I came back from uni and let myself into the house and now the key doesnt want to come out of the front door. It's stuck!

Franki isnt in and the other housemate isnt in and it's so annoying and I've sworn and it and tried everything.

The landlord is coming over soon because I rang him so I'm gonna look like a retard. If he takes the key out with ease I'm going to kill myself.

GAHHHHH

    good idea. I'm gonna make one now and wait for the landlord to arrive. It has to be the lock and not just me being a pansy. Fingers crossed

    Offer the landlord one too when he arrives, that'll soften him up.

    Recently, when I closed the door it didn't make that satisfying *click* and when I wanted to open it again I couldn't. The key would turn but not far enough. I tried to turn it with 2 hands. I pulled the door really strong towards myself to maybe close it properly. I tried to push it, maybe it will jump out of the lock (because I thought it wasn't really in). When my aunt came up with a spare key she could just normally unlock the door and it would work for me like normal too. :o

    I do this sort of thing loads! I'm terrible with keys though, don't know why, just can't seem to get them in the hole properly and i'm always scared it'll get stuck and/or break!

    Once I was leaving for a lesson and after I pulled the door shut I realised I'd forgotten my keys in the house. No one else was there so I couldn't leave without locking.
    I thought my grandma (who lives nearby) had a spare so I went there to get it. I took the bunch and brought them back; none of the keys fit.
    So I went back there to see maybe it was some other key. There were a lot of them with no label so I took them all and tried them one by one. None of them fit either.
    Then I thought my aunt (lives on the floor below us) might have a spare. I rang the doorbell and got no answer. I didn't have my mobile so I went back to my grandma's to call from there. No answer either. So I took all the keys again and went back home.
    I tries all the keys again, one by one, and still none fit. I was pretty pissed off by this time so I kicked the door...

    ...and it swung open, just like that. It turns out the lock hadn't gone in the wall when I pulled it, and the only think keeping it shut was that it had got stuck in the frame. Total Mr. Bean moment...
    I missed my lesson anyway, though.
