This topic is about short riddles, because not everyone likes to do the larger logical puzzles. If you do like those, then click here.
If you've guessed the riddle, you can immediately post another one yourself. Let's keep it going.
I will start with this riddle:
What is easy to get into, but hard to get out of?
When I am young I am tall, when I am old I am small. What am I?
@Lola32 a pencil :)

Great answer and it is also right, but not the one I was looking for ;)
@Lola32 Interesting, I shall have to think about it some more! :)

Trafic light ?
@ravenousPhoenix correct!
A man was walking along a railway track when he spotted an express train speeding towards him. To avoid being hit, he jumped off the track. But before he jumped off the track he ran ten feet towards the train.
Why did he ran towards the train before jumping off the track?
@DarkWolf To get to a gap in the fence?
@DarkWolf There was a closer train behind him?
@DarkWolf he's in a tunnel so he has to run then jump.
Unresolved suicidal ideations? (Flippantly suggested, of course.)
I've heard multiple very good and 'out-of-the-box' answers. But the original answer to this riddle is actually that he walked into a tunnel, so he needs to run towards the train the get out of the tunnel first. Shoutout to @Winterlieshere for getting that answer first

What am I?
Question: Two men, Watson and Holmes, are out in the extremely dry forest. They are completely surrounded by a large forest fire on one side and a dangerous cliff on the other. The wind is blowing the forest fire towards them and the cliff. The fire will reach them in about one day.
Holmes turns to Watson, "I have matches, berries, and enough water for a day. We aren't going to die." How can they avoid getting swallowed up by the forest fire?
@DarkWolf
With the matches they have, they can make a controlled fire. With it, they can burn some parts of the forest to make an open field. That way, there won't be anything for the fire to burn and it will naturally get extinguished.
