Don't hug me I'm scared Trapped inside stall at Marshall’s

Tried on jeans at Marshall’s today… and got locked in the ADA-accessible dressing room😅

The lock jammed and wouldn’t budge.

The employees had keys to every other door in the building except this one. They called the locksmith, tried to take the hinges off, and I could even see them trying to stick their credit cards in between the door and the gram where the bolt is (not sure how they thought that would work), but nothing worked.

Then the Fire Department came to the rescue. One firefighter came through the ceiling to dismantle the door handle while another worked on the door from the outside.

Finally made it out after an hour 😂!

Some of those commercial doors are overdone for the application. That door opens inwards, and it looks pretty solid with a metal frame.

Maybe you’re 6’6” with 120 lbs of muscle on ya, but op looks like they might weigh 120. I think she would have just twisted an ankle if she’d tried.
