    I can't find my keys to the house. I am cold. I am tired. I want to sleep. I don't want to wake my flat mates up. What do I do?

    Watch an episode of Survivorman on your smart phone and go from there.

    Not as annoyed as I would be if I found my friend's corpse outside because s/he didn't have the courage to wake me one night when they were locked out.

    I want to because I am dying to get into my bed but I have lost my keys one too many times. They will not be amused if I wake them up :(.

    If they get annoyed just say 'Itwasntme'.

    very, but so what? i'd forget about it and go to bed...why are you afraid of your housemates being annoyed?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 302 ✭✭RubyRoss


    They'll get over it and fall back asleep. Mine always do...

    Sit outside all night then and post on here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    Off to make a toastie and tea .............


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,754 ✭✭✭Itwasntme.


    I think I am going to wait until they get up. I can't bring myself to ring the doorbell. It makes the shrill-est sound on the planet. Well, shrill-er than most sounds I've heard.

    What do you need a shed for? Do you keep cows in it? Or is it like an extra wardrobe?

    Come round to my house for tea and biscuits*

    Order food from one of those late night places with a fake name and let them wake your housemates up. Then, as your housemate is arguing with the guy on the doorstep about he is not called Hugh Jorgan (or whatever) just stroll up as if you were just ariving home and say: "What's gonna on?" as you head inside.

    Start up the lawn mower and do a spot of gardening, it will also keep you warm:D

    Thanks Backwards Man. It's very kind of you to offer. No one else has offered to let me crash on their couches since they are awake!! I would love a stale jammydodger (don't know what this is but it sounds delicious) if I wasn't on a low fructose diet. It sounds like it's deliciously jammed with fructose.

    Are you sure you're not thinking of a barn? One shed, has the lawn mower and the like and the other one has a big freezer and tumble dryer in it.

    This is a good idea but I have no clue where they keep the lawn mower.

    If fructose means jam, then yes, yes it is!! My teabags are also turnimg a kind of yellow colour, I dont often drink tea, and the milk is curdling slightly. Oh, I'm also in Donegal, but hey, sure isn't it rhe thought that counts? :)

    You sir, are a genius. This bit of life hacking is shelved for future reference. Unfortunately, I am the only one in the house who gets food delivered so they would know for sure that it was me.

    Hmmm well ok, go out and set the neighbours car alarm off. surely your flatmates should hear that:). You could be the hero and say you chased off the robber:D

    Just knock quietly then, so as you don't wake them.

    Would you believe I actually did :pac::pac:? I don't know why I am so scared of waking them. Anyway, my fear is fast disappearing since the cold is seeping into my bones. I have only a flimsy cardigan for warmth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,783 ✭✭✭RidleyRider


    So basically you're standing outside a flat at half 3 in the morning?:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 138 ✭✭kawasaki1100


    Post out all your flatmates phone numbers and we will all ring them now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,776 ✭✭✭Jhcx

    You have been outside with over 30mins now. Hows about you contact someone inside to let you in; preferably not one who is up in a few hours for work or college.
    Tomorrow then, make yourself a copy of your key and leave it somewhere secure to assist yourself if you find yourself in this position again.

    Whatever else you do, get yourself indoors soon. Waking someone up would be far preferable than something happening to you while you are worrying and pandering about outside!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,754 ✭✭✭Itwasntme.


    A friend just emailed me a youtube rain and thunderstorm sounds to relax me. It's not working. The thunder is making this whole thing seem ominous. I just rang the doorbell. No one's answering.

    It's within college grounds. It's not on the street or anything so it's safe. It's just the cold that I have to deal with. Also, I have rang the doorbell but no one has come to the door yet and I don't have their numbers oddly enough. And, they all have to be up in the morning for college as do I.

    Do you have a car?, at least you could have the heater on, and maybe get some sleep.

    SUCCESS!! :D:D This entire time, the living room window was not locked. I was walking round to the back of the house to knock on one of my flatmate's windows when I saw that it was slightly ajar, so I climbed in and opened the front door. I have to remember to always make sure it's open when I go out. Perfect. Now I never need to worry about my keys again. :) Thanks for keeping me company in the cold AH!! :)
