One time, my Grandmother needed to be taken to the hospital, but as she couldn't walk we had to get paramedics to help us get her there. No problem.

When we got back, however, we learned that someone had locked all the doors to the house-- I only have a key for the backdoor, but the backdoor has two doors in the same doorway, one I can unlock and one I cannot. Apparently some genius figured that since everyone was going to be out of the house it'd be best to just lock everything.

The embarrassing part was the hour that followed, explaining to the paramedics that we had been locked out of our own hour, and pacing around nervously trying to think of what to do. Eventually I got a ladder from the back of the house, and just climbed in through a second story window I had hoped was left open, effectively breaking into my own house, with two witnesses whom I had just robbed of an hour of their days.

I feel your pain.
