Reply With QuoteSome months after I moved into my house, a friend gave me a ride someplace. When I got home, I discovered I was locked out - even though I had my house keys!
The front door was chained, and the dead bolt was probably stuck too.
The back door opens into my garage. The garage's people door had an indoor style lock that didn't take keys - and it was locked.
The garage's car door required a remote opener - which was safely in my car in the garage. Uh-oh.

Just yesterday I locked myself out of the house. I went on a bike ride and thought my house keys were in my jersey pocket, everything else was!
So when I get home and start fishing around for the keys and realize I don't have them I've got the dog inside barking and all excited when he hears it's me, wondering why the heck I don't open the door! D'oh!
I had my cell phone and figured I would just call a locksmith when I thought to check to see if hubby put back the hide-a-key, bingo! Boy was I happy, so was the pup!
First thing I saw when I came in was my keys laying on the counter.....where I put them!
They went imediately into my jersey pocket for tomorrows ride!Life is like a 10 speed bike, we all have gears we never use.

Was taking out the trash and just like bikerchic's dog, he gets excited when he see's me and he started to jump against the door and manged to lock the deadbolt. I was so mad! but impressed at the same time haha I kept saying "come on dog, you did it once, now just do it the other way" but no, i had to find a unlocked window (which is rare in my house) and claim back in.

I'm sure some of us have dealt with a young child that accidentally locked themselves in a small room.
which happened when 3 yr. old daughter of a cousin accidentally locked herself in my bathroom.
Those are heart-stopping moments.My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.
