I'd have to use a key to lock anything inside my house......

I used to lock my keys in the house all the time. I would have to call my fiance to come home and let me in to get my keys. He finally got tired of it and we got an extra key made and put it outside. It's funny, though, because since we got the extra key, I rarely lock myself out anymore.

Same here except I had to call my landlord.

Once at my old place, where a door shut behind me and my housemate while we were out on the porch. Fortunately our other housemate was home, and once we managed to wake him up from his nap, he came down and let us in.
Fortunately, this can't happen where I live now; the locks are deadbolts which have to be locked with a key.

I don't believe I have. When I was a kid I locked myself out, but it was because I loaned my keys to my friend. I had to kick in a window...

When I first started my job as Building Superintendent years ago, I locked myself out of my office twice, and had to call my boss to let me in. I fixed that problem by making the lock only work if I locked it from the outside with the key.

At least twice. Once I called the landlord and she came with a spare, the other time (we lived in a different place), I called my son who was at a friend's house and his friend drove him over so he could let me in. The landlord lived in Junction City which is a neighboring town in the second situation, so I didn't want him to have to drive all the way into Springfield to let me in. My son was closer (about a mile away).

No, but I've locked my keys in the car for the first time about 3 months ago..that sucked..

Yes, I am totally clueless The best was when I was eight and liked to watch TV in the mornings before I left for school, and my parents had already left for work. We watch TV in the solar, which has these odd ancient glass doors that lock from the inside. So anyway, I had taken my backpack out, which had "Gone with the Wind", an entire bag of chocolate-covered pretzels and gummi bears. The door slipped behind me, shutting me out. I spent the entire day, until six o'clock when my parents came home, watching dumb TV and reading the book when it got to dark. What an experience! I think it was the most alone I had ever been, and I got to miss school

Yes, a few times. When I was in college, I used to walk home for lunch or to change clothes or whatever. I would lput my house key on the kitchen table (right inside the back door). A few times, I went back out the front door, and forgot to put my keys back in my purse. I would either wait for my dad to pick me up on his way home from work, or call home to see if my sister was home yet. I never had to actually break into the house.

Since I have usually lived in apartment buildings I either buzz a neighbor from downstairs and ask them to let me in, or I buzz the manager to do the same.

Twice. Although, I have a trick to get inside that only I know. If you think I'm telling you've got another thing coming.

lots of times
our old apartment was a basement apartment so the windows were basically on the ground. One of the windows could be taken off from the outside and I always carry a screwdriver around in my car. I'd just take the window off and crawl in. It was fun.

Haven't most of us done this? I've done things like call the landlord, climb in unlocked windows and things like that to get in.

yes, a few times, and i had to go through the window because of it. Taking the screen out and putting it back is a dog.

I did this a couple of mounths ago and luckly my yongest brother's school wasn't too far away so I just walked over there and borwed his key.

yes, when we lived on the third floor of a big old Connecticut house. We borrowed our neighbour's ladder and climbed in the window.

Oh, and when the fire alarm went off in my old apartment in Sydney. I had to walk over to work (about 2 minutes walk in the red light district at 2am in my pajamas!) to see the security guards at my work. I kept a spare house key in my desk drawer.

No, but my toddler son once locked me out when I was smoking a cigarette, and I had to break a window to get back in.

I used to do it all the time. I'd always rush out for work with all this stuff in my hands and the one thing I would forget is my keys. Thank god my bedroom windows lock was broken otherwise i'd have been screwed.

Never - but there have been a few scary moments where I have gone to leave the house and realised that I havn't got my keys. I keep telling myself I need to get some keys cut and take the copy around to my uncles house but havn't gotten around to doing it yet. Its like a sign and also I have seen or heard of events (on the radio or whatever) and taken this as a clear message to me to get my keys cut but have so far not gotten around to it. Even this survey is a sign. Ahhh, I need to do that soon.

Once my mum did when we were little and we broke the back window to get in.

But in the house we are living in now, it is impossible to lock anyhig in with out using the keys.

My mum did when I was about 9. I climbed in through the kitchen window. It was about 6 inches high and 3 feet wide.

I have locked myself and my keys in the house. I had a deadbolt that had a key lock on both sides requiring a key to lock and unlock it from either side. I locked the door and then misplaced my keys inside the house. So I was locked in lol it was very funny. I had to clean the house from top to bottom to find the keys.

Once. My dad had to break open the window of the back room.

Yes, I just waited for my hubby to wake up. He sleeps through everything and couldn't get him up to let me in. I rang the door bell, yelled from the back yard, knocked on both doors, went to the pay phone and called. Finally walked to the mall and got a lawn chair, some clothes, (changed at the mall) suntan lotion, munchies and hung out in the back yard til he got up.

A neighbour had a spare key.

I can't remember.

Yeah, a few times.

I never have because it is kind of difficult to lock the door with my keys and also leave my keys inside my house.

Not the house but the first year I owned a car I locked the keys in it three times.
