This may out me but here goes...

I was asked to work a couple of hours yesterday to finish a report. I usually work about 20 miles from home but was told I could use a hot desk in a building down the road from me that my company rents with another company, and that it would be open all day on a Sunday as a couple of people usually work. It's a small building on an industrial estate.

I went down, got let in by a dainty lady, signed in, found myself a desk in an empty room. 2 hours later (about midday so well before closing time I was told) I left the building to find the large 15ft or so metal gates were locked and I was stuck in the courtyard in the bastard rain. I couldn't get back in as I didn't have a fob, (and dainty who let me in when I got there had clearly forgot about me!)

So I walked round the building to find an escape route but with no luck. No phone number anywhere to call. I tried to call DH to come and rescue me (I REALLY didn't wanna call 101 or fire brigade) but he had no phone signal as was pissing about on some fells with DD.

The building overlooks the back of our local tip, and what luck - there was a man in the offices looking out the window! "My hero" I thought "maybe they know who has the keys for this place or have a very big ladder". So I began to wave in the most distressing way I could. Think arm flailing about manically like a windscreen wiper gone haywire whilst mouthing "HELP!"

What did he do I hear you ask? Did he come over and check I was ok? Call someone who could help? No. he waved back. Then drank from his mug and walked away. I thought he'd maybe have gone somewhere to get help but 20 minutes later and nothing.

Luckily before I was about to call 101 DH rang me after finally receiving many frantic texts. After pissing himself laughing for about 10 mins he got FIL to come with 2 giant ladders so I managed to get out relatively embarrassment free (no one was around that I saw).

So WIBU to visit the tip and push this man into the skip where hard wood lives? And then push Dainty Lady in after him?

Glad you are ok but I did laugh at you climbing out with the ladders.

Dainty does need to be hauled over the coals. You were overlooked and she should have checked the book to make sure everyone was out. Not your fault.

Husband dehydrated & headachy, but thankfully no ill effects other than that.

I know it is the sort of thing that we laugh at but it could be serious.

For me I'd be scared tbh in a strange building alone overnight.
