We came back to the hostel last night and Peter was trying to show me how to lock the bathroom door. Once successful, he went downstairs to use the bathroom there...for a while. I finished my business and unlocked the door, only to find it was stuck. Really, really stuck. For some reason, some of the bathroom doors here have slide latches on both the inside and outside. Why would you want to lock the bathroom from the outside? I'm not sure, though for some of them, that's all that keeps the door shut. I quickly realized what had happened -- when Peter was telling me what to do, he had locked the outer lock absentmindedly.
I took the opportunity to stretch -- my legs, hips, and back have been aching from the steps, the cobble-street walking, etc. I listened for the sound of Peter coming up the stairs, but after a while I worried that I missed him. I called out to him and heard him call back from downstairs. I told him he'd locked me in so he wouldn't worry it was anything scary or urgent. When he was ready, he came up and unlocked the outer lock. He had thought the two were connected on one slider, so I'd be able to open it from inside.

why would you want to lock the bathroom from the outside? because sometimes, one needs to lock juliet in the bathroom. that seems obvious enough.
