28. I ilve in a large apartment building and ONCE I tried to go into the wrong unit.

Fri Sep 7, 2018, 12:35 PM

Sep 2018

The door was locked, I realized it was the wrong floor, bottom line, I didn't go in, and I would have instantly known it wasn't my apartment if I had. The reason I was trying the wrong door is that our floors have different hallway wall colors, and this floor has a very, very similar color to my own floor, it was late, I made a mistake. So THAT part I can see, but that's where I part ways with this officer.
