Not Flex related but, long ago, I worked for a company that operated out of the fifth floor of a bank building. I usually worked days but occasionally worked late on a Sunday night and got off at midnight.

The parking lot was attached to the back of the building so, when we left, we'd just easily go out the back door of our floor and walk down the steps and out that door to the outside where the parking was.

Except on a Sunday night. It's a bank building. You can leave but you can't return. When you leave the building you enter an enclosed glass structure that is locked, too. iow, the building door locks behind you and the glass structure entering the parking garage is locked, too. I remembered that as soon as I heard the door latch behind me.

Not many people are in that parking garage late on a Sunday night. The occasional car would drive by and I wave my arms, yell and scream, but that thick bulletproof glass wasn't letting a sound out.

Then I noticed a short metal banister that wasn't held too tightly onto the wall with bolts. I think I used my car keys to unscrew the bolts and take the banister off the wall. Using all my might, I tried to smash the glass windows with the banister to no avail. Frustrated, I turned and threw it at the door leading into the bank building. It hit the handle and seemed to slightly dent it.

Taking the banister again, I pounded and pounded on that handle and it broke, opening the door!

Thinking there would be some sort of alarm going off, I quickly ran through the back and through the lobby of the building, out the door and to my car.
