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 got locked in a restroom because the doorknob jammed. I had to text my coworker to come and rescue me. He brought half the office with him because, “It was too funny not to see.” FML
Today, I was locked out of my house and had to pee. I waited an hour for my boyfriend to come home. When I saw him pull into the driveway, I peed myself in excitement. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I wanted to kayak. On the way, I told him I had to go back to our hotel because I needed the bathroom and didn't want a public one to smell. Once back in the elevator at the hotel, it got stuck. For an hour. I pooped myself and had to wait 40 minutes after that for help. FML
Today, I was back home from work drinking coffee when I heard someone open the door with a key. It was my boyfriend, who obviously didn't expect to see me home. We don't live together, and I never gave him a key. FML
Today, at a dinner party, I got locked in the host’s toilet because the doorknob broke. I had to text the host to rescue me. She opened the door… with 5 other guests standing behind her. My social battery was wiped out by the whole ordeal, so I immediately wanted to go home and hide, but instead I got drunk and passed out on her couch. FML
Today, I was sitting on the toilet with a really bad and noisy stomach upset. Then I hear a knock on the bathroom door. My boyfriend had decided to make a surprise visit. 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, I finally told my boyfriend that I see a therapist every week because, amongst other things, I'm terrified of being locked in a room. He didn't believe me, so he locked me in the bathroom "for a laugh." I had a panic attack and passed out. 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 locked myself out of my dorm room. I walked across campus, shoe-less and in nothing but my bathrobe, to find someone who could let me back in. Turns out I hadn't even shut the door properly and so it never actually locked. I can still hear the guy laughing at me. FML

She deserves it for having a boyfriend in an Arab country. Unless she was Christian or Jewish I guess.

wow, get a life. you can't classify a race or religion as wrong. there are bad and good people in every culture. you, for example, are part of the idiots in ours.

I don't really think you got what #8(humorizer) was saying. Syria is an Arab country, where most of the people are Muslim, and Islam is not very accepting of having a boyfriend/girlfriend. But it was stupid of him to bring that up. Lol don't worry OP, my mum did that TWICE IN THE SAME DAY!!! Absolutely hilarious, it was in our hotel bathroom, and when she tried to open the door, the lock broke. The hotel staff had to come and break the door down. She came out, doing really well considering she'd been in there for about an hour. She went back into the same bathroom a few hours later, and got herself locked in again *facepalm*

No problem. I wasn't dissing muslims, lol. They're quite cool; at least the pious ones.

Some places do that for security. My orthodontist's place requires you to get a key from the office to use the bathroom.

What does your long distance boyfriend have to do with anything?

That's what I was thinking. He's about as irrelevant to the story as what food you ordered or what part of Dimashq you were in.

I took it as: Her boyfriend that she doesn't see very much came to visit, only for her to spend 25 minutes on their date away from him as she was trapped in a bathroom

Maybe he was only there for a couple of days and being in there for 25 minutes wasted their precious time? I don't know, just a scenario...

This one is from Syria so US building codes don't apply there. She may very well have needed a key to leave the bathroom.

There have been times when I've been given a key to use a public bathroom, and I live in Chicago. But yea, that sucks :x
