Last night I got locked out of my bathroom!!!! Was watching a movie with the siblings, and my eyes were bugging me so I went to take out my contacts. Imagine my surprise to find the door was shut and locked! After a quick examination, I realized that my roommate had shut the bathroom door and not realized it was locked. We always shut the bathroom doors when the swamp cooler is on because the air flows through the apartment better that way. What to do? We have a second bathroom, but all of my stuff was in my bathroom. I couldn't sleep with my contacts in, and what would I do without my makeup and hair supplies in my bathroom? I couldn't exactly go to church looking like a bum...
So, we decided to try to pick the lock! First we tried the card sliding trick that you see in movies. No luck. We considered breaking the door down, but then we'd have to pay for repairs not to mention that we'd have a missing bathroom door for a couple days. We thought about calling the landlord, but that would be a terrible crime at 11 pm on a Saturday night. Then Chere (my roommate) got a bobby pin and started jiggling it around in the lock. After several minutes of near despair, the lock suddenly opened!
What I learned: bobby pins really truly open bathroom door locks!!! Yay!!! Chere and I should try it on bank locks now.... ;)
