Time: 3:00 AM. A beautiful night in Key West. The windows are wide open. Somewhere on the front porch of one of the five townhouses in our little complex…
Bang, bang, bang, bang. “Let me in!”
(pause)
Bang, bang, bang, bang. “Let me in!”
(pause)
Bang, bang, bang, bang. “Let me in!”
(pause)
(from a second story window) “Use the front door code.”
“I don’t have it. Come down and let me in!”
“No! Let yourself in. I’m texting you the code.”
(pause)
Bang, bang, bang, bang. “Let me in!”
“No! Use the code.”
“I doesn’t work.” Bang, bang, bang, bang. “Come down here and let me in!”
“You did it wrong. Try again.”
(pause)
“It still doesn’t work.” Bang, bang, bang, bang. “Come down here and let me in!”
“I’m in bed!”
“I don’t care!”
“I’m naked.”
“I don’t care!”
“I’m not alone.”
“I don’t care! Get down here and let me in.”
“I’m texting the code again.”
(pause)
“Still not working.” Bang, bang, bang, bang. “Get your ass down here and let me in!”
“I am down. I’m standing on the front porch. I don’t see you.”
“What do you mean you don’t see me? I am standing right here.”
Together: “Ohhhh. Wrong house.”
Aaaand scene.

OMG! That is a classic comedy sketch played out in real life. I say this all the time and unfortunately it’s true…there is very little that is too stupid, ridiculous, or unbelievable as seen on TV or in the movies or read in a story that hasn’t happened to someone, somewhere, at sometime. I hope you were able to see the humor at 3am?!
Julianne, I admit it was funnier the next morning.
ROTFLMAO!!! And I have heard of/read investigative reports of incidents of wrong door, wrong person for quite some time. Thanks for triggering memories and laughter!
I guess, given Florida’s Stand your Ground laws it all could have gone much worse.
Sounds like a great opening scene for a mystery!
What fun it would be to imagine the next scene.
That is hilarious!
Thank you thank you! What a laugh!
Loved it. Yes, a big laugh here. Now in a romance novel, this could be how the hero and heroine meet. There wouldn’t actually be anyone upstairs with the heroine.
