Unexpected Visitors (uncontrollable laughter)

My favorite part of fall semester by far is football season. Even though the Frogs are not doing so hot this year, I still love going out to the games. However, I really do believe that the early morning games (yes 11am is early for me) do crazy things to people. Don’t believe me? Please continue to read the following story. It was an eleven o’clock morning game and I was not thrilled to wake up early, but I knew that it would be fine once I got up and went to tailgate. After decking out in purple my friends and I headed over to a few different tailgates before the game. I have to say that tailgating is such a great idea. I don’t know whom to thank for inventing the concept but I am grateful for it. After stuffing my friends and I were done eating a socializing with friends we decided to head over to the game. Again I love my frogs but it has not been easy to watch them play this season.

            About half way through the game I could tell that my roommates were getting tired and we all decided that it was time to leave. Of course we were hungry so we ordered a pizza and headed back to our apartment. When we got back we feasted and all passed out on the couch (with the game on of course). After about a few hours we all kind of woke up but still were sprawled out in various locations of the living room. I decided it would be the decent thing to do to get up and possibly get ready for going out later in the evening, so I got up and walked towards my room. After walking to my room I realized I left my phone on the couch so I went to walk back into the living room when I hear the front door open. I knew that everyone was home so I walked over to see who could be walking in. To my surprise they were not familiar faces.

            The people who walked in looked like they were a couple, a confused couple. I looked at my friend Cat and asked her if they were her friends. She looked at me with confusion and said no who are they. Then, it happened. They started speaking and we had no idea what they were saying. It was clear that they were in the wrong place but we didn’t know what to say. Finally one of them muttered a room number and I explained to them that they were looking for a room that was down the hall. In my head I thought that they would head on their way but they just stood there (rather intoxicated looking) and starred at me. I started showing them to the door when the guy turned around and asked, “How did I get here?” I remember thinking “How am I supposed to tell you that? You just walked in my apartment and awkwardly starred at me for two minutes and now you decide to ask me a question?” I told him that I had no idea how he got here and he asked me again how he had gotten here, and followed that up with I’m so sorry, I’m so lost. I told him that room 204 was down the hallway. They set off down the hall and I shut the door behind them. I turned to my roommates and we all busted out laughing. This had to be the strangest encounter we had ever had in our apartment. But wait… there’s more!

            There is a famous saying, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Well shame on me for not locking the door after the first encounter because 20 minutes later we heard the door open, and once again there they were. Standing starring at us. This time the guy was quick to say, “I’m so sorry, can you tell me where I am?” Getting a little freaked out my roommates and I pointed to 204 (which is the room they walked into when they left) and explained to them again, that they were in the wrong room. After telling them all of this, they still stood there and starred. My roommates and I all looked and each other and I guess I got voted to be the brave one because I again had to escort them out of our apartment. This time I locked the door behind me. Here is the part that would seemingly be the conclusion to my story, but unfortunately there’s more. My roommate and I went to go grab some food to eat and as we opened the door we see the couple standing there as if they were trying to get in. They quickly walked away an as we headed toward the elevator I ran back to the door and locked it. When we got back to our apartment we told our other roommates and could not stop laughing. This had to be the weirdest but most entertaining encounter we had ever had.
