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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up in the middle of the night and had to go to the bathroom in my dorm. After coming out of the bathroom, I realized I'd let my auto-locking door close behind me. I had to go through the whole dorm, sprint across campus in my bra and underwear, and ask someone for my spare key. FML
Today, I locked myself out while taking the trash downstairs. I was wearing pajamas, slippers, and a winter coat over nothing else. My neighbor offered to help, then spent ten minutes trying not to laugh while I explained that my keys were sitting on the kitchen counter. FML
Today, I lost my keys. My roommate locked me out, then yelled at me when I made her come home to let me in. I tore my room apart searching for them, and even went out to search my locker room. When I got home, I glanced at my wall only to find my keys hanging on the hook I set up specifically for them. FML
Today, I was showering at my dorm. I had my clothes locked in a locker and my towel and robe hanging outside the stall. Someone took off with my towel and robe, which had my keys. I had to walk down three flights of stairs to get an extra key in nothing but a plastic shower curtain. FML
Today, due to an incident with the dishwasher, a coat rack and my bathrobe, I ended up locked out of my house, naked as a jaybird. I had to hide in the backyard for several hours until my family got home from their various activities to get back in. They still haven't stopped laughing at me. FML
Today, I finally got the guts to walk out of class 30 minutes early, only to find that the back door was locked. As I stood there like an idiot trying to get it open, all 200 people in my class turned to laugh. My professor stared at me. I then walked back to my seat, sat down, and unpacked. FML
Today, I broke my key unlocking my dorm room. When I pushed the door open in frustration, the door opened with no problem. Turns out it was unlocked. FML
Today, I locked myself, drunk and naked, out of my hotel room. FML
Today, while taking a shower in the dorm bathroom, my roommate thought it would be funny to steal my towel, robe, and key. I spent over an hour waiting for someone to come into the bathroom so I could ask them to bring me something to cover up. FML
Today, I was locked inside my dorm room. Yeah, inside. How? Some of my floormates decided to stick pennies in the door frame, which jammed the handle. I was stuck inside my room and had to pee really bad. I couldn't call an RA to get me out either. Why? I'm the RA. FML

I have done this OP. Don't worry :) You wouldn't believe how many times I've locked myself out of my apartment going to get the mail, because it's a habit that I lock the door behind me and leave my keys inside. The management always knows why I'm there when I walk into the office. At least you don't look as dumb as I do! :)

How do you lock the door and leave your keys inside?
darlingdollie 24
Because I have two locks, a deadbolt and a knob. I can lock the knob on the inside by simply turning the lock and closing the door. That's what I usually do and don't bother with the deadbolt.

You're a special kind of stupid.

Well, that was uncalled-for! Mistakes like that happen sometimes, no need to be rude to OP for it.

Yes, and potentially degrade herself further (if like many of us, he was questioning why a girl would be outside her dorm wearing only a robe). But, you do have a point though. If they are both single and up for it... the ice is already broken ;).

Yes, because being not only stupid, but a ***** also, will make things so much better.

How is that being a *****?

Why didnt you contact an RA. Even if you didnt have your phone, i bet one of your neighbors had theirs.

I've been locked out of my dorm room before too. My worst nightmare is being locked out wearing nothing but my underwear.
