Today, I was doing laundry, and decided to wash my cat's blanket. He chased me down the stairs into the basement, and I slightly closed the door behind me so he wouldn't follow me. He pushed the door shut, which automatically locks. I was trapped down there for 3 hours until my mom came home. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went into the basement to do laundry. There is a little rope on the outside of the door to lock it. I was down there for 20 minutes, and came back up the stairs to find it locked. Turns out, my 3 year-old sister did it, then our parents took her to the park. I was stuck down there for 4 hours. FML
Today, my cat managed to lock my dad and me outside of our house. FML
Today, I went about pet-proofing my house because my new kitten is exploring every nook and cranny. I locked up everything dangerous. Then, while trying to put a safety lock on the pantry/cold room, I managed to lock myself inside. I had to yell for my roommate to let me out. FML
Today, I woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and I noticed the balcony door was open. As I went to go close it, I swear I saw my cat wondering outside and I panicked. Long story short, I locked myself out searching for the cat and the next thing I knew, he was meowing at me from the balcony a few feet above me. FML
Today, my cat somehow managed to lock me out of my apartment by jumping on the doorknob while I was taking the trash out. I had to call a locksmith, and now it's like my cat won't even come near at me, like I betrayed him for allowing a stranger into our home. FML
Today, I was hurriedly doing laundry. I threw a second load in the dryer and slammed the door shut. All of a sudden, I heard scratching and whining coming from the dryer. My cat probably hates me now. FML
Today, a friend temporarily staying at my house with his cats scared one of them into my basement, where the cat then climbed up within the walls to somewhere on the second floor. He then left as he was on a deadline to get to TN by a specific time. He told me I could keep his cat, who is stuck somewhere in a wall. FML
Today, I closed my bedroom door before I went to work this morning so my cat wouldn't chew on the cords in there. When I got back, I couldn't find my other cat anywhere. I went to my bedroom and heard her yelling. She was in there, stuck there all morning and afternoon. Oops. FML
Today, I opened my closet to get my uniform to get ready for work, and found the cat my step-mom was looking for the night before. Apparently, it snuck in there and was too stupid to miaow to be let out, but had no problem pissing all over all my stuff. FML
Today, my cat followed me into the bathroom. While I was showering, he knocked over the storage shelf behind the toilet. The shelf was the perfect length to wedge the shower door completely closed. No one was home so I had to climb over my tall shower door all slippery and naked. FML

Cats hold grudges forever, you crossed the boundary, man. Hopefully your kitty saw that as your punishment, otherwise you might want to sleep with one eye open.

Opposite of my cat. She always pushes doors open. It's fun when she does that to me and I'm taking a shit.

Maybe this is off topic, but it's kind of creepy that your basement door automatically locks from the outside.

It sounds like a fire hazard to me. Imagine being trapped down there if there was a fire! Scary. I'd try and get that door fixed as soon as possible op!

very creepy. whoever put that door/lock on was probably a serial killer....or a rapist...or was collecting girls with beautiful skin so he could make a nice skin suit.

Um... That door sound like a big safety hazard. What if there's a fire or something and you get trapped inside?! Besides that FYL OP. I once got stuck in a toy heat for an hour, so in a wary I feel your pain. Be like batman when he fell in that hole (whose name I can remember) and train. When you get out you will fight a massive battle with your cat and DESTROY him!!!!!

Toy heat?

The first part of your comment was so good, but you completely lost me on the second part. What's a toy heat? And how does this relate to batman? I completely agree about the fire hazard though. :)

I actually tried Googling what a toy heat was and I got a lot of heated sex toys links. So... He totally lost me on the Batman mojo, but I think he was basically going for a metaphor that got out in the jibberish

Cats: always plotting a way to take over the world.

I have 6 and I bet they'd do that to me in a heartbeat if I stole their blanket.

it seems people who love cats side with evil, and in every evil story the Betrayal happens. we who love cats just deal with it lol and you touched his Precious.
