Every now and then we would get unexpected knocks at our door. Are we expecting guests?

And door to door didn't seem like a common thing in our building because we were in a private condo complex.

So as a newcomer to our home, I carelessly opened the door for those people.

I mean, our number plates were pretty close to each other

and I would have let it go if it didn't happen again.

"man, our neighbor must be pretty popular to having this many guests this often."

When I thought that maybe our number plates were just oriented badly,

I realized I was giving these people too much credit.

I mean, it's pretty obvious which one corresponds to which door,

like, if this—if they thought this was mine, what did they think this number was?

Come on. How unusual was it for someone to continuously have guests

but not have any of them returned for another visit?

because surely if they made the mistake of confusing the address once,

Eventually, we stopped opening the door for these people.

If we didn't recognize them, we continued to peek and observe

As we predicted, after knocking on our door and receiving no answer

they would realize their mistake and knock on the correct door.

Or they would text or call someone on their phone while pacing back and forth in the hallway

until lo and behold, our very popular neighbor opens their door and reels them in.

And they were always welcomed with something overly comforting like,

like, what? That's that's not how you greet normal guests.

It started getting bad when some of them stopped knocking

One day, we were changing the light bulbs in our living room

and the one time we forgot to lock the door,

I don't mean to generalize what he looked like,

demographic of our neighbor's usual guest list.

He took a few steps in and I could tell by his expression and hesitance to proceed,

that he did not know where the hell he was.

and he turned around and left without a word.

On another occasion when I was expecting a package,

we opened the door to what we thought was the delivery service.

We discovered he neither had a package nor was a delivery service.

Well, he did have a package that he intended to deliver, if you know what I mean.

But we did not want to be at the receiving end of that.

We neither greeted him nor told him to come in,

and he just walks in anyway with such confidence that he was at the right place

Almost made it to the living room before we had to go bouncer mode and kick him out.

And recently, if you guys follow me on Twitter,

I archived what was probably the creepiest encounter yet.

One morning I was woken up by Nala's growling

and the only reason she gets defensive is when she detects a stranger in the house.

I thought that it might have been one of my roommate's friends,

but I didn't hear anyone talking in the living room.

So I opened my bedroom door and peeked out to see

that my roommate was still sleeping on the couch.

I step out of my room and see a woman sitting on our chair like she's waiting for something.

I later found out that my other roommate lost his keys the previous night

and couldn't lock the door when he left for work that morning.

Which left us susceptible to potential serial killers,

We... we probably could have been murdered in our sleep, huh.

But way before this incident, we came to a conclusion

And we speculated that that woman might have been a new recruit

because she was holding some papers that we assumed to be, like,
