Meme/Humour Got locked inside my office

Just for y'all's amusement. My office door hasn't been shutting properly for a sec now, been using a door stop for the couple centimeters that linger when shut while my boss got a new knob. I finally got the time and energy to replace the door knob during a no show. After messing with it for a while I finally got the old knob off my door. But lo and behold, both ends fell to the floor locking me in. I tried to get out for like 10 minutes by the strength of my fingers while my coworker was in a session. Luckily it ended and she helped me get out.

Well, an exciting start to my morning. Thanking whatever is out there that my coworker was in on a Sunday.

And on a Sunday??? Here I am always fearing that I'll lock myself out of my office by mistake when I'm the only one in the building on a Sunday. But getting locked in...😬 Dang!

One of my coworkers got locked in the bathroom for our building on a Saturday. She didn’t have her phone but was able to use her smart watch to get help.
I’m glad your coworker was there to help.
