I forgot my key on the hole and locked the door when I got in. Now I can’t open the door.

I’m not concerned, the wife is hanging with a friend, so she’ll be able to open the door when she gets back, but I was planning to go get a pizza

    if you left your key behind you could quite easily lock yourself out, as the door would lock on closing.

    Electronic locks here. Checking for the badge/card or the fob is something I learned when moving from a more- to less-secure area at work when there was more secret-squirrel stuff than now (more ‘private-possum’ than ‘secret-squirrel’ at this place), and that reflexive check at home when leaving the apartment has saved my bacon.

    (And yes, if I activate the elevator keypad I can only go to my own floor and to common-area floors with it. It’s pretty cool)
