Today, we got new doors fitted. There were new locks on the bathroom, to the reluctance of my mother, who thought one of us would lock ourselves in. "Only an idiot would lock themselves in," I said, and shut the door to demonstrate. I locked myself in. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was fed up with things being taken from my room so I installed a key-locking handle on my door. I installed everything but the door knobs, and because I was worried that I would put the two of them on backwards, I closed the door to check. I'm now locked in my room. FML
Today, I've managed to lock myself in my own bedroom. It won't open no matter what I do. FML
Today, I locked the door to our only bathroom so my two year old wouldn't get in and make a mess. I crapped my pants while trying to unlock it with the key that rests on the frame. 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 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
Today, my doorknob broke. While trying to impress my dad and show that I can fix things for girls, I somehow managed to lock myself in my room, with the doorknob on the other side of the door. When my dad finally heard my screams, he let me out. He had to take the whole door off. FML
Today, my dad walked in on me using the bathroom. After rushing out, he yelled at me through the door for not locking it. He made up the "no locking the doors inside the house" rule. 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 was getting out of the shower and realized I’d forgotten to lock the bathroom lock. I heard someone coming towards the door and panicked. I hid behind the curtain and tried to stay completely still, but my dad walked in, saw me standing there like a statue, and just said, “Oh, erm, I’ll come back later.” FML
Today, I went to the bathroom. I locked the stall door, but got walked in on anyway. This is the eighth time this has happened this week, and multiple people think I’m just too stupid to lock the door. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this FML, but don't most locks allow you to open it from the inside regardless if they're locked or not?

Well, I guess you are that idiot.

Moms are usually right, but at the wrong time. I hope you weren't locked in for too long.

on the iPhone app, after commenting, does the keyboard not go away for any of you? it's really annoying.

It just started doing it to me yesterday, but it never used to.

Try restarting your iPhone. Hold down both the Home key and the On/Off button for ten seconds or so (even after the "Slide to Power Off" sign comes on) until the Apple logo appears. This solves lots of weird crap.

They haven't updated this App after the new iOs came out. its a developer issue, not an OS issue.

Shit happens, especially with demonstrations. I once tried to convince an eldery couple the ditch they saw was actually a road. I walked in it. I was seven though :)

How does one manage to lock one's self in the bathroom? As in, the lock gets stuck and you can't open it, or you're just too stupid to figure out how to unlock it?!
