Today, I stepped outdoors for a minute. The wind blew the door shut, locking me outside. I've spent the last two hours pounding frantically on the windows, trying to wake my 4 year old son who is inside. I can see him sleeping soundly on the couch. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my one-year-old son locked me out of the house. I had no spare key and both him and my 4-month-old decided that was the perfect time to scream bloody murder. FML
Today, I was locked out of my house. After hours of trying to break the door, I found out I accidentally left a window open. The door, however, still needs to be replaced. FML
Today, as I stepped out the door and heard it lock behind me, I realized I had forgotten both my keys and my baby inside. There's no other way in. FML
Today, at 7 a.m., I ended up outside in a nightdress, barefoot and in the rain. I've just found out that my two-year-old son now knows how to close the patio door, which of course, has no outside door handle. FML
Today, I snuck out of the house for a night on the town. When I got back, I found all the doors and windows bolted shut. My sister's laughing face at my bedroom window suggests I'll be spending the rest of the night outside. FML
Today, I was taking a nap when my dad texted me, asking me to go check the mail. So I went outside, then the wind blew the front door shut, and it automatically locked. I didn’t have my key. FML
Today, I was in my backyard. When I wanted to come back in the house, I tried to open the sliding door. I knew that my brother locked me out so I banged on the door very hard, causing the glass to break. It turns out that the door wasn't locked. FML
Today, I was home alone and it started to rain. It hadn't rained in days so I went out on my balcony and ran around. I felt great until I realized that my door had been swung shut because of the wind, and it had no handle. I had to wait outside in the rain for two hours. FML
Today, I've managed to lock myself in my own bedroom. It won't open no matter what I do. FML
Today, I was walking home from school and my stupid brother who comes earlier then me locked the storm door. I ended up trying every other door for 3 hours in below freezing temperature. I was numb everywhere. I rang the bell and my brother opened it. He was home the whole time. FML

Go for a walk and smell the roses.You don't need to be inside. Just don't get run over by a goat.

He's pretending. Shout through that you've got some money and toys for him. That'll get him to open the door.

she was pouning on the door and I'm pretty sure that's louder than a phone ring and I'm guessing she threw some yelling in there too so the doorbell, also useless.

Hmm.. people don't know these kind of doors exist? That kind of lock is called a night latch or rim lock. They have a little handle on the inside but are key operated from the outside unlike a cylinder lock which, generally, requires a key to lock it from either side. I have a cylinder lock front door which still automatically locks when shut which I had never seen before.

Ydi op... You should have known your door locks when it gets closed and adjusted it so it didn't before you went prancing around outside...

You couldn't go to a neighbors house to borrow a phone in a two hour period? If your kid was sleeping through pounding on the windows, he's not going to wake up. No way he was faking for that amount of time. YDI for not using common sense.

At least you can see that your son is safe.. which is surely your primary reason for trying frantically to get in... right?
