Obligatory this happened last year but was reminded of it and I’m still mortified. Last year I lived in the dorms on my university campus but I moved to a different “village” where the buildings were the same. I went home to get some stuff and my mom gave me a bunch of things to bring back to the dorm. I parked and with my arms full walked out from a different exit of the parking garage then I usually used. I am struggling to hold my things (but unwilling to make a second trip). I walk to my building and some people seeing I was struggling held the door open for me. I walk up the first flight of stairs and say some passing pleasantries to people standing on the second floor then proceed to the third floor. I put my key in the door to discover it’s unlocked so I go in. I put my stuff on the counter (dorms are apartment style where everyone gets their own room and theirs a shared common area). One of my roommates I hadn’t met yet as they were oversees at the start of the semester. All of a sudden a man walks out of the room of the roommate I hadn’t met yet. I assume it’s my roommate but maybe they are trans or androgynous (I’m female). We start having polite conversation until i realize that this isn’t my dorm…. I’m in the wrong building. I got past two layers of security (outside lock and the front door lock) and past two groups of people to then act like I owned the place in front of the owner. I then apologized and exited having to then walk with all my stuff to my actual building and dorm room on the third floor.

TL;DR I went into an identical building to mine and went into the wrong apartment acting like I owned it in front of the real owner on accident.
