Today, I went to visit a friend I hadn't seen in ages who lives alone out in the country. I arrived and found the front door unlocked but no one was home. I went in anyway and helped myself to some food. Then a family I had never seen before came in, and I realized it wasn't my friend's house. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to what I thought was my friend’s house for a barbecue. I walked into the backyard and started chatting with people I didn't recognize. After about 20 minutes, I realized I was at the wrong house, eating a stranger's food. FML
Today, I confidently walked into what I thought was my friend's apartment for a party, only to find a confused elderly couple staring at me. Turns out, I was not only three doors down from where I thought his front door was, I was also on the wrong floor. FML
Today, I walked into what I thought was my friend's apartment, dropped my backpack on the couch, and started complaining about work. A complete stranger then walked out of the kitchen holding a sandwich, saw me, then yelled "HELP!" I apologized, grabbed my bag, and somehow took his TV remote with me. FML
Today, it was my second day of house-sitting. I was so out of my mind from not seeing people that I invited a bunch of friends over for dinner. I said I would pay for pizza and we could all hang out in the house. Even with an unsupervised house and free food, no one showed. FML
Today, I thought I was home alone. Likewise, my visiting grandfather thought he was alone. You can imagine the mutual surprise when I caught him stealing money from my sister's bedroom. FML
Today, I came home to a homeless man sleeping in my living room. It turns out he thought my house was abandoned due to its disheveled appearance, and decided to break in. FML
Today, I snuck into my aunt's house while she was working to raid her pantry, like I do most days. Excited for a snack cake, I went to the pantry. Apparently she'd found out, because there was a lock on it. FML
Today, after a week out of town, I came home to discover my front door unlocked. I was greeted by a reeking old lady and her gorging obese middle-aged daughter with a "Who the fuck are you?" and "What are you doing in my son's house?" Said son is the former owner, from whom I legally bought this house four years ago. FML
Today, I went with my family to go see a notoriously creepy abandoned house. We noticed the people had left a lot of stuff behind so we loaded up the car with books, records, etc. As we were leaving, we saw the family who lived there drive up. I robbed a house with my grandma. FML
Today, as I returned home, I noticed some movement inside my house. Thinking it was a break-in, I called 911. It was my friends and some coworkers trying to throw me a surprise birthday party. Nobody's said a word to me since. FML

Are you Goldilocks?

Well, that's why you don't go into a house you aren't sure about. Then eat their food right away? That's just disrespectful. You deserve it.

I think TDI for not locking their door when they're gone. That's just common sense.

Goldilocks and the three bears anyone

Haha, though you do deserve it as you could have called your friend or just waited outside, why the hell didn't the family lock their door?

Who just goes into someone's house & eats their food? You deserve it! Weren't you taught any manners?

TDI for leaving the door unlocked. Could have been worse for them though. If they were where I live (Scotland) there wouldn't technically be anything they could do about it. Tresspassing isn't illegal here.

Wait, so can I just go to Scotland and walk in someone's house and make myself a sandwich? And you're staying that wouldn't be illegal?

if their door is open you are allowed to just go in yes. We don't have trespassing laws here. Although they could maybe press theft charges for the sandwiches :P.

Amazing. You didn't notice the photos on the walls or anything indicating this wasn't your friend's house? Really?

you take someone's food and let yourself to a friend youve not seen in ages, and didn't even let them know you were coming?

How about next time just call your friend and ask for the address??

You're lucky. If you would've done that where I come from, there's an 75% chance of getting shot on sight....sorry man..

so you just walk into the house of a friend whom you haven't seen in ages house and take food from their fridge? Maybe there's a reason why you haven't met up in ages.
