I did that once, albeit staying at a mate's parent's house after a very drunken NYE.Taipan wrote: Wed Oct 29, 2025 1:40 pm I bought a new build back in the early 80s. Came home pissed up and took the first right off teh main road instead of the second right and spent ages trying to get into the wrong house!
Funny now, but the arrest for drunk & disorderly and attempted burglary less so at the time.

I was lucky as it could have easily have got nasty, me getting clumped or Plod called I suppose. Bloke thought it was hilarious. I went back the next day to apologise in case I scared his wife etc but again he was fine about it, saying he could easily do the same thing as the houses do all look alike...Slenver wrote: Thu Oct 30, 2025 10:08 amI did that once, albeit staying at a mate's parent's house after a very drunken NYE.Taipan wrote: Wed Oct 29, 2025 1:40 pm I bought a new build back in the early 80s.

I knew someone with a front door mat that said 'Not You Again!'
