Today, I got to watch how easy it is to break into my flat, after I locked myself out and went to my neighbour for help. He used a blunt pencil. FML
mamaflower tells us more.

Just so you know, I live in a council estate so I always figured my neighbour would be able to break in if he wanted. It was just a shocked to see how easy it was. And I can't change the locks with out going through a big pile of paper work and waiting for permission. So much hassle. Any way thanks for the funny comments =)

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You might want to invest in some better locks...

Still better than District 9 housing. Don't have to deal with as many aliens where you are, OP.

Watch out for the boogey man! Haha. That's pretty terrifying to know that though.

Wow. Well better you found out before an actual break in.

Better to discover it this way, than from a real burglar.

How does your Neighbour know a pencil would do the trick...

If you have any experience in picking locks you can size them up pretty fast, and know what tools you need. It isn't hard. It just takes practice.

Who needs a new lock? A chair against the handle will work!

Sorry for my ignorance, OP, but what is a council estate? I live in the US and I'm clueless.

It's what we would call Section 8, the projects, or government housing.

It's where they put all the people on pensions, unemployment or low incomes. So any one who can't afford market rent. That means usually it's a mix of drug addicts, gang members, old people and singles parents.

Since you can't change the locks, maybe you could get a big scary-looking dog

you could add a chain lock on the inside or another type of additional lock for your protection while indoors. I'd worry about when you leave the house.

op, are you a drug addict, gangster, single parent, or old person?
mamaflower 23
single parent

Can't believe you're now risking burglary and possibly death because of 'a bunch of paperwork' you're lazy and YDI
mamaflower 23
Actually it's because with that paper work there is also quite a fee. Which I can't afford. If I could afford such things I wouldn't be in a council estate. Also I don't have anything worth stealing.
doitlikeabrotha 10
I don't really believe that, you mentioned nothing about money before but now it's the major issue stopping you from doing it.

I'm sorry but way to be a real asshole.

You don't know her life shut up and quit being a bitch.

I don't think OP came here to hear your opinion. If it bothers you that much, buy it for her. It's her life, let her do her own shit.

Wow. And I thought I was a bitch. Hope you don't mind if I screen cap this comment to prove myself true when I say there are bigger bitches out there than me.

Ease off her #53! If you live in a council house in the UK you generally might not have much spare cash, and if she's renting you have to get various permissions from the council in order to change things, i.e change the lock. Getting anything fixed can be a lengthy process...
doitlikeabrotha 10
I actually didn't come here for your opinion either but we all find ourselves giving it don't we. All I said was that it would be worth the time and effort to get the locks changed
doitlikeabrotha 10
What I'm saying is start the lengthy process now so she can get the locks changed ASAP, before someone very easily breaks into her house and murders her

74, you could have said all of that without being such a bitch in your first comment. Jeez.
