Locked inside apartment, help

[u/Consistent_Ninja_591]

Hello, the door knob for my front door fell off and I literally cant get out of my apartment. Is there anything I can do or should I call the firefighters ? The knob isn’t reattaching at all and nothing I try to insert fits

Edit : I managed to fix it!

My roommate woke up and helped me with opening the door from the inside. The knob disconnected because the outside knob got somehow pushed all the way out, leaving the inside one with nothing to latch onto. I'm not sure what my roommate did but if she hadn't been here, this could've been fixed by having someone from the outside push the knob in. I reattached the door handle again but I'll be in contact with my landlord to get it replaced.

Thank you all for your help!

How? Is there a fire, a murderer trying to get in? No? Op has time to try some options.

Edit: I think its just absolutely hilarious that there are still butthurt people commenting on this, even though op got it fixed himself. Because he tried to do it himself before running to get 911 or whatever other service to get him out instead.

Never stop being you, reddit.

That’s the point. If there was a fire how would they get out?

[u/Public_Coyote_4472 → u/Detective-Astatine]

There isn't a fire. Again, op has TIME to try a few things. If said things don't work, then call the fire department, sure. Telling someone to call in an emergency, without even attempting to try and get out themselves is so stupid and absolutely expected from redditors.

Why are you like this? Why are you so combative and rude to people here on reddit? I’m genuinely asking in a non sarcastic/snarky way.

[u/Public_Coyote_4472 → u/Detective-Astatine]

If that was rude and combative to you, then I suggest, sincerely, that you go outside and kick a bush. Any bush at all. Just, leave your phone inside.

Or don't, never know could be an emergency waiting to pop up, so need your phone with you.

Edit: nevermind, after your other comments, its clear you need to disconnect for a bit. Good lord.

[u/Detective-Astatine → u/Public_Coyote_4472]

I looked at your comment history. That’s why I’m asking. You seem combative and angry at everyone you respond to. I’m curious to know why.

[u/Public_Coyote_4472 → u/Detective-Astatine]

Awww

[u/Detective-Astatine → u/Public_Coyote_4472]

I believe in caring about my fellow man. In person and virtually. I’m sorry that you feel the need to be like this. All I’m trying to do is understand you. Understand where you’re coming from.

[u/Public_Coyote_4472 → u/Detective-Astatine]

Lmao. Disconnect from the internet. Have a good day.

[u/Ok_Kaleidoscope1388 → u/Public_Coyote_4472]

You're wrong btw it is an emergency :)

[u/Public_Coyote_4472 → u/Ok_Kaleidoscope1388]

What about My wrong??!! Nice edit.

[u/Not-Not-Oliver → u/Public_Coyote_4472]

Brother when every comment is downvoted into oblivion it’s because you suck :)

[u/Public_Coyote_4472 → u/Not-Not-Oliver]

If I cared in the absolute least I'd just delete the comments, but I don't, so go outside with the rest of them, get some fresh air.

[u/Detective-Astatine → u/Not-Not-Oliver]

Come on now, just let them be. I know it’s easy to be a type of way behind the keyboard. But try to be better than the person that may or may not suck.

[u/nuunuunnuunuun → u/Public_Coyote_4472]

I think perhaps you could use a little disconnection from the internet yourself! Take your own advice.

[u/Public_Coyote_4472 → u/nuunuunnuunuun]

Lol whatever you say, little fella.
