The landlord put the doorknob on wrong because he was too lazy/stingy to buy a new one after the key was lost by a previous tenant.  The button that locked it was on the outside.  I had gotten into the habit of locking doors after me as I lived alone in the apartment.  I locked it after me after I went inside but had forgotten that the key was on the table outside.

The main door didn't have doorknobs; just the keyhole.  I don't quite know how I messed that one up but I left the keys stuck in the hole outside and I got locked in.

Both these happened after my daily 14-16 hour workdays.

Has anyone ever had to use the credit card trick on a bathroom door?  Done it about three times already.  The kids like to lock both bathroom doors.

i ve done it on the bathroom door more times than i can count.  :P

In Egypt, the doors lock behind you if you shut them from the outside. Totally sucks if you're getting the mail/throwing the trash and forget to have your keys on you.

After he got to know me, that's a strong possibility.

You see, you're credit card ain't 100% useless in these tough economic times afterall!

This reminds me of an acquaintance I knew about 10 years ago who attempted to break into a former residence of his (apparently he didn't like his former landlord for some reason). The credit card technique wasn't all that great, he said, as they tended to snap and it was better to use something similar but more disposable.
This acquaintance literally stole the kitchen sink and the toilet.
