Wrong Door

[Bogof60]

 This has happened to me a few times now.

Left my punting phone at home after setting off on a fairly long drive. Kind of thought I could remember the Flat number particularly because the WG had a similar car to mine and she had been pictured on the bonnet in her Gallery.
Buzzed Flat and got a grumpy reply from some bloke 
Thankfully the WG was quite understanding and i saw her a few times after that.

Next was a simple Brain Fade on my part.
A row of Semi Detached houses and the WG had said say 37 and I turned up and rung the bell of 38 to be greeted by an elderly couple so I just blustered and said sorry wrong address 

Most recent was at a new development and I was given Flat number lets say 8 and the outside door will be open so just come upstairs. So after wandering around this new place for a while I had to ring her again and she directed me to the Flat.
Problem was that House number 8 was very close to this and of course the house number was much more visible.
And the blooming door was ajar 
So in I went to be greeted by a great big dog and after shouting hello up the stairs a woman appeared who was not obviously the Wg ( wrong Colour).
Had to once again say sorry wrong place and beat a hasty retreat.
Flat 8 was almost next door.
Wg did say that it was fairly common for people to go to the wrong door as it was a new development

So in I went to be greeted by a great big dog ...

That can mean you've got the correct address 

[Vice Admiral]

I've always understood that "going in the wrong door" is a euphemism for anal sex.

[Jonestown]

I thought you were going to say you had left your punting phone at home - where someone might spot it and pick it up - that would be an even greater mistake !

[threechilliman]

I had similar in a block of apartments. Three on one floor but the number sequence wasn't quite as you'd expect. I very nearly knocked on the wrong door......

Similar in a hotel, when the WG had moved rooms last minute and given me the number for the previous room. Fortunately it was empty and realising her mistake, came out to retrieve me.

Knocked on the wrong door in a block of flat - bloke answered and said ‘she’s next door’ while rolling his eyes.

[Winterspirit]

Yep done this too.

Maybe 20+ years ago. Massage parlour in Leeds,it was sort of behind the old coach station on a street parallel  to Wellington Street, the parlour was in a basement and everything on the street just looked indentical to me.

Chose the wrong set of steps down and it was I think some up market dress or wedding dress shop. The tidy proprietor must have sped me coming down the steps as had no sooner reached the bottom and was having it dawn on me (this aint right!) than she was telling me that I was in the wrong place. I agreed and headed off, she was a damn sight tidier than who I ended up seeing!

I think the parlour might have been called Mayfair  and it then moved to between the Market and the Bus Station,  still had a mare finding it there!

[workinallweek]

many years ago an establishment was raided after people knocking on the wrong  door and the neighbours complained ....

Several times I have wondered about one meeting at an Apartment off the Penn Road in Wolves. I arrived on time, called her, come on in she said, so I knocked, and knocked, and knocked again, still there was no reply. A phone call confirmed that I was at the right number, but at an identical Apartment block in a group of 4. I have often wondered what might have happened if an erotically dressed young woman had answered the door. Embarrased probably or possibly arrested.

I have never buzzed the wrong door but 3 weeks ago my wife and I wanted Chinese for dinner. So I decided to call off my Samsung tablet on loud speaker. As a female answered the phone. I automatically gave my food order to the female. As I finished speaking there was a long pause then the female started talking in a eastern European accent. I thought to myself this is definitely not the Chinese takeaway... it was an escort I called 3 days ago. I hanged up and explained to my wife I dialled the wrong number.

Another good example of why a punting phone is useful.

Second punt ever and new girl gave me the wrong number , knocked the door to be greeted by her physco neighbour frightened the shit out of me.
WG told me several visits later neighbour had sussed she was on the game and was banging her for doing odd jobs around the house and garden

[holeymoley]

Done this twice myself, first time in North Leeds I had been before but streets looked so alike, I was in the wrong one, knocked on the door, when opened there stood a young lady in a dressing gown, obviously not the lady I expected. When she saw my confusion she just said I think you should be in the next street ! Looking back I still think she was a wg too. A touch surreal ?

Second time was this week - the wg clearly texted the number adding “ the brown door “  wtf the door was clearly black,  as I was hanging about agonisingly in the street on open view she must have realised and texted me the number again adding “ black door “. this time, what a relief I thought I was in the wrong street again.

Knocked on the wrong door in a block of flat - bloke answered and said ‘she’s next door’ while rolling his eyes.

One girl told me that she took an enquiry from a punter who turned out to live in the same block of flats as the one she worked in. When she told him where she worked, he cancelled the booking on the well-known -:northern - grounds of "not wishing to shit on his own midden".

[Bonker]

I've been to the wrong house /flat /block a few times as a result of bad directions. Some WGs are too stupid to give decent instructions.

One idiot bounced me around a set of flats to 'make sure I was genuine'. Which she divulged after the third set of directions.

[Plan R]

Sometimes I amaze myself at the stupid fucker I can be
but in over 30yrs of punting I can honestly say I've never knocked on the wrong bloomin door !
   

