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

Today, I freaked out when I couldn't get my bathroom door open. After ten minutes of panic when thinking about how I'd be stuck there for at least 8 hours until my roommate would get home, and another five mentally going over survival skills, I realized that I had forgotten to unlock the door. FML
Today, I was in a store using the only bathroom there. After I was done, I realized I couldn't open the door. Panicked it locked me in, I banged on the door, and screamed for help. The security and a whole group of people gathered, only to find that I was pulling the door instead of pushing it. FML
Today, I went to take a piss in a public bathroom. Somehow, I managed to completely jam the lock. After minutes of trying to get myself out, I gave up and crawled under the stall, at which point someone walked in and was very surprised to see me on the floor. FML
Today, a little girl locked all the stalls in the girls' bathroom where I work and crawled under the doors. I then had to crawl around on the bathroom floor in order to unlock the doors. FML
Today, I was working at my job at a McDonald's. I was on my break, so I went to use the restroom. When I finished, I tried to open the door, but the lock broke. I was stuck in the basement bathroom for 20 minutes. FML
Today, I went to the bathroom in a mall. As I was in the stall, a woman tried to open it. I yelled out that's it was occupied but she kept shaking it to open it. It came up to the point where she had to crawl under the door to see that I was there. FML
Today, I found myself locked in a bathroom for the second time in my life. This time at least I was at home. I live alone. I had to break the window on the shower door and crawl out. Now, I need to crawl in/out to shower, brush my teeth and more. FML
Today, I was using the bathroom in a department store. When I was finished, I couldn't get the stall door open. I'm claustrophobic and I freaked out and started shouting for help. A 6 year-old boy got the door open for me. It turns out I was pushing when I should have been pulling. FML
Today, I had to use the bathroom really badly in a drug store. After I did a #2, just as I realized the handle on the toilet was broken, a knock came at the door. I tried fixing it for ten minutes, before slipping out the door, to come face to face with two employees coming to fix the toilet. FML
Today, I was in a rush and didn't notice that the bathroom stall I chose at work had a broken lock. Halfway through my business, a coworker barged in. We locked eyes for an awkward eternity. 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

That's gross.

I don't understand why this has so many down votes. I have anxiety and having a panic/anxiety attack can be stressful and can leave you feeling emotionally unstable to the point where you can't really think straight

Exactly, it's gross to crawl under **** that. Chuck Norris your way out of there.

You gotta do what you gotta do. Crawl under, get back up and wash your hands. Problem solved.

As some one who used to clean bathrooms at work, trust me when I say women's bathrooms are more disgusting.

im pretty sure you can kick or climb over in my school we kick stalls doors down to piss off our friends without to much problem especially faulty ones plus an excuse to have a longer break

I've had plenty of pains attacks, and rational thought does fly out the window, but I honestly don't see a reason to panic about being locked in a bathroom stall. It reminds me of the people who panic after an escalator stops. Just walk up the stairs. Just crawl under the door.

23, if rational thoughts go out the door, then crawling under the stall door wouldn't be thought of
Lalala579121 27
But 23, how can they walk up the stairs if they're trapped in an elevator...? Edit: Err wait you said escalator. But I've never heard of people panicking after an escalator stops.

You know what you're right. Shame on me. I down voted because I thought that's a stupid way to get stuck but I also suffer panic attacks. It's not fun and yes all thought goes out the window. Especially if you're claustrophobic.

it's not rational that the panic attack started to begin with, those doors are as easy to kick through as cardboard..
