~Crazy Bathroom Experience~

YES and in a vacation rental, I was lucky I was not alone in the house, I was beating on the door like crazy, it was a bathroom in the bedroom at that. Could your daughter not climb out the window?

I was stuck in a broken elevator for over 45 minutes once when the power went out, because it was an old, historic elevator and the firefighters couldn't get the door pried open to get me out. Right when they decided they were going to chop the door down, the power came back on and the doors opened up. Everybody thought I was probably panicking inside the elevator, but I just sat there and closed my eyes and took a nap while I was waiting for them to get me out.

That's terrible, but kind of funny. Little did your daughter know she'd be the catalyst to getting that thing fixed! The only thing I've ever been stuck in was an MRI machine, for 45 minutes. They said that had never happened before.

I have. In a public bathroom when at a music festival. My husband finally came to see what was up and got me out. Those public toilets are awful. Smelly and humid.

How did the Boss manage to open the door?

None of those worked? Oh my god. I would've freaked lol. Our downstairs bathroom has a lock, so when i was younger and got mad I'd go in and lock it. My mom would open it from the outside by the butter knives and screw driver trick. Always worked. Thank god. Lol

Well thankfully it was your daughter who got stuck inside and not you! Imagine that one. I would have freaked out if I had been locked inside. I have been stuck without a ride a time or two when my car broke down.

Oh wow...Not stuck that badly, but one time our bedroom door was shut and locked from the inside, and we had to pick the lock. I did get locked in a bathroom stall once at a campground. I crawled out from beneath.

So did you remember how the boss opened it? Thats very important knowledge. Maybe the mechanisms inside needs oiling with WD-40

It was terrible to be stuck in a toilet. I had experienced this last month.

I hope that did not scare scare here to much.

That was nice of his boss to come get her out

I have been, but it has been so long that I can't recall the circumstances. That would be a long time for a child.

That must have been scary for her. I was in a public bathroom once and for the life of me it took a long time for me to open the door. For me it was very scary and embarrassing. I thought I would stuck in there forever.

Its good to fix things before something happens yeah.

That would have freaked me out. I don't do well being locked in places. I got locked in the darkroom once at work. The Lock was on the outside of the door for some reason and nobody ever bothered to change it. Well I went in one day and failed to notice the handle was pushed in so when I closed the door it locked. I banged and yelled and nobody could hear me. I was nervous there almost a half hour before somebody finally came along. It was awful.

I would really hate being stuck somewhere and can't get out.

That is so scary. I am glad you got her out.

I think that bathroom's are one of the worst places for getting stuck in, I reckon that it is because they are used so much. The handle on the door of mine came off and so everyone kept getting stuck in there because although I was putting it back on the screws were not fixing, so every time someone tried to open the door the handle would come off leaving them stuck! I remember one time, my daughter in law and I were in the kitchen and the door there was broken, as in the handle did not work on the kitchen side, so if the door shut that was it. We were in the kitchen having a chat and the wind blew the door shut, I said 'its ok I will just go round and open the front door then I can let you out, only I did not have the key! I was horrified and cabin fever soon set in, in the end I had to kick the kitchen door open! I was a right little ninja lol but no way was I staying in there any longer!

Wow! The child must have been scared.. Twenty minutes don't sound a lot now, but it have seemed like a lifetime when it happened. I hope she's not left with any emotional trauma. It's stupid with work rules, but your husband's boss showed a lot of humanity there. I hope the kid is feeling good now. Please make her see the fun side of it, that way she won't be afraid of such experiences ( God forbid she has one of them). Take care!
