Today I fucked up, although technically this happened last night.
It was around 11 PM and I decided to take out the trash before going to bed. I was already in pajamas and didn’t bother putting on proper clothes because the dumpsters are just outside my building. I grabbed the trash bag, stepped out, and pulled the door shut behind me without thinking.
The moment I heard the click I realized my keys were still inside.
My phone too.
I just stood there for a few seconds in flip flops and pajamas hoping somehow the door hadn’t fully locked, but of course it had.
At first I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal. I rang a few doorbells in the building, but apparently everyone either sleeps early or ignores late-night ringing. I even knocked on the building manager's door but got nothing.
So there I was, standing outside in pajamas and slippers at almost midnight trying to figure out what to do. It was colder than I expected and I started seriously regretting not bringing my phone.
After about 40 minutes a neighbor finally came back from walking his dog and let me into the building. The problem was my apartment door was still locked.
I ended up sitting on the stairs for another hour before another neighbor helped me contact the landlord.
The landlord arrived around 1:30 AM looking half asleep and not very impressed.
He unlocked the door in about five seconds.
I went inside and immediately saw my keys sitting exactly where I left them on the kitchen counter.
TL;DR: Took out the trash in pajamas without keys or phone and ended up locked out for almost 3 hours.
