Jeff and I went out to run an errand today, and when we got back, we couldn't unlock the apartment door. We both had our keys; the lock just wouldn't turn. Jeff was in a hurry to grab stuff out of the apartment and get going somewhere else, so he very rapidly became frustrated and angry. It was awful.
Luckily we were able to get ahold of the apartment manager very quickly by phone, and he drove out to help us. The lock opened for his master key, so no need to wait for a locksmith.
However, I am now terrified to leave the apartment because I might be locked out. We've been here a month, and this has happened twice so far. The first time, we were trying to lock the door upon leaving, so it wasn't a big deal. We were eventually able to unjam the lock by fiddling with it. This time we were rescued fairly quickly. Next time, what if I'm locked out, it's the middle of the night, and my phone is inside the apartment? Eeep.
