Mista Mista...Get Me Outta Here!

So on April 8th, I came home for lunch and enjoyed an hour away from the office with my hubby. He's the best! Joel not only makes dinner most nights, but he always gets lunch together too. I know...I'm spoiled and the luckiest woman in the world! I do need to relieve him of that burden though b/c we all know he has way more on his plate than I do. It's something I continually try to work on.

Anyway, the POINT of this post is to back track and tell you about an unforgettable lunch on that very day, April 8th. So after lunch, I needed to head back to work quickly b/c my break was almost over. So I gave Joel a kiss goodbye and ran to the door. But WAIT... the door would NOT OPEN!!! The handle was turning, but NOTHING!

Joel did not believe me, thinking I was having a blonde moment and locked the door and forgot about it. So after a minute of me trying to figure out what the heck was going on and complaining to Joel, "What the heck... the door is stuck... It won't open!" Joel continued not to believe me and thought he'd let a MAN do it (b/c surely that would work)! Well, you guessed.... IT DIDN'T WORK!

We ended up calling the manager and she sent TWO maintenance men to help get us out. It NOT only took the two maintenance men, but Joel and I too, to get us out of our apartment. So... 35 MINUTES later, 2 maintenance men, a guy and a girl & a new doorknob and lock... we were literally HOME FREE!!!

AH... I'm TRAPPED! (obviously me being dorky)

Joel showing the doorknob that caused the LOCK-IN!
(he wasn't happy b/c I always make him pose for me & he doesn't like it)

"Did someone just take a picture?" -Maintenance Man
(The maintenance men are on the other side of the door & Joel's manning the Albertson's card)

Apparently the lock membrane broke inside the door b/c the knob would turn, but it wouldn't open. It was definitely an afternoon to remember and one I had to take a few pictures of. haha! CLASSIC!

That is soo funny! That's the Village's way of trying to keep people here this summer:) Hope you are recovering well from your surgery!

Ah, that's so funny, because the same thing happened to me when we lived at the Village!! Those locks must be defective. It's ridiculous I swear. But at least yours happened during office hours right? Fun times fun times
