We’ve all been there. You come back to your apartment and realize that you forgot your keys. Let the crisis ensue…
1. You tell yourself not to panic
2. You hit your buzzer, hoping that your roommate is home
3. When there’s no answer, you call your roommate
4. When there’s no answer, you start to panic
5. You wonder how long you’d have to sit and wait here until your roommate gets back
6. It’s too long, so you consider trying to jump onto the fire escape
7. Naturally, you fail
8. Plan B: Get someone else to let you in the building, and access the fire escape from the roof
9. You ring everyone’s buzzers and no one answers
10. You try to come in behind someone else, but they slam the door in your face
11. You consider calling a locksmith
12. But that’s gonna be at least 200 dollars and you don’t have that kind of money
13. You take a walk to get a coffee
14. You consider calling your mom and crying
15. You decide not to, and go back to your apartment
16. Someone finally lets you in the building
17. You go up to the roof and start to go down the fire escape
18. The fire escape only goes to your roommate’s window, and you look in and see the little shit has been sleeping the entire time
19. You bang on the window
20. Your roommate wakes up, comes to the window and asks “What are you doing out there?”
21. Facepalm
