#Waterstones

Did you hear about the Texas guy who got locked in a London bookstore and Tweeted to get rescued? Seriously? WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO BE RESCUED FROM A BOOKSTORE?! YES, I AM SHOUTING!

Sheesh. That's like updating your Facebook status, asking to get let out of heaven.

Getting locked in a bookstore is a dream come true. Just think of what you could do all night, surrounded by shelves upon shelves of books. You could:

• Binge read
• Rearrange books so that the ones you like best are the most easily seen
• Stack books into a mega kind of card house or a whopper of a book fort 
• Learn some new moves in the dance section or take up martial arts with an illustrated how-to
• Collect dinner ideas in the cooking section
• Figure out how to pick a lock from a book on the I-wanna-be-a-criminal shelf
• Become an expert juggler or origami whiz

And those are just a few ideas off the top of my head. The one thing I wouldn't do is call in the mounties for a rescue.

But that's what David Willis did. First he posted a selfie on Instagram with the message: "This is me locked inside a Waterstones bookstore in London." When that didn't get him any results. He turned to Twitter saying, "Hi Waterstones, I've been locked inside of your Trafalgar Square bookstore for two hours now. Please let me out."

Eventually he was freed, but I'm still scratching my head as to why he'd want to be.
