Have you ever been trapped inside your home? How did you get out?

That had to look funny, you climbing out the window cause you couldn't get out the door. My front door knob broke one time and we couldn't open the front door, it wouldn't work. That was nice of you to help you neighbors. I was once trapped in a work truck. I backed it up in the garage for the night, the door handle broke off. I was to close on the other side to get out that way. I had to use the 2 way radio and call the front ofice, to come and let me out of the truck.

That has never happened to me. However, I once was trapped inside an outhouse at a gas station. Talk about embarresment. The door would not open, and I was screaming and pounding on it, until some man opened it. It was an awful experience.

I have never been trapped in my house..but have been trapped out of my house and had to climb back in to the house through a window ..and the neighbors thinking i was breaking in called the police..That was embarrassing having to explain that I was breaking into my own house..really 'apartment'

A few years back, I think it was 1992, we had a blizzard. When we got up that morning, snow was blocking our way but there was a tiny space with just enough room to stand and we could shovel our way out. Many others in our apartment complex had to climb out their windows so they could shovel. It was days before we had it all cleaned up. I thought about that year yesterday during our recent storm, so I stayed up all night just to check the door every so often. I went out a few times to keep the entrance way cleared. We got no where near the amount that we did during the blizzard but it is kind of scary to be trapped in your own home. I'm glad you got out ok. Lets hope there are no more snow storms this year.

We did a couple of years ago when it snowed so much that the snow was over half way up the door outside . It wasn't that big of a deal though because all the roads were blocked and no one could go anywhere's anyway but I made my husband go out and unblock the door as I was worried about what would happen if there was a fire and we needed to get out . We were not trapped long as my husband did like you and climbed out the window and then shovelled the snow that was in front of the door . I thought it was kind of scary though just because that is all you could see everywhere was snow and even though we have always got a lot of snow , we had never had this much snow before where we were actually stuck in our house .
