Oddbean new post about login | logout First afternoon of a few days of solo parenting and my son has locked himself in the bathroom (accidentally) lol. How’s your day going friends?
I will DoorDash you wine
@NikkiNeighbor is on his way over to help out and suggested something similar lol
How do I get @NikkiNeighbor to come to my house? Lol. I’m glad you have help
Im having a woodford old fashioned at the houston airport. Tell elliott I said hi through the door.
I did this once. I distinctly remember my parents slipping crackers under the door for me while we waited for some sort of handyman
lol
this is hilarious https://i.nostr.build/KGn6X.jpg
Great advice coming from all angles lol https://image.nostr.build/3f304277cc67cdc2473871329da0d0ccbaf91d0bf646d2ea9cfe7fea7c7d7169.jpg
Locking children in rooms 🤝 silence and cold drinks
Don’t have to eat candy hiding in the pantry or the bathroom.
Kick close to the latch for best chance of penetration.
Most bathroom door locks are privacy locks not standard door locks and can be opened with a flathead screwdriver.
How? I tried a nail in the hole https://image.nostr.build/ee9cabcf68690b590b904b7d5e00826a8a4d575ae7536f0b43b1a53502e729e7.jpg
you should be able to poke a wire coat hanger in the hole
I would push a pin in that.
Ya we had pins above the door for this purpose but they aren’t working lol
tell him it is a game, and if he can figure out how to unlock the door, he will get $20 as a prize #escaperoom
In the states, this worked for me for same problem, jiggled a bit while inside and unlocked, felt like a new superpower https://image.nostr.build/3870767fca274dfcaf5a1cf0a7ac958f21981299cebaa9c70434fe24b932cc65.jpg
You should just be able to shove it in the hole until it hit something in the middle. Then push. It should immediately unlock.
These are a bit tougher but you should still be able to break in fairly easily. Any sort of long pin or nail or eyeglass kit screwdriver should do the trick. https://image.nostr.build/79f2ada2d0519b9f682cf2bf896902315bc3ee47ae80d0a43549c2ac3db84bbd.jpg
If there’s space between the latch and the door frame you might be able to thread through a chord or cable tie to pull and release the latch - similar to this: https://youtube.com/shorts/2y_KP22kDKo?feature=shared
Our daughter wanted to be a spy for the longest time and MASTERED the art of popping these locks 😂. (Now, every morning I have to do this to get the teenage son up for school 🙄)
I’m now at the Urgent Care because my daughter got hit in the eye with a tether ball. So ok day. 🥲 https://i.nostr.build/VwZ77.jpg
Oh no! :( hope she’s ok! #parenting right? My guy is fine. I slid some books under there so he can get his home reading done lol