[ZeroCount]

Only ever happened to me once, when the streets met at a corner, and it wasn't clearly marked that they weren't the same street name. Best of all, there was a whole gaggle of nosy neighbors stood in next door's garden looking at me with an expression that said "who the fuck are you?" So that was fun.

But why on Earth would you leave your punting phone at home, OP? This game is difficult enough sometimes, with last minute changes of plan on either side, I just couldn't imagine even attempting to reach a punt without comms.

[Jeremy]

Are you sure this wasn't her way of saying A levels were on offer?

Because I was stupid.

Happened to me yesterday ... brain switched off. Flat 2 in house number 11, black door was the instrucion from wg.

So i arrived to find most houses had no number on ... but number 9 did. So i surmised number 11 would be next door. Walked all round the house next door and could find no black door and wg was slow answering my increasingly irate texts so rang the buzzer for flat 2 next to white door. No answer. I was getting quite pissed off ... we spoke on the phone and she came to the door and said she couldnt see me anywhere ... then my brain actually started to function properly and i realised 11 was the house on the other side of 9 ... i was at house 7!! I felt a bit foolish 

[Corus Boy]

There is/was a road in Newportthat changed its name halfway along.

Road 'A' was numbered from 1 upwards from one end towards the middle join and the other started at the opposite end at ! and move towards the middle.

End result was that the two Number 64s were about ten doors apart but on opposite sides of the road.

So I knocked on number 64, a bloke with a bullpit on a lease opened the door and immediately said, "You want number 64, across the road and ten doors down, closed the door before I could speak.

It could have been worse.

It might have been the correct house!!!!!

Once went to the well known Chinese basement flat in Swansea (prob known to CB!), where I had been before, but for some inexplicable reason I went down the steps next door. A large bloke answered who was not Chinese. Threw me a bit but said I was there to see Julie, the name I was given on the phone. He said "Who are you?" rather than no-one here of that name, which confused me further. I noticed the number, realised I was at the wrong door and beat a hasty retreat, saying sorry I got the wrong address and apologising for disturbing him.

Walked around for a few minutes, checked the coast was clear and went down the right stairs and had a good time

Just occurred to me while writing this that maybe his wife/girlfriend had the same name.

[Bogof60]

Just to prove that I can be a complete numpty although there is some mitigation to this one.

Given the postcode of a Hotel and looked on Google Maps Yey got it and off I set.
WG gives me the room number and in I go.
Knock on door and no answer.
After a few more knocks and some stares from the cleaning staff I phone her.
I am only in the wrong hotel 
There was another one in the same postcode across the road 

[unclepokey]

I had a problem with the wrong door a while ago - around ten years ago as it happens. I booked Diane of Bushey who had by then moved her place of work to a new flat in Bushey village rather than Bushey Heath . I turned up at the Bushey Heath address to behold a rather attractive woman who knew nothing of Diane.
I retreated to my car and phoned Diane. Oh f*** was her response. I forgot to tell you. I'm in such and such a building now. Fortunately I knew the area so that little time was lost.

I am now careful to confirm addresses before setting off.
UP

You're lucky it wasn't his 14 yr old autistic daughter.

 I knocked on the right door but when the girl (looked more like the girl in the pictures great grandmother) answered it was the wrong door ...." TAXI FOR DAVE " I said  and when Dave wasnt there i walked away swearing ...

[Clitheroelad]

Ive to the right number, just on the wrong street. Luckily nobody answered the door !

[philandersuk]

I've knocked on the wrong door a few times in my punting career. (phnarr pharr) 

When it's obvious a mistake has been made, I normally just say: "Hi, I'm Phil, I've come to collect the software you've got for sale" or something similar, which normalises the situation.

I had a stupid one when I was in Washington D.C visiting a girl at a hotel.

I was at an entirely wrong hotel, same floor, same door, just the correct hotel was on the complete other side of the intersection. When the door was answered by a quite elderly man was an awkward experience to say the least.

[northern1960]

Some years ago an escort knocked at my hotel room and said she was directed to that room number. Unfortunately I was with my wife

Hope you wrote a review about your experience with him.
Take it he wasn't a Positive?

I been lucky and haven't knocked at the wrong door, but I have dialed the wrong phone number.  At the time 1985, I didn't have a mobile phone, so had to use a phone box.  I got the last digit wrong, and was trying to phone one of the massage parlours, where I was a regular, but my work place at the time, kinda of had the same number, which the difference was 1 digit

So ended up phoning my work, asking for sexual favours, but luckily my work place didn't recognize my voice, they just thought someone was playing a prank  call

Next time when a fit young thing who can't possibly afford the address answers just say the landlord said there was something that needed fixing.  IF she says there isn't then say that's the second time today he's been sent to the wrong place.  Would it be ok to pop in, maybe check the smoke alarm and appliance certificates and you could charge him for it anyway.  Be a bit chatty, sound her out as an SB.   

[Corus Boy]

Not the wrong door but...

Does anyone else remember the apartment block on Cromwell Road? London, close to the Cromwell Hospital?

It used to be stocked with Asian Agency girls.

