Stuck help I shouted lol
At work I take the bins down in a lift, when I exit the lift doors close and I'm in a gated bin area you need a code to get out of or a key for the lift which I have.Last night numpty here forgot to pick her key up so down in the lift empty bins pat pocket for key and realise I'm alone no one else up stairs to notice I'm missing, it's 6.30pm no security on site until 8pm if I'm lucky.
Stood there few seconds then started trying to remember code for gate not realising it was changed a year ago.
Heard a car stop in the road so called out could they help me ?
Lovely young man walked all the way round to the front of the building and rang door bells to try and find anyone in the building. No answer.
He did offer to shimmy over and give me a boost over the gate but I had to refuse I know my limitations.
So I turned small bin over and sat down to wait.
9pm the security guard arrived. He wasn't exactly quick to rescue me but did realise I was there by half past.
Lesson learned, my husband has put the key on a chain that I can wear round my neck so as I come in I can be sure I've got it with me.
Laughing about this morning but was a little worried at one point I might still be there this morning. And ever noticed how you always need a pee when you can't get to a loo, I nearly flattened the guard in my rush to get to the toilets !
Ever got yourself stuck or locked in somewhere ?

I locked myself in the bathroom, well it wasn't my fault, my second daughter who was about 4 had swapped the key for another one and it jammed in the lock.I shouted for help, luckily someone heard me and I climbed through the window with help to get down the outside.
I'd collapsed with hysterical laughter before hand and had to calm down.
Lucky there was a loo in there!

Friend jean worked nights at a call centre , working alone one night she popped out the back door for a ciggy break , the door slammed shut , she realised with horror she couldn't get back in , meanwhile the call centre phone was ringing , luckily she had her mobile in her pocket so she rang hubby who travelled 8 miles to help , she gave him the front door code so he could let himself in then was able to let her back in through the back doors . Luckily no one from work ever knew and she never did it again22-02-2018, 12:14 PM

And dont you have mobile phone in your pocket for emergencies???
I spent most of the time reading my kindle app came into its own.
Yes had my phone but who to ring ? If I'd rung home they couldn't get into the building or helped in any meaningful way would just have worried them. No one in the building, no security no idea who else to ring.

Only very briefly I realised it didn't help

Re: Stuck help I shouted lol
Yes, but I was only 15 at the time. It was a filthy wet and cold Winter's Sunday and my friend and I were fed up. We decided to go and have a mooch around the Museum, they shut early on Sundays but we didn't know that and at 4pm a bell rang, being the muffins we were, we didn't know that was to tell everyone to leave as the door was about to be locked. A wee while later we realised it was very quiet....too quiet and it was creepy so we decided to leave and found the door was locked. Shouted and looked around for office but found nobody, We decided to go down to the Basement floor to the toilets to see if we could shin out a window, luckly for us we were both skinny wee things so we got through with a bit of squirming about and dropped about 5/6ft to the pavement. I was scared stiff and creeped out, and I've never been back into a Museum since that day..
