One morning I got up and put a shirt on (bearing in mind that I was on my own and it was warm so was just sleeping in my knickers). Thank goodness I bothered to put a shirt on because I walked out of the apartment to put some tuna for the cat and the door locked behind me. I had to walk all the way across the harbour to get a spare key to get myself back in.
Another equally embarressing story. I lived alone and was off work sick, it was snowing. I decided to pop next door to the newsagents for some magazine. Fortunately I was fully dressed, although I did have slippers on. Again, the door locked behind me and I was locked out. I had to ask the newsagent if I could borrow her phone, fortunately my mum was home so she set off to help me out, but I had to wait in the newsagents coughing and spluttering for ten minutes till she got there.

On the first evening of a holiday in Italy, we went onto our small balcony overlooking the harbour to savour a glass of wine and enjoy the view.
As an anti mosquito precaution, I closed the sliding door behind me and found that the two of us were locked out on the balcony. I climbed onto the next balcony and very apologetically roused (from sleep) the couple next door who let me through their room so I could get the night porter to solve the problem - most embarassing, but that couple stayed friendly throughout the holiday.