I walked along the corridor to the correct apartment, the floor carpet was being replaced so it wasn't a silent approach.

Knocked on the correct door, possibly a little too enthusiastically and about five doors opened and moments after a row of heads peaked out before quickly ducking back into their apartments with lots of giggling. 

[Zak67]

Suppose if you do see what you think is an escort then strike up a conversation, have you a FB profile, Facebook yes, ok do you have an AW profile too, could go ok but if she's on Mumsnet get the hell out

[Bonker]

I remember Cuntwell Road flats.
Lots of Russians as well as Chinese. I was pleasantly surprised once, agency girl, as good as the pics, young, blonde and very pretty.

Ahh the view, cowgirl, plaits dancing, tits jiggling, red face panting.

[Moby Dick]

The most memorable was when I was confronted by a cross between Mo Mowlam and Susan Boyle.
I think I had got her out of bed, 2 in the afternoon, came to the door in a fluffy dressing gown, with her hair a mess, and crumbs in her beard. She simply said “I don’t think your looking for me!” No shit I was expecting a hot ebony duo.
 
I walked away, down the corridor checking my texts. I had the right room number???...
I rang the hot ebonies and they then told me “I was in the wrong building. Come to the grey building with the same name on the other side of the road. Happens all the time babe”

[Avg_Joe]

I managed to get myself completely to the wrong address once....

visited the same apartment in newbury a number of times, and seen various girls from the same rotating asian group at the location, using 2 phone numbers, always the same. Never been sure if there was 2 working girls there each visit (always seems like one only) or if they just run 2 profiles for the one location.... anyway, this particular morning i was slightly blase with my booking call, and wandered off to the location (behind Mcd's) msg'd when approaching, to which see asked "outside pub?" and i'm thinking, no, the pub is on the corner, so i called.....

yeah, fuck me they'd moved, wrong location completely  fortunately only 5 mins walk away to new location, but even that wan't easy, as the door number is duplicated on 2 doors on different sides of the same building

A while ago I lived in a flat and at some point the next door flat s being used by an EE setup. I regularly had punters  buzzing up to my flat to be let in and asking if girls were available late at night. Used to piss me the hell off and woke me and my family up a few times. Even had a few come up to the door, but usually the girls would see them and call them over before they rang my doorbell as which was lucky for them. It was surprising how often it happened though, idiots!

[WASA38]

In 2016 -2017 I had visited  a local SP several times ( External Link/Members Only) , liked her and become a regular client.

However, in mid June 2017, six months after my previous meeting I arranged a new one and got the email reply:
Yes tomorrow at 11am would be wonderful to see you :-))

'I will be located at the same place :-))

Look forward to seeing you then

Sexy hugs

Megan xxxxxx :-))'

I duly turned  up at the apartment block , couldn't get a reply to my text but was able to enter the block as someone left. Bad error ! Went up to the 'same place' and, shortly after the agreed time, rang the doorbell.

A very large and very polite Jamaican gentleman opened the door ! I was totally gobsmacked and , must admit, lost for the right words . I didn't have any idea if he was her pimp but I guess from what i did say, he gathered the purpose of my visit. I am hard of hearing and he was too quietly spoken for me to fully understand what he was saying - something about her being out with the kids but due back soon. I texted Megan and got an apologetic response promising a freebie at a later date. I replied thanking her and suggesting , instead, an hour at the half hour price.

However, half an hour later I got an extremely arsey text from her saying that I was out of order going up to the room and making it clear that i was persona non gratis !

I sent a conciliatory text to her but pointing out that the situation was her fault for mis-directing me but got no reply so,of course, sought my pleasures elsewhere - and found very much better vfm.

And how many times did your family say "Daddy, why do you keep popping over to the neighbours, we have all the sugar we need?"

I've knocked on the correct number door only to find i were in the wrong block of apartments..... Lass called me and asked where I was.... Turned out I were in the wrong building 

Another time, knocking on a sometimes regular lasses door without answer... Called her... She said "I've moved, did I not tell you?" ....  back in motor, 10 minutes drive and I'm an happy camper

Luckily no bugger answered the doors.

[mancguy0161]

I've been to the wrong hotel - couldn't find the door number and after a quick call realised there were 2x hotels fromt he same chain within a 2mile radius!
Also been to the wrong apartment block - ended up at block C instead of block B. The weird part was the lady let me in and when I got to the door she opened and was quite fit - she said what do you want? Luckily I asked if she was xxx and she said no, I checked my phone and realised I was in the wrong place! that "what do you want" question could have got me in a lot of trouble!!!

Not if she was in a slinky negligee and curlers.  Oh for the days of Robin Asquith.

Only made that mistake once.

I was given the building and flat number, but there was no number on some of the entrances so I had to guess which one was the right building.

I buzzed the intercom and was let in with a word being said. Made my way to the flat and waited at the door. A young attractive but slightly bemused woman openned the door.

Right away I realised mistake, apologised, made my excuses and left. As I did so I clocked her pissed off looking boyfriend inside the flat.

Since then I have always made sure I go to the right door.
