Promise?


















It all started when I wanted to go home and I went to lock the tackroom door. It seemed to have warped in the cold weather and wouldn't fit properly in the frame to lock. I tried for about ten minutes, got a couple of other people to have a go and was having no luck. I then had the bright idea of going inside the tackroom to see if i could see what was happening from the inside. With a few kicks on the door frame I managed to lock the door only to find I was now stuck in and couldn't unlock it!

I gave it a good while of waggling and kicking before realising I was well and truly stuck inside. I rang FB, she came and helped but couldn't get the door unlocked either. By this time quite a crowd was forming outside the tackroom with everyone wanting to see what the commotion was. I could hear them all saying "Whats happened?"
"It's that new girl she's locked in the tackroom."
"Locked in? How on earth did she do that?"
and so on...
After about twenty minutes locked inside I was starting to get a bit panicky. I made FB promise to sit outside and keep me company all night if they couldn't get me out

Eventually after about half an hour the door locked pinged open and I was able to leap out of the tackroom to the entertainment of the crowd outside

I did something very similar except it was my bathroom and I was in on my own. I eventually ended up climbing out the window and let myself back in the front door and I was wearing my jammies.

Aww *snigger* I'm not laughing-honest!

It's the sort of thing I'd do lol I locked myself in the back of my hubbys van the other day, was v/proud of myself as I was so calm, not panicking...20 minutes later I realised there's a handle on the inside...
 
I only wish the tackroom had a window, I'd have been straight out of it. As I got more desperate I did suggest they could make a hole in the roof to help me escape but thankfully it didn't come to that!
 
Been there done that!!!!! Most notably in the toilets in Kings Cross station. Luckily I am small so managed to crawl underneath the door!!!!!!! I did once get locked in a toilet which had a key, I managed to drop the key down the toliet. I was stuck for hours until someone found the master key!!! I think getting locked in places (normally toilets) is a talent of mine!!!!
 
Hahaha - Sorry .. this was so funny. Actully LOL haha! Ive done this before, apart from it was a boy who im really good friends with (he loved playing tricks on people) he asked me if id go into the tack room to get something (cant remember what it was) so theres me that actully went to go and get it .. and he shuts the door behind me and locks it .. I was stuck in there for so long .. I was SOO angry .. But then I can understand the funny side of it now lol. It was really dark in there and all I could see through a tiny gap was a pony trying to stick his nose through the gap haha .. silly times xx
 
oOOH for all those that didn't laugh at this you can read mine as well....

The other day I went up to the yard in my car, freezing cold, very icy.... had used hot water in a jug (naughty) to defrost windows, doors etc to get there, but when I arrived (parked about quarter mile away from actual yard because of long icy driveway), my door had sealed itself shut again due to the water I had poured on it

Sat there with the heaters on a bit longer until I eventually managed to open it, got out and tried to open boot to let dogs out- boot stuck. Great. Tried for ages, got back in car, heaters on again etc.... got out, tried again to open boot, no luck. proceeded to get back in car, dismantle dog guard, pull back seats down and let them out the back door. Thought, better put guard back together for journey home, opened boot and put it back together..... straight away. The boot had never been frozen shut, I had locked the car each time I got out from habit and was half asleep cos it was 6 in the morning

Not really related but it has reminded me of when I was working at a local eventing yard. The fields were a bog and whilst crossing them I got stuck. There was no one around as my boss was out, so I ended up having to crawl out. By the time I got back to the yard I resembled the creature from the black lagoon! Luckily I happened to have a spare set of clothes in my car, so got changed and left my wet muddy clothes to dry in the tack room. I then went off back out to the fields top poo pick for the afternoon. After a couple of hours I got a phonecall from my boss saying "are you naked?" I quickly explained the situation, but to this day I have not been allowed to live it down, and at most events she takes great pride in retelling this story to anyone in the area!

It happens to the best of us!
At work I locked myself in the refridgerator by accident and kept screaming "ANYONE OUT THERE?!" then realised it had a handle and I could get out. Luckily I didn't freeze though as I only had a t-shirt on!
 
Sorry that is very funny lol.

When my little lad was about 3 (he's now 15 !) I was up the garden shed at the bottom of my garden sorting his toys out, he shut the door and locked me in before I could get to the door, there was only a tiny window not big enough to get out and all I could see was him playing in his sandpit - I was so panicky (a) cause I couldn't get out of this little dingy shed and (b) cause my 3 year old was in the garden alone, I had to gently pursuade him with bribery to let me out (little s*d)
 
Chuckling at all these

See...a chapter for that book already!

My dad did a similar thing once. He was building a shed in the garden and as usual was being a perfectionist about it. My mum had gone off shopping and I was about to leave for work. I thought I should go out and say bye but couldn't find him so just left thinking he'd popped to B&Q for the hundedth time. Mum gets back from town 3hs later and proceeds to try to find dad. Turns out that he had decided to test the locking mechanism on the door from the inside???? and had locked himself in. His mobile was in the kitchen and he was too embarrased to shout for help so he'd just sat there for 3hrs til mum found him! This same man has also sealed a bottle of turpentine and a hammer behind a bathroom wall while installing a new bath, accused us all of stealing them before realising what he'd done and having to pull off all the plaster he'd just put up! I'm surprised I made it to adulthood really!!!
 
Just over year ago I woke up one autumn Thursday morning and realised that I hadn't put the bins out. I shot downstairs and grabbed the bin from the kitchen and rushed out the front door with it. It was quite a windy day and I'm sure you've guessed what happened next... Yup there was a big bang behind me and I turned round to see the front door slammed shut. I was stood there in my pyjamas at 7.30 am on a cold windy autumn morning. The only living creature in the house was my very neurotic dog, who doesn't like being left alone and who hadn't yet been out for her morning wee. I had no phone, no money and no way of getting back in. The good news was that my OH had been on a night shift and would be home in 20 minutes...The bad news? ...We live on a main road which is nose to tail with traffic from 7am until 10am. In that 20 minutes about 300 cars (seriously no exaggeration) must have gone past and seen the mad woman standing in a garden in pyjamas talking to a dog through the window... including about 15 people I know.

Not laughing at all...

I once locked myself in the toilets at Somerford xD (there's 2 catches on the doors... I managed to flick the one on the outside!) it was years ago, first time I ever went there, managed to get out eventually though

you know when we had that earthquake.... well all I heard was bang crash thus as my vases etc fell over and thought I was being burgled. I hurdled over the end of the bed, and out the window to realise I was stood, freezing in a vest and shorts with all the neighbours gawping. And no key, so I had to climb elegantly back in through the window
