Today, I spent half-an-hour trapped inside my dog's crate. The door locked behind me as I squeezed myself inside to stroke her. After bellowing at my family in the garden for what felt like an eternity, they came through just to laugh and take pictures. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got trapped in my building's elevator for over an hour, with my dog who I had been rushing outside with because he had explosive diarrhea. FML
Today, as I was going to check the mail, a huge dog ran into my house. The closest room with a door was the bathroom so I slammed myself inside and screamed for help. We live far from any neighbors and my phone was outside, so there was no hope of rescue. It paced outside the door for four hours. FML
Today, I got locked out of my car while the engine was idling. The "good news"? My dog inside the car thought this was the funniest thing ever and barked happily every time I tried to open it. FML
Today, at 2:30 a.m. I got locked out of my room. I knocked upstairs to get my landlady to give me the spare key. Instead, I woke up the dogs next door who wanted to kill me, so I hid for 5 hours in the enclosed trampoline with some outdoor blankets. They were covered in animal piss. It rained. FML
Today, my mother locked me out of the house. Why? The dog and her needed some time to talk. FML
Today, I managed to lock myself out of my house again. My only option was crawling through the dog door. I managed it once before, but I must've put on weight because this time I got stuck halfway. My neighbour came over to “see if everything was OK.” He then helped push me through. FML
Today, I found myself locked out of my house. I had to squeeze myself through a tiny window around the back. While hanging upside down, my hood fell over my head. My dog ran through to investigate the noise and ravaged me thinking I was a burglar. I then fell and broke my wrist. FML
Today, my friends decided it would be funny to engage the child locks on the rear doors of my SUV. My SUV has a bolted cage for the dog separating the front from the back. Guess who was locked in their own car for 2 hours? FML
Today, my long-distance boyfriend came to visit. We went to a cafe where I managed to lock myself in the toilet, breaking the key. I then had to wait for them to break down the door. I came out to applause from everyone, who had been laughing at me for 25 minutes. FML
Today, I went to the gym and got locked in the locker room. I had to call the gym's phone number to get them to come let me out, after being in there for half an hour. FML

Why did you put your whole body into the crate to pet the dog?

You would have done the same to them if it had been the other way around.

I wouldn't. I'd be disappointed that they locked themselves in, but feel bad that they were locked in.

Yeah if the dog is that far back in the crate, he/she probably doesn't want to be petted. Just take it out next time

Well, if you love your pet enough to squeeze into their cage, who cares if your family laughs at you? The pictures will show what a dedicated owner you are. All you need is love. :)

Eh, I've done it. Mine had an ear infection last summer and was not a fan of his ear drops, so locking myself in the crate with him made it a little easier. Of course I could get myself out so I'm really curious about the latches on OP's crate.

So now you need to find their secret box where they keep that new embarrassing snapshot of you for the Christmas party.

Sounds like you had a "ruff" day!

Pun was obvious enough without quotation marks! And so original!

Too bad you don't know that quotation marks are correctly used with technical terms, terms used in an unusual way, or other expressions that vary from standard usage. Oh, and you're an "ass", and I don't mean donkey.

I was going to say that the crate doesn't seem very safe, because a kid could get trapped in there, but apparently it needs to be adult-proofed too.

Wouldn't you have done the same thing if the situation were flipped? I hope they let you out after they took the pictures though!
