LOL – locked out loud: How Twitter copes when #lockedout of the house
Most people will experience the sheer panic of being locked out of their homes at some point. It can bring about waves of anxiety, matched only by the waves of bitter cold that the approaching winter brings.
“Getting locked out is all too easy; it’s the getting back in that’s more difficult,” says Banham in their guide on what to do if you’re locked out. From resisting the urge to break into your own home to specifying a reliable keyholder to keep one of your extra keys, they recommend a sensible approach to the situation and to do your best to avoid it in the future.
Sadly, many people who get locked out are neither prone to sensible thinking or being well-prepared. Instead, they simply take to social media to share their experiences. We’ve rounded up some of the funniest and best responses.

Tbh one time I had to go home early from work bc migraine. Busting for a wee, realised I’d locked myself out. Had to climb thru the cat’s door. Tried to put on a Eucy Bear & got shocked. Power to the house went out.
