Oh have I got a tale to tell!  You might want to hide the kids.

As I’ve made it mind-numbingly clear, I moved into my summer dorm on Monday.  So, on my first morning (Tuesday), I went in to my “semi-private” bathroom to take a shower.  When I tried to get out, however, I realized that I had locked the bathroom door from the outside before entering the bathroom.  Crap.

So, I couldn’t get from the bathroom to my room.  I tried using force to open the door but gave up quickly - my body was already aching from all the moving.  So, I took a risk and opened the door to the room next to mine, which shares the bathroom.  There was nobody there.  Turns out, the guys who were supposed to move into that room, haven’t moved in yet.  So, with *only* my towel on, I walked out of their room and out into the hallway.  From there, I walked down to the lobby to get help.  Apparently, people lock themselves out of their rooms all the time and the guy at the front desk was quick to help me out.  He sent one of the cleaning people up with me to open my room for me.

It was a little embarrasing to walk around with nothing but my towel on - but it had to be done.  I got lucky that there was no one in the adjacent room, else they would’ve been surprised to find a half-naked dude walking through their room for no apparent reason.  I’m now going to double-check the bathroom door each time I walk in for a shower.  I’m developing a habit of locking myself out within the first 24 hours of moving into a new room - it happend in August when I walked out of my room with my keys sitting on my desk.  Fortunately, I was wearing clothes then.
