You do your housework and use technical household gadgets such as washing machines, dishwashers, etc., which have become an integral part of everyday life. Everything's done, everything's working, you go to the bathroom for a moment and you're in trouble. Namely when the dishwasher is of the opinion: “You can’t get out of there!”

He doesn't do anything, he just wants to wash up!

This is what happened in Lörrach, a city in Baden-Württemberg. A 22-year-old woman had the dishwasher running in her apartment. While he was still washing up, she went into her bathroom, which is next to the kitchen.

And she had to stay there. In the meantime, the dishwasher cycle had finished. The model is technically equipped so that it opens the door automatically after a washing program has ended. The purpose of this is to allow the accumulated hot water vapor to escape more quickly. So far so good. But if the bathroom door is right next to it and can only be opened outwards, this is extremely impractical.

The 22-year-old had to find out about that too. She could no longer open the bathroom door because the dishwasher door was blocking it. The bitter side effect: the bathroom has no window, making it impossible to escape. The woman was stuck.

Cell phone thwarts dishwasher's plans

Another technical aid was used here. Luckily, the woman had taken her cell phone into the bathroom and was able to call a friend. They in turn called the police.

The emergency services organized a second key for the apartment. But this didn't help free the 22-year-old either, as her own key was inside the apartment door. The castle was blocked. Only the fire brigade could help by opening the apartment door.

Precautions in case of emergency

What we learn from this story: Always keep an eye on your household appliances and take your cell phone with you wherever you go. Yes, even in the bathroom. 😉
