying I gave up and started crying. too bad if a disabled person really wanted to use the toilet. I then started yelling for help. After 30 mins a pizza deliver guy busted the door open and rescued me</p>

<p>This is not about being locked out, but about being locked IN.</p>

<p>A few years ago I was working in a high rise office in Perth and I was supervising a very attractive young lady who was a student on placement in our office.  One afternoon we were last to leave for the day as we had been doing a long debrief on the days activities (get your minds out of the gutter - we really were!).  As we went to leave we discovered that the glass doors between the office suite and the lifts (our gateway to freedom) were locked - from the OUTSIDE!  "OK",  I thought, "lets see if there's another way out..." Guess what?  Nothing.  There was only one way in and one way out, and we were trapped INSIDE.  </p>

<p>What resulted was a three hour wait for the security guy to get there after I phoned his house and spoke to his wife.  If all that wasnt bad enough - guess where the toilets were?  Thats right - with the lifts on the other side of the glass doors.  The office water cooler was starting to look like a viable option by the time we got out.</p>

<p>I went to a fancy dress part once as a death-row prisoner [orange jump suit, number on my back etc.] - it was an open bar &amp; i got home after taking full advantage 0 when i went to take my shackles off hand to leg] the key broke.  It took me an hour to try and saw and otherwise break or cut them off without waking anyone else up.

<p>Hi, I'm a locksmith and the worst job I had to do was unlock a unit in which a person had died and the neighbours were complaining about the smell, which  to say the least was horrible (after more than a week). Once i got the door unlocked and we opened it the full horror of the situation assailed us, the lady police officer fainted, the male police officer and myself ran out into the garden and proceeded to chuck up our breakfast. The resident had died in front of the tv and their small dog had been surviving on the corpse. I couldnt get the smell out of my clothes even after many washes.</p>

<p>I once got locked into a pub on Oxford St (The Empire) in Sydney.  We (a girlfriend and myself) went out after work one night.  It was cheap cocktail night and the boys were buying us heaps of drinks.  My mate was a bit sick, I spent 30 mins in the bathroom with her and when we cam out, we were locked in!  They forgot to check the loos before locking up!  We called the police but the doors were locked with massive padlocks and chains, we could open the door but not enough to get out!  Eventually the police cut the chains and posted an officer outside all night until they could get hold of the owners....hilarious!</p>

<p>A few years ago my mate Brooksy got on the piss and so his missus went home early.  Brooksy went home blind but passed out on the verandah, unable to get in as he didnt have a key or the ability to turn the handle.  In the morning he woke up and on the front door was a big sign saying "Brooksy the keys are under the mat", which had been put there by his missus the previous night at around 8.30pm.</p>

<p>NO,but a friend of mine was locked in.<br />
He was on the way home from the Steyne hotel in Manly having had a bevvie or 10 when he urgently needed to relieve himself of the beers he had consumed,looking around he noticed an office building unlocked so he entered and went looking for the loo.<br />
Little did he know the building was unlocked because the cleaners were in, but not for long, they left locking the front door.Locked in and rather weary he went to sleep on the carpet only to be woken the next morning by the local constables who had been informed of his presence by passers by.<br />
In COURT the sorry tale was told and he appeared on the second page of the Manly daily under the heading<br />

<p>I was locked out 6 years ago in port douglas qld. I went skinny dipping with 2 english flat mates. They stole my clothes and locked me out of the apartment. This all happened shortly after my hair was shaved off and a carton of VB. good thing it was at night. They finally let me in. my 2 other flat mates walked in to find me naked on the floor wrapped in a towel, pissed with a bald head and mt 2 english boys trying to steal my towel. hahahaha this is something i will never forget</p>

<p>I decided it would be fun to take the lightpro projector home for the weekend from work and do some outdoor cinema DIY style. So after plugging the laptop into the projector and putting on my 'Office Space' DVD, we got comfy with come bevvies, popcorn and the obligatory lounges and started watching the movie. Not to be in the amateur ranks, we also plugged in the old amplifier (I'm talking circa 1970's) and speakers to get the full sound experience. After five minutes of movie we found that the speakers weren't quite wired up properly and needed the screw driver to fix them. I went to go inside to get the screw driver only to find we were locked out with no phones and no car keys either. Luckily we had left a window open for the power to run out of the house so we put one of the girls through the window to come around and open the house. Since then whenever I go outside, even for 5 minutes I always take the keys with me since there's no way I'm tall enough to make it through that window. oh, and did I mention it was raining all that time?  :)</p>

