Locked out

Another quickie "just for laughs".

I mentioned before that I went to a bar with friends recently, right? Well, I still don't like the taste of alcoholic drinks much, but quoting another exchange student, in Japan we get used to drink when the social situation demands so (and only in that situations).

Although I don't drink enough to get drunk (and hope never doing so), even after only a little I'm a little out of my normal self. (But not too much, fortunately.)

How can I say that? Well, after returning home that day, I found out after waking up that I haven't closed the door properly. I pressed the lock button at the doorknab (after pressing, the doorknab can't be turned from outside. You unlock it with a key or simply turning it from inside), but the door was ajar (slightly open)...

Fortunately this is Japan away from the town centre, so nothing happened this time (I really should be more careful from now on...). Anyway, I was going to take a shower (bathroom is shared where I live), so I gave little attention to it at that time. But did I mention that I'd pressed the lock button?

So, after shower I found out that I'd locked myself out. What I should do? Ask the renter to open for me? Play with the keyhole hoping I'd be able to open it? Look for a keymaker? (Note: I've never seen one in Japan yet.)

No. My room is at the first floor (ground level), so I opened the window and entered through it. Hopefully nobody saw me... But if somebody had seen it'd be funny (not for me at the time, though). Trying to break into your own room and being mistaken by a burglar or anything like that... Guess I still wasn't my normal self.

(Ok, it's no big deal doing that, but it seemed a little strange here...)
