Today, I was in a store using the only bathroom there. After I was done, I realized I couldn't open the door. Panicked it locked me in, I banged on the door, and screamed for help. The security and a whole group of people gathered, only to find that I was pulling the door instead of pushing it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was using the bathroom in a department store. When I was finished, I couldn't get the stall door open. I'm claustrophobic and I freaked out and started shouting for help. A 6 year-old boy got the door open for me. It turns out I was pushing when I should have been pulling. FML
Today, I was in the bathroom at work. The lock on the stall door broke, and I couldn't open it. I was all alone and I started having a mini panic attack. After several minutes of frantically trying to fix the lock and hyperventilating, I realized I could just crawl under the door. FML
Today, I went to the bathroom in a mall. As I was in the stall, a woman tried to open it. I yelled out that's it was occupied but she kept shaking it to open it. It came up to the point where she had to crawl under the door to see that I was there. FML
Today, I freaked out when I couldn't get my bathroom door open. After ten minutes of panic when thinking about how I'd be stuck there for at least 8 hours until my roommate would get home, and another five mentally going over survival skills, I realized that I had forgotten to unlock the door. FML
Today, I was in a public restroom at a concert when I realized I was locked in. The door was jammed, and there was no way out. I knocked, I tried to force it, I even climbed through the air vent to escape, only to end up covered in dust and toilet paper. Meanwhile, people outside could hear me yelling “HELP!” for a solid 20 minutes. FML
Today, I went to take a piss in a public bathroom. Somehow, I managed to completely jam the lock. After minutes of trying to get myself out, I gave up and crawled under the stall, at which point someone walked in and was very surprised to see me on the floor. FML
Today, as I was using the public restroom in the mall, someone decided to slam the stall door next to mine. This resulted in my stall door opening while I was still on the toilet. The door was too far for me to reach. FML
Today, I got locked in a restroom because the doorknob jammed. I had to text my coworker to come and rescue me. He brought half the office with him because, “It was too funny not to see.” 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 was so desperate to pee that I used the only bathroom in the convenience store I was in, which was “Employees Only.” Well, the door got stuck and I had to get an employee to let me out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The door didn't give outwards at all when you were banging on it?

#1 has it right. If you were banging on it, it would have opened. Either way, you're a moron.

OMG, once I was on a train and I went to the bathroom. When I was leaving I could not get the doors to separate. I was knocking and panicking. Then I saw this knob on the wall and I pulled it out. I had to pull the knob out to open the doors..but luckily no one formed around the door. Everyone remained seated and didn't even care I was knocking.

rofl #53 and # 37 Op you made my day, seriously. Well, my day was already made, but you made this moment. Think of it like this: better get stuck in the bathroom than in the toilet.

Are you retarded? Anyone who would do this, can't you think for a least bit and rationalize, instead of going ahead and act like a freaking monkey?

Okay guys, YALL take deep breaths. Freaking out on the internet, lame. Just cause this "sounds" fake doesn't mean it is, or that shes stupid. Many things can happen, the girl/guy could be clastrophobic; NOT SPAZTIC. And tired of stupid b.s? Why the fuuuuuuuuck are you on this site? Its filled with stupid b.s about people's crazy days, and lives and the idiotic things they do that make US laugh. And you know it could have been a door kind, if s/he was already freaking out it would have added to it. Dont call people names you dont know. It gives you a harsher karma.

Btw: it deleted a word or two on my little rant. Where it says "a door kind" its supposed to be;; "a twisty[?] doorknob kind." =]
