I guess in bove-world there is no back door to use for a few hours,
then get a cheaper locksmith to sort the problem during normal
business hours. Or let a neighbour, husband or whoever fix it for you
for free.

You bring it on yourself in so many ways (if any of this is even
true).

Of course the door knob would spontaneously break off at 5 am and
require the services of a locksmith. Any jackass can figure a way to
secure a door closed for a few hours, go to a hardware store and buy a
new door knob and lock set. It is a 5 minute job to replace it.

What? And not be able to use the back door at 5 am?

She brings on herself?? I would not wish that pain on anyone, but if it
was anyone else I would be more likely to believe it.

By that I meant her lifestyle, diet and general attitude.
Assuming any of what she has posted here is true, of course...

I have a bad back myself, and for the most part I push through the
pain and am physically active on a daily basis. I do usually smoke
some weed a few hours after going to sleep - my back won't allow me
the sleep uninterrupted much more than the first 2-3 hours, and the
weed makes a big difference with getting back to sleep for a few more
hours.

I might have 4 or so 'episodes' per year where I can barely walk and
will take pharmaceutical painkillers (if I have any available).

Most guys half my age could never keep up with me (and they don't,
IME). If I had bove's attitude, I would be obese, unfit and
compounding my back pain problems.

The door was secured. The door wouldn't open! And neither would the storm
door which I had locked. I don't know how to remove a broken door knob much
less put a new one on and I was in far too much pain to attempt to tackle
that. Plus I wanted a new deadbolt and 4 keys. Whatever. The job is done
now.

Nobody brings medical problems on themselves. Perhaps with a few
exceptions. Like people who do not do what they are supposed to.

So, you secured the door but still had to call an expensive after hours
24/7 locksmith? Because that's the only entrance/exit. You couldn't
wait a few hours? R i i i g h t. Funny stuff, girlfriend.

Any monkey can replace a lockset... a lockset includes knobs. Remove
the old lockset, bring it to the hardware store and they'll match up
those that will fit for you to choose from. There are only four
phillips screws for a lockset, two at the latch and two for the lock
itself. In most neighborhods one doesn't really need a door lock,
locks are only to keep honest people out... thieves don't enter
through the front door, much easier to go round back where it's dark
and bust in through a window.

Even *I* can install a new door knob and also deadbolt locks. BTDT.

It sure doesn't sound like there would be any reason to break into her
house.

Well maybe you can. Are you disabled? Thought not. As I said... I was in
excruciating pain and was seriously sleep deprived for reasons I will not
get into here. I had a problem. I wanted it fixed. I got it fixed. It's
done. Stick a fork in it.

There was nothing funny about this and that certainly wasn't the only
exit/entrance. I was sleep deprived, ****ed off and in a whole lot of pain.
So when I found someone who would come out and fix the problem almost right
away, I went with it. I wasn't about to wait here all day in the hopes that
someone might show up. As has been the case with previous repair people.

I'm not your girlfriend nor would I be. You do what you want to do and I'll
do what I want to do. K?

"Wait here?" You were already housebound, remember? According to you,
that day you were in so much pain you could neither walk nor drive.

And I wanted to go to bed. Which I couldn't have done if I had to stay up
and wait for a repairman to come. My bedroom is in the back of this
remodeled house. No way can I hear the doorbell from there. Even in this
room, the only way I can tell if someone has come to the door is to open it
and just have the storm door there so that I can see when they arrive. I
couldn't do that so all I could do was sit in my husband's recliner in the
living room. Recliners are very uncomfortable for me to sit in on a good
day so I wasn't liking that option either. At any rate, it's all fixed now
so let's all move along. K?
