Would be funnier if the participants actually had consistent avatars. I've always been disappointed that Owen abandoned Azula or whoever it was; it's how I still think of him.

Maaan I miss fiftychat. If only I didn't get a PS4...

Question: Just right now, my goddamn roommates locked me out of my own apartment. I don't have a key since the realtor people only gave us two, I have no idea why. Considering I'm living here for only two more months I'm not going to pay to get another key.

Anyways, unlike normally I'm pretty sure my only roommate who is home was asleep. Which meant that I was locked outside for 30 minutes before he got my second call and third text.

If, thank god, he didn't answer and slept right through it. And I can't lockpick. And the property managers are closed today. What exactly are my options for getting back in? Could I go to the police and ask? Would the property managers answer their phone even though Google says their closed? I don't want this to happen again, although I feel living with these morons that it will.

Identify a window that doesn't latch so you can climb in should it be necessary.

Are you still outside, or back in?

I was locked out recently but I was able to find the guy with the keys, and I know of two locksmiths around me. If desperate I probably could've gotten in through the first-floor balcony. Come to think of it I should probably get my roommates' numbers in case the office guy isn't in one day when I forget my keys...

As for you, that's tricky. I really have no clue how much keys cost, but if they were cheap enough, I'd get one, since although it's just two more months few things genuinely enrage and frustrate me more than being locked out of my own place, and I dunno if you have any other places where you can crash if needed. So, are there four of you? And two keys? Do you switch off with the keys, or do two of you usually have them?

 

[Farm Boy]

A key is usually cheap to duplicate at Walmart, definitely cheaper than replacing a window.

 

[Steph]

If he had a key to duplicate, he wouldn't need to duplicate it I guess.

3 roommates 2 keys; quite the dilemma.

dupe the key it's super easy and cheap.

dunno why you didnt do it months ago

Live on the third floor, and as much as I enjoy Assassin's Creed don't think I can pull it off.

Two of them keep them and me and my other roommate just don't have them. We keep the door unlocked most of the time to deal with it. I don't know why we weren't given four keys, last apartment I had everyone got a key. I'm not sure how to get them, nor if we can just duplicate them.

I'm not sure we can duplicate it. It might be one of those things where you have to buy it from the property owners. I don't have income or money, so I can't really afford it. Need to buy food with my debt.

Am I out of luck?

 

[Steph]

Have the guy who locked you outside pay for your duplicate to make amend

 

[Joecoolyo]

I was honestly considering that option for a bit, though I don't think I have the guts to ask him. I'd feel bad making him pay for something.

EDIT: My current solution is to tape a notecard over the lock whenever I go out, starting tomorrow. That should stop unnecessary locking. However, if I am locked out again, is a locksmith the only resource to turn to?

 

[Steph]

Each roomate having is own key seems the normal solution.

 

[Arakhor]

Unless the key is some sort of special security key, you can probably take the key to any DIY store and have them cut you a new one for just a few units of your local currency.

 

[Loppan Torkel]

..or bunk with the hot twins at the second floor.

Extra key should be the way to go. The question is - why are you the one without one?
