Kids! Pretty sure "toddler locked themselves in the bathroom" is pretty common everywhere with bathroom locks.

We have one screwdriver that fits in the bathroom doorknob to unlock it from the outside. It lives on a little shelf above the bathroom door. We went through a phase where it got used three times a week.

You can also put a slim one on the frame on top of the door. Always need to have these handy!

We moved into our house a few years before we had kids. We also knew the previous owners had kids. First time our toddler locked the bathroom door I magically thought тАЬhuh I wonder if the previous owners put the lock popper stick on the doorframeтАЭ they did! And I beat my husband to open the door. He was busy rummaging around for paper clips.
