Bathroom door nightmare!


So last night, I went to open the bathroom door, heard a loud 'ping' (as the mechanism inside broke) and the door handle ceased working immediately with the door closed. Nice.

I had to carefully take the frame apart to 'persuade' the door to open by flexing it which all took a while and then I got to thinking... what would I have done if I'd been in there at the time?

I wouldnt have been able to kick it down (despite my immense strength) because it closes up against the stop in the frame - and kicking through it would have been interesting! - If I'd opened the window and attracted attention, I could have got out by a ladder, but then I wouldn't have been able to get back into the house (because the selfish basserd with my spare key is in Oz)  -

So there you are - a bit of drama but it wasnt really in the end... I dont know why I bothered with this...

I have an irrational fear of being trapped in a small place like a bathroom. But if its a choice between bathroom and elevator, I'd choose the bathroom.

indeed. At least you could eat the soap. It's like cake you know.

Presumably, like MacGuyver, you'd be able to fashion a cutting tool from your toothbush, floss and a razor blade and slice your way out.

Or perhaps you'd be more A-Team-like and build a tank using only the toilet seat, a shower head and the bath mat! Then you could simply shoot your way out!

I could have shipped in supplies for you through your bathroom window.  How about a good roast dinner?  chew.gif

Hmm. I feel a cunning plan coming on here.

Er... Susan... I have a horrible feeling that me and Catfish are going to, ah, accidentally get locked in the bathroom on Bank Holiday Monday. A roast dinner would be lovely. With pudding.

My bedroom door once jammed shut, with me inside. I had to break out with a nailfile & was a little late for work that morning.

Don't forget to use your jazz hands. They really add to the drama.

My skills are more in understatement than in drama! I could, I suppose, throw in the moments of indecision as I pondered my alternative escape route, which would have involved leaping onto the stairs, through the then-missing bathroom wall. As it's quite a significant drop, & my stair are very steep, I came to the conclusion that being stuck in my bedroom was preferable to lying at the bottom of the stairs with broken bones.

Having Testie surgery performed by a man with a chainsaw... with parkinsons

Being forced to record, engineer and produce the next Amy Winehouse album (stupid b**ch)

Watching Casino Royale back to back ten times... (that one was especially for the JDK)