<p>My husband, myself and our two children were running late for dinner one night and closed the front door with the keys inside. The only window open was our onsuite which is very small and can only be reached by ladder. My husband got the ladder and proceeded to climb up but could only get in head first. The window is above the toilet so he hung there with his arse in the wind and legs flailing for a few seconds looking just like Winnie The Pooh stuck in Rabbits doorway. We all had the shits but seeing him up there the kids and I ended up rolling around on the grass laughing! Very funny.</p>

<p>My rotton babysitter locked me out of the house when I was a kid. Our loo was outside on the back verandah. I wasn't being bad- I was being brave. </p>

<p>I didn't like to go to the loo at night without mum (boogie man was waiting). I needed to go this night but was too scared to ask the babysitter to escort me (she was scarier than the boogie man), so I didn't tell her and made the most frightning journey on my own. </p>

<p>She heard a noise and saw her own reflection in the window and thought there was a burglar. She quickly locked the door as I tried to get in.</p>

<p>I screamed and screamed but she wouldn't let me in - she thought the buglar had me.  I lost it when a dark figure came looming out of the pitch black - which turned out to be the police - THANK GOD</p>

<p>I got her back though my brother and I (on another night) chucked my sisters shitty nappy on her! HILLARIOUS!!! (til mum got home)</p>

<p>I got stoned in my car outside my parents house on a freezing Canberra night and managed to lock my keys in the car with the bong and mix sitting on the front seat. After not much thinking at all I decided that smashing a window was a better alternative then letting my parents find the large amount of herb and brilliantly engineered piece of equipment. Only to get get busted walking into the house and having to explain why I broke my car window.</p>

<p>June 1, my old man's 50th birthday. Flew down to Hobart for the gig. Everyone got horribly pissed and later in the night we were ejected from one upstairs waterfront 'club'. Moved on elsewhere, as you do. By home time, about 4am, I cabbed up to my brother's joint and bashed on the door and windows for well long enough but couldn't wake him or his girlfriend.<br />
June 1, 4.30am, Hobart, about minus 2 degrees! Only sensible thing to do was to climb up to his balcony and curl up inside the bbq cover/makeshift sleeping bag and attempt to get sleep. Never told him about the chocolate frog (bog) that I had to do over the edge of the balcony. It didn't quite make it over - landed in the guttering behind the bbq. May still be there??</p>

<p>I have two stories:<br />
First was I stayed at my boyfriend house while he went to uni, as I was leaving I noticed that his garage was opened - it's at the front of the house. So I decided to put the hand break on (while the car was running) and quickly close it. In my car you have to lock it from the inside or use the key. Through habit, I did just this and locked my car with my wallet and phone inside, with the radio on loud. I couldn't get into the house because that was locked too. Eventually I ran all the way to the shops and phoned my dad, who luckily had the spare key.</p>

<p>Second story:<br />
I put the clublock on the steering wheel and went to work. When I got back later that night, the key wouldn't go into the lock, so it was stuck on the wheel, I tried for ages. I gave up and went and phoned my fabulous dad again. While waiting I gave it one more try, the key worked and I got the club lock off. As I see my dad come into the carpark I get out and close the door, and just like before through habit I lock it again, leaving everything inside. I'll just say he wasn't very impressed.</p>

<p>p.s. You guys ROCK!</p>

<p>My two friends and I went to a Rockit concert in Perth a few years ago and the guy who was looking after the house keys was so drunk he didn't realise he'd flushed the keys down the toilet between the shihad and Grinspoon set. So come one oclock in the morning when we get back to their place I'm the one who has to break into the house via the roof (because I was the lightest of the three of us) Obviously not light enough because I crashed through the ceiling and landed in the hallway. Once I got them inside we discovered that the same guy that had flushed the keys down the toilet had left the backdoor unlocked... I was not amused. Actually truth be told I was the only one having a laugh about the whole situation.</p>
