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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

Of course they wanted pictures of the silly predicament their "Special child" had gotten into.

I never understood why people with dogs keep crates/cages for them inside the house. Why trap your friend, if not a four-legged family member, in a tiny space inside their home?

Crates are like a "den" to most dogs. Just a spot to eat or sleep/chill out in (or be out of the way while the humans are cleaning the house). They're not locked in there all the time. It's just like a little bedroom for them.

Yeah, some people definitely crate their dogs unnecessarily, but I've known some who just have a crate with the door left permanently open, which their dogs really enjoy.

Now you know how the dog feels when you close the door.

I love how you had to use the word stroke

I'm preeeeetty sure that if a dog wanted scratches, he'd get up and move to you.

I probably would have taken pictures and laughed too.

Ok, I own a dog, I own a dog crate and I own a dog carrier (some people use carriers as crates but I have both for different reasons). I have no idea how you could lock yourself in accidentally.

did they published it on facebook or another place where we can look at them?
