It's official: I am a dork!

A dork maybe but a smart one! Yeah, I've done stuff like that too.

From the Queen of Dorkville population ME!!!

We all do these things...
I once locked myself and DS out of the house. So we went next door and called DH at work in Boston...HE left HIS keys on the bureau...so to the tune of $100 and 3 hours later we had spares made LOL

ROTFL! You are clearly my hitherto-unknown long-lost twin

Good ingenuity in getting out <applause>

If you want to feel like you have company, the following is what happened to me with my tractor. The door to the tractor pen is on the top - flat, like the top of a box - and hinges upwards so you can go in there and crouch down to work (the pen is only about 3' high). Copied from my tractor page:

If you ever make a pen like this with a top door for human access, <snip> when you attach the latches that accept the locks, put the loop part of the latch on the DOOR and the hinged hasp part on the SIDE OF THE PEN. If you do not, then when you are crouched in the pen and the top door blows shut, gravity re-latches the hasps and you are locked in and helpless. Is that the sound of chickens laughing? I'm not going to tell you how many times this happened to me before I smartened up and stowed an aluminum shim inside the pen for use in break-outs. (Slid into the crack of the closed door, it can push the latch hasp open).

You want to know how many times I did that? Six. I guess I am not the learniest person in the world

At least you've only chickenwired yourself in ONCE.

(Well so far <vbeg>)

WOW!!! I didn't know Dorkville was so heavily populated with so many other dorks!!!

I feel lots better now!

I am just one in a whole sisterhood of dorkies!

Oh yeah, I've had that happen too!

I got busy nailing up the wire--stood back and admired my work, gathered up my tools and thought, "Uh, oh!" I HAD SEALED MYSELF IN THE SIDE WITH THE LOCKED DOOR!!!


I so would have done that to myself!!!!

Your story made my evening. Thanks for the laugh!
