Last weekend, on my way to bed, I went to the bathroom (as you do). When I turned the door handle to get out, it turned but the door didn't open. Oh Dear! I wrestled with the handle, turned it this way and that. Still no joy. Fortunately, I don't live alone. I called my husband and he came to the rescue. He slid a knife under the door to see if I could undo the screws holding the door knob in place. They were cross headed so I couldn't undo them. The door knob is one with an integral lock in the middle which can be undone, if locked from the outside. We chose it so that we could release grandchildren should they be unable to undo it themselves. However, I hadn't locked it so DBH went away and returned with a wrecking bar and club hammer. Half an hour later, the entire lock had been jemmied out and I was free. YAY! However, I got to thinking about what would have happened if I lived alone. Or if my husband had been out for the day. I didn't have my phone with me, our bathroom doesn't have a window and even if it did, it's on the first floor. I think I will now keep a screwdriver in the bathroom cabinet - any other suggestions? We all laughed about it at the time, but it could have been very serious. DGD was so concerned she filmed it on her phone!
Baby Reindeer - anyone watched it?
