Reminded of this today. I'm replacing door knobs in my house and went into my small downstairs closet, then realised I'd left the knob outside. Had not shut the door fortunately otherwise I'd have been trapped in there. The door opens inwards so no amount of barging would have opened it and there was nothing I could have used to operate the latch. Some years ago, the garage door broke when I was in there and had to use a torch and some tools to remove a section.
Back in my hitchhiking days I climbed down a cliff in Greece knowing it would not be easy to get back up but thinking I could just walk up the valley from the bottom. Then found I was stuck over a steep drop I hadn't noticed. On the difficult climb back up I found my face 6 inches from a hole with a huge snake looking out.
Once in Devon or Cornwall I scrambled up a tiny cave thinking it was ok going up as would be easy to get back down. Got to a largish open area with just a dangerous looking pit in one corner and turned to go back down. There were three different exits and I wasn't sure which one I'd come up. Luckily I chose the right one.
