This is the second time it happened to me in the past year and it always happens my friend, Said, comes over. He use to stay at my place over the summer (I was at my parents home for the summer). I guess he must have made the habit of locking the door from the inside and then leaving. I, on the other hand, lock the door from the outside (that way I know I have my keys with me). Today he came over and as he left, he locked the door from the inside. After he left, I stepped out for a little while and when I came back the door was locked. He did the same thing the last time he came over. That time I simply walked to the managers building and got a key. But this time she was out for lunch. So I was stuck standing in the freezing cold hallway until the dude that lives next door suggested I try to get in through the window. He got me a chair and because I live on the ground floor I was able to enter easily. So what did I learn from this whole experience. Not to let my friend visit me again? No. To always make sure I have my keys or make sure the door is not locked? No. What I learned was that I must always have my window locked because if I, being overweight, can climb though my window anyone can. I also better not start anything with the dude that helped me out because he knows he can enter my place through the window.
