my dad is stuck in his bedroom, 'cause the doorknob is broken and won't turn. for a while he started banging on the door and my mom said "Is Jack trapped in the closet?"

so she got up and got a screw driver and is trying to take the door knob off. and she's like "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO" and my dad keeps banging on the door.

this is too hilarious.

i hope the tortellini isn't burned.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha

i can soooo pick all of that

[Phyllis]

yeah. my mom and dad were banging on the door for about five minutes and finally i was like CLIMB OUT THE WINDOW and my mom is like SHUTUP and my dad is like GOOD IDEA.

so the banging stops for a while, but i guess he gave up on trying to climb out the window 'cause he starts banging again. and at this point the doorknob is off the door and it's like a li'l window inside the room.

but now he's out of his bedroom, and kind of pissed off.

but i would be too, if i was TRAPPED IN DA CLOSET.

[ree-ree]

Was the tortellini burned?

I got stuck in the bathroom just like that -- because the doorknob was broken when I was in a house I rented in college.

I tried to jiggle it, but the "meat" of the knob just fell off and into the hallway on the other side of the door. I was the only one home and it was 2 a.m. so I thought I would be sleeping in the tub.

Thankfully, the octogenarians who lived there before me had a phone installed in the bathroom, so I called my boyfriend at the time. He brought over a ladder and I climbed out through the tiny window (about a 10' drop, so I was afraid to do it on my own.)

It's one of my only really interesting stories, so your dad is lucky. That, and the beercan incident on the Guadalupe River.

thankfully, no.

Our bathroom door know has a tricky lock on it and folks are always getting stuck in there. We have to take the door knob off everytime it happens.

One day I may replace it. But until this, we'll keep enjoying a laugh at others expense.

That, and the beercan incident on the Guadalupe River.

What was that incident? Did you chuck a beer can at somebody? Vaguely remember...

I had a beer can incident on the Guadalupe... me and my brother's ex-fiance went tubing and we found a can of unopened beer floating along and it was nice and cold. So we drank it. Heh. Felt really rebellious and cool considering I was underage.

That was also the day I wore my converse low tops into the river because they looked too new... and that was really embarassing... at least to me... tried to dirty them up... they should just sell them dirty, but new...

once, i was at my greatgrandmas house and her bathroom doorknob would just get stuck like once out of every five times i'd say and i did not know this and i got stuck in there and i could hear her and my grandma laughing at me and right when they came to undo it, it came undone on its own. it sucks when it happens to you but funny when it happens to other people

yeah I know, when I saw those in a catalog I got I was like oh my god, how retarded who would freaking buy shoes like that? dirty 'em up yrself!

however, I said a similiar thing when they first came out with the pre-damaged pants yet I'm wearing some of those as I type this but I honestly don't think I'd ever buy those shoes especially if i had to pay $50 for them

That's hilarious. I actually had to turn all the door knobs backward so the locking part is on the outside because the boys kept locking themselves in the rooms without knowing how to unlock...

Ooh! That'll work for time-outs as well.

Of course that can backfire too...if the boys ever get keen to the door knob config, they could put Daddy in a very long time out...
