this happened like a week ago
i came home pretty tired after work and went up to my floor in my apartment building. everything looked normal so i walked to “my” door and tried to unlock it.
the key wouldn’t go in.
i tried again.
still nothing.
i’m standing there thinking “did my landlord change the lock or something??”
then the door suddenly opens from the inside.
a guy i have never seen in my life is standing there looking at me like i’m about to rob him.
turns out i accidentally went to the floor above mine and was trying to unlock someone else’s apartment for like 30 seconds.
i just stood there for a second and said
“uh… wrong floor”
then walked away like that somehow explained everything.
every time i see that guy in the building we both pretend we don’t know each other.
TL;DR: tried to unlock what i thought was my apartment. it was someone else’s door and the guy was inside watching me struggle with the lock.
