'Oh man I'm locked in!': Man pleads for help on Twitter after falling asleep in shop massage chair

A man was forced to tweet for help when he got locked in a department store after falling asleep on a massage chair.

The man awoke to a deserted shop floor after dozing off in an electronics store in Japan.

Identified only by his twitter handle, @_Asphodelus, the sleepy customer was forced to tweet his plight when he discovered he was locked inside the shop.

Posting various photos of a dark and empty interior, he captioned the photo: “Oh man, I’m locked in!”

It is thought the man triggered an alarm which notified the police, who managed to get in touch with the shop's manager.

After 10 police officers searched him to confirm he was not a shoplifter, he tweeted that he had finally managed to get out.

The manager apologised to the man for staff's failure to notice he was still in the chair when locking up.

The man also said sorry, although it was unclear how long he nodded off for.

His original post has since been retweeted more than 39,000 times.

In response one user, @sasuga_23, simply said: “How did this happen?”

Yonedore replied: “It is a valuable experience.”

Others commented it was their childhood dream to be locked inside a department store, while others likened the man’s predicament to popular ‘escape the room’ style games.
