Today, I earned the nickname of "Harry Potter" for all the wrong reasons. I got locked in a storage cupboard for most of my shift, and couldn't get out. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got locked inside the entrance area of a Walmart. I had to get an employee to get me out. FML
Today, I got locked inside my apartment due to the locking mechanism being stuck, so I had to call off work. They refused to believe me, and insisted that I be in on time or else there would be disciplinary actions taken. Maintenance wasn't available till 3 hours into my shift. FML
Today, I went to the gym and got locked in the locker room. I had to call the gym's phone number to get them to come let me out, after being in there for half an hour. FML
Today, I was on a job trial at the local pet shop and, naturally, was doing all the disgusting jobs. As I was cleaning the kittens' litter in the cat enclosure, someone thought it would be funny to lock me in there. I sat in a giant cage in the middle of the store with people laughing at me. FML
Today, I got shut in the walk-in freezer at work. I started banging on the door. My boss wouldn't come and open it because she didn't "play games". She thought I was kidding. FML
Today, thanks to some asshole with a padlock, I got trapped in porta potty for over an hour. FML
Today, I locked myself out of my own shop. And I'm a locksmith. FML
Today, I got locked inside my office again by my co-workers because they had forgotten I was still around when they left. This happens 1 or 2 times a week. 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 knocked over a display case at a mall, shattering hundreds of dollars in goods. Embarrassed, I tried to scurry out of the nearest door without being seen. I scuttled right into the janitor's closet, the door automatically locking behind me. I waited for an hour to be let out. FML

Unfortunately, Google translate is still in its development stage for parseltongue. . and even then who knows how accurate that'll be. //sighs

I would take being called Harry Potter as a compliment.

In my personal opinion, that's for the best reason I've ever heard. But that's just me speaking as a big Harry Potter fan and naming myself after a Harry Potter character when having gotten my naturalized citizenship just so I would have a reason to be called after a Harry Potter character.

Did you wave your wand a little while you were in there?

Graham Montague would be a better nickname for this situation

Well it would, Montague got shoved into a broken vanishing cabinet by the twins. Was stuck for a day, until he apparated out.

I'd sacrifice being in a cupboard a little while if I could forever be called Harry Potter
sirrubberduckie 37
Still counts.
