Due to a mixup with my girlfriend and her flatmate today, I'm locked in a house in Paris that has a front door which requires a key to open from both the inside and out. I don't have a key. Even with a key, the door can be very tricky to open.
Some french girl, that I do not know, who does have a key, just tried to open it from the outside but failed.
All the while I tried to explain to her in what little French I know that I am trapped inside and I don't have a key while she tried to explain to me in equally limited english, that she does have a key, but the door is too difficult to open.
After about 10 minutes of failed attempts to open the door and communicate, I finally conceded defeat and let out a feeble exclamation for "help" to which she responds, "I'm sorry, it's too difficult, I have to go now…" and left.
What a bizarre situation.
