apartment dwellers

Have you ever mistakenly walked into the wrong apartment? I have, 3 times, same apartment. Luckily it is people who know who I am so no harm, but scaring the Frosted Flakes out of myself. I be like three steps in the door and looking around turning around in circles, felling/thinking like "what the ?"

Nope....never happened to me.

I've gotten into the wrong car, though. It was the exact same model, make, year, and color as mine.

Wow, no way, I can't imagine ever doing this. Don't people lock their doors where you live? Walking into someone else's apartment is likely to get you shot in some places.

I tried to put my key in the wrong lock a couple of times.

Lots of people don't lock their doors. It's all about perception along with location perhaps. I live in a totally different world than most people. I usually don't lock my doors. It doesn't cross my mind that anything bad can happen and it never has. I have, when I owned a car, left my wallet in the car all the time, left money in the car, unlocked, never having a problem. My 80yo mother leaves her door unlocked most of the time. People may think me insane but I believe your thoughts create your world. If you fixate your thoughts on negativity, it is to me like a magnetic force attracting negativity into your life. I have not always lived like this, but since I took this approach to life I have noticed that my life is virtually free from things like what you are thinking would be the consequence of being unsecured. It works for me, anyway. And now my rhetorical thread has turned philosophical, but my mind does this sometimes.

I just try not to think about bad things. I guess I'm lucky.

I have done that. I have tried to put my key into doors that don't have locks, but instead security codes.

Wrong car, yes, wrong office, once, but never the wrong apartment.

Then again I once drove into town and took the bus back. I only realized that something was wrong when I got back home and the car wasn't parked outside.

I live in a townhouse apartment & it's the 2nd one on the corner so it's easy not to get it confused which I would probably do if it was more in the middle.

No, but at work I often walk into the wrong offices (meaning ones I go to several times a day and should know better).
