when I was in high school.
 I got locked inside the hallway where like the classroom exited into this little Hall way.
 and it was on a Saturday . I was actually judging a debate tournament at another high school as a senior . 
and I realize the classroom doors had locked behind me and the exit out into the parking lot .
it had a chain on it. it was like locked.
 because it wasn't the main. it was like a back entry . 
so I was stuck there and the classrooms that I had come through no one was in .
so I'm like pounding on the door .
no one could hear me.
 so I started. I didn't have much I was trying to break the glass on to get out. because I was stuck in there for like five hours.
 five hours at the time.  I was trapped there. and I was willing to get out by any means necessary .
and it means I probably would've started a fire .
 I saw them in the parking lot and they came up and I was able to tell them I couldn't get through the chain .
but they were able to go around the front and let me out.

A: I can't believe the tickets for this concert sold out in just 10 minutes.
B: I know. We have to get tickets by any means necessary.
A: We still have a chance! They're selling the front-row seats to the first people in line on the night of the concert.
B: I'm willing to go the day before and camp outside the box office overnight. I want to see this band at all costs!
A: I'm down! I've never waited in line overnight for anything, but I'll do whatever it takes to get front-row seats.
B: Let's do it! No matter what, we're getting those tickets.
