Today, I was in the bathroom at work. The lock on the stall door broke, and I couldn't open it. I was all alone and I started having a mini panic attack. After several minutes of frantically trying to fix the lock and hyperventilating, I realized I could just crawl under the door. FML

Anyone down voting this has never had an anxiety attack, obviously. Rational thought flys out the window for a good while once one sets in. That said, I'd've waited until someone came in and could get me out because like hell I would crawl on pissy public bathroom floors.

I'm pretty sure a bathroom door isn't the hardest stuff to get through. I'm not sure if I want to crawl under the bathroom especially in a men's bathroom

Reminds me of the story about the unfortunate shopper who got locked inside a supermarket and starved to death.

Clearly you have not had any experience with an anxiety attack, or panic attacks. Sometimes it's not that easy to just "man up" and kick a door open for someone genuinely terrified about their situation.

I've tried being inside a bathroom whose lock won't open - although it wasn't broken. The way i screamed grabbed people from outside the bathroom. Good times. But seriously though, I think OP didn't deserve it, I mean, you start getting thoughts of "I'll never get out of here!!!" and panic. It does feel terrible. FYL op

Personally, I'd rather have a panic attack than crawling under the door.
