Funny story

[crankyoldman]

So I locked myself out of my house today and thus had to break in. Thankfully one window was not locked, and after cutting through the screen (I tried to pop it out first, apparently Anderson windows only pop IN) and getting a lawn chair I managed to shimmy myself in. This was not a large window, but thankfully I am compact. There was about five minutes where my legs were kind of hanging out the window as I tried to leverage myself through and I almost pulled a muscle in my hip that I didn't know existed before. XD So apparently people in my family just don't know how to quit. It all felt very like a Turk mission gone wrong and I'm tempted to write something very silly related to this.

Also, I need a beer. I'm getting too old for this. And I'm going to surgically implant the housekey on my person, by god.

OMG I did that the day I drove to Chi-town to see Meg and Jessy for the first time. I couldn't get my storm window open after I cut through the screen so the guy next door came over to help me shimmy it up, and I slithered in over the toilet, cutting up my hand everywhere. LOL IT WAS REALLY FUNNY!! xD

HA YOUR ICON ALMOST MADE ME SPIT OUT BEER.

I'm lucky that the storm window was open. And that I'm vaguely flexible.

I am also a fire person. And this icon brings me joy and glee.

I <3 Veld. He is so delightfully stuffy- or he TRIES to be, anyway. ;}

Best. Mental. Image. Ever.


Well when our whole IDs and everything are in our fingers you could just unlock the door with your thumbprint.

A nice little adventure to get the blood flowing. I used to have nightmares about those types of situations back in college.

Sidenote about pervious post, your costume is looking awesome.

Funny story! Once when I was babysitting -- three children, two girls of ages 6-7 and 4-5 I believe plus a baby boy of the age (~1) where you had to carry the little dude everywhere -- one of the girls shut the door and we got locked out of the house. Now, there were plenty of times I broke into my own house, so I wasn't really too worried - I figured I'd just jimmy out a screen, toss one of the tiny little girls in there, and have her open the door. So I'm standing at the front window, trying to pop a screen with one hand, because the other hand is holding a 1-year-old baby on my hip, one of the girls is hopping up and down because she has to pee --

and a cop drives by and stops in front of the house to give me the eyeball.

BECAUSE, YES, OFFICER, I'M TRYING TO BREAK INTO THIS HOUSE WITH TWO CHILDREN AND A BABY IN BROAD FUCKING DAYLIGHT. I'M GOING TO ROB A HOUSE AT 3:00 IN THE AFTERNOON. WITH A BABY.

Needless to say, after a couple seconds the situation must have looked a little less suspicious to him, because he drove away. And I managed to pop the screen, open the window, and hoist Kelsey in there to let the rest of us in.

Needless to say, I was pretty damn careful after that!

Dude, I was all worried the nosy neighbors would call the cops on me. Because jimmying the screen out didn't work, I had to basically rip the screening out. Which sucked, as I'm not all cut up and the cut on my thumb hurts when I hit the spacebar. I may have to train myself to use the other thumb. But it took a while basically, especially the part when I was half in and half out of the window. XD
