Ever got locked out of your house...but...

As a kid I was locked out by my parents plenty of times, usually overnight.

I don't see why it matters

We have a door and a gate. And there is a gap for a shoes box between the two to get out. The door opens like a normal door only needs keys to enter not to exit. And the gate needs keys if your exiting or entering. So one day home alone leaving in a hurry. I closed the the dorr behind me and got my keys out of pocket and in the process the keys slipped out of my hand through the gate and as I soon came to realise just out of my reach. this happen on the one day I forgot to get my phone. So I was trapped there for 7 hours till my family returned. And they didn't open it streight away they stood outside watching me and laughing for half an hour before finally deciding to open the gate and let me out.

No not yet. But now I'm getting this sick feeling that by reading this post I've just jinxed myself.

I have twice lost my pants and thus my keys so I was locked out.

yes i always get locked out because they lock the door for the hell of it and then i just unlock it

The only time I've been locked out of a house was because either someone lost their key or they left their key inside their home.

That would piss me off and yes this has happened. When I was about 14 I accidently broke the key since I put it in the wrong way. It got stuck in the door and I could not open it. It really sucked and took 3 days to get it fixed.

I remember as a kid we returned home from vacation to find an infestation of fleas. We barely left the car to be covered in them. We went to my grandparents house while my dad dealt with it.

And I currently have some rotten wood on my front porch. One false step by a large person will destroy it. Hopefully it gets repaired soon. Sadly it's not the first time I've lived somewhere that needed new stairs to the front door.

I used to have a problem with my parents selective hearing before I got my own house key.
I'd go hang out with friends until late, like 11:00PM or 1:00AM, so my parents would be in bed by then.
If the door was unlocked and I got in, no matter how quite or ninja I was(either trying not to wake them up out of politeness or because I was drunk/high), they'd ALWAYS wake up to check on things.

But, if I came home and the door was locked, I could bang on the door loudly, I could yell, I could knock up on the window(the house isn't even big, 700 square foot). And they'd NEVER wake up.
I'd wind up sitting in the shed on the side of the house waiting for one of them to wake up, and I had to break into my own house through the windows several time because of this.

This isn't exactly what you're asking for but I just felt like sharing.

I was taking the trash out in my PJs the other day and I guess I slammed the door too hard behind me and the switch on the nite latch fell down and it activated the lock.. I was left in the snow with a t-shirt, thing pajama pants, and slippers on. I was home alone, but luckily the front door wasn't locked.

Once when I got home from work, we had a power outage. I didn't have my house key. I couldn't open the garage door with my remote. So, I went to my kids babysitter who did have power and chatted with her for awhile. My power didn't come back on for 4 hours.

I was having a late start to my day for the number of horses I had to ride at the time, so I was running around to feed the dogs and get my gear together. When I went outside to feed my husky, the garage door closed behind me on its own. Once in a while it randomly decides to move. I hadn't unlocked any of the doors that morning, so I was quite effectively stranded outside wearing....not that much... Normally, this would not be so much of a problem. However, my mother had recently found a new home for the spare key that I had yet to be informed of. Of course, that's not usually a problem either... I knew which screen was loose on the basement windows and ideal for breaking in.... but I had locked them just a night ago... I tried everything I could think of on the ground level... Even the one garage door that isn't electrically connected, I had secured. It would have been simple if I could have just called my mother and asked where the key was (oh, and I looked, everywhere... except under the compost bin...)... but no, my cell phone was inside with everything else. So, I tramped up to the barn and grabbed the ladder out of the loft (cussing the whole time). I set it up to some second story windows, one of which I knew I could never get to lock... climbed on up, opened and crawled through a window. My cat inside was like, "Now who's the fuckin' weirdo???".

Uhh, i was like 11 and my brother locked me out and my hand went through the glass when I knocked on it. It was pretty cool how far the blood was squirting from my tiny wound. I severed a vein right between my knuckles on my hand.

Sis got mad at me, shoved me off my bike and ran inside. I fell against the shed, ended up on the ground with my bike on top of me and my feet tangled in it, so it took a few minutes to get back up. She locked the storm door and main door. The storm door I opened by banging the button - enough times will pop the little switch down. I popped out the plexi pane in the main door so I could undo the dead bolt, and got in.

Not really bizarre but when I was a 'latchkey kid' my dad accidentally locked the storm door before work one day so i tried using the back door but the lock is so full of crud from not being used that i actually broke off the key inside, i think it's still stuck in there too. then i remembered the plastic window on the storm door isn't sealed all the way around so i pushed my hand in one of the corners between the bolts and reached the lock then my sis used her key since mine was broken
