I just accidently locked myself in this room
I decided to call the bar to see if my friend was there. My dog started barking, which made the phone call difficult to hear so I shut him out. I temporarily forgot why we never shut this door. The door is stuck. Any suggestions?
It isn't like I am in danger, barring the house catching on fire or something. My husband said that he would be home early in the morning. It's just a lit annoying, especially since my dog is barking at the door from the other side.

1. If the hinges are on your side of the door
remove them and pry the door open from the other side. Failing that, is there a window, and if so, can you get out without injuring yourself.

2. Since I don't have my keys with me
I'd be locked out of the house if I climbed through the window. That would be useful only if the house was on fire or something.
The hinges are on this side. I'll have to see if I can find a screw driver or something.

ANYTHING to displace the bolts holding the door to the hinge.

BTW- put the smart ass dog in there for a couple of minutes and laugh at him! Payback & all.......

7. How'd you get out?
At first I thought this would be one of those riddles...like you're locked in a room with a book of matches, a string and a soda can.

All MacGyver and shit.
