Today, after a few beers, I was exiting the bathroom of a loud house party when the door jammed. I had to climb out through the shower window. It was fool proof until my foot got stuck. I hung outside the house upside down in the dark yelling for an hour before someone figured out where I was. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was locked out of my house so I texted my cousin to come over and help me get in. She came over, stood on a chair and lifted me through the smallest unlocked window possible. Sadly, this was my bathroom window and I ended up head-first into my toilet. 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, I snuck out of the house to go to a party. When I got back later, I tried climbing back up the rope-ladder I'd set up earlier, leading back through my bedroom window. I was halfway up when it broke free. I sprained both my ankles and had to shamefully ring the doorbell to get back in. FML
Today, I fell in the shower and the doors jammed shut. I was stuck in there for hours, waiting for my parents to come home. They had to open the door for me while I was still naked inside. FML
Today, I lost my house keys while staggering home drunk, so I decided to climb through an opened window and promptly went to bed. Twenty minutes later the police wake me up while attempting to search my place. The neighbors thought I was a burglar and called the cops. FML
Today, the door to my daughter's room became jammed and wouldn't open while she was in the room. Being resourceful, I grabbed my ladder and climbed up to her window, only to end up stuck in her window. I'm not sure what was worse, getting stuck, or being laughed at by my neighbors for a while. FML
Today, I got wasted at a party and went out to my car to get something. I went back to the house and realized I got locked out. After knocking on the door, ringing the doorbell, and shouting "LET ME INNNN" my friend called and asked where I was. That's when I realized I was at the wrong house. FML
Today, I was at a party and went to the bathroom. The door was tricky to lock, but in my inebriated state I thought I'd managed it. Apparently, I hadn’t. Midway through my business, the door swung open, and in walked a group of people looking for their coats. We just stared at each other in shock until someone finally closed the door. FML
Today, after I was locked out of my apartment, I went down the leaf-filled ravine behind the building to get to the fire escape ladder, climbed up four stories and over the balcony, then wiggled through the window on my stomach onto the living room floor. Now I'm back inside and paranoid about robbers doing the same. FML
Today, I got locked out of my house. After trying unsuccessfully to jimmy the lock, I managed to climb in through the kitchen window. I soon found out I had an effect on the door after all; it won't open at all any more, even with the right key. FML

Upside down? For 1 hour? Wouldn't a person lose consciousness rather quickly?

Any plan that was thought of and attempted "after a few beers" is never fool proof because, at that point, you are a fool.

For "an hour", read 'nearly five whole minutes'.

"[N]early five whole minutes" is right. Sounds like an exaggeration.

you guys realize to pass out you need to have a lack of oxygen to the brain right ? there for you won't pass out from being upside-down. you will however pass out if you were to stand upright for a prolonged period of time WITHOUT moving anypart of your feet or legs.

Caleb you are wrong. stop pretending to have medical knowledge

after some quick reading I am wrong. but it depends on the person on how long it will take to pass out from being upside-down. my mistake.

it's also possible that with his struggling he messed up the blood flow somehow? Or he's just lying and he was really hanging for a couple minutes.

A few beers obviously means "half a keg". Just remember, when you're stupid enough to call something "fool-proof", someone will find a bigger fool. In this case, you found you. Edit: Damn you, Kayak.

Doc, that isn't a picture of your patient, it's from "Superhero Movie"...
Sinkhole 26
I haven't seen that film (and don't plan to), but a simple Google search shows you that the X-rays in that film are completely different from the ones the Doc has on his profile.

That sucks, but I have to ask- if you were able to move your entire body through the window, how can your foot get stuck?

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking! Like what the hell man?! >_<

Less pressure on the ground due to a wider dispersion of weight.

You probably ought to stop drinking. I'm not sure you can risk damaging many more brain cells.
