Possibly a Craig's List Missed Opportunity?

I am thinking of submitting this. Thoughts?
Knock, knock. Who’s there? This must be a joke. Unfortunately it was not. I blinked my eyes open, struggling to focus in on the time. 1:50AM. My mind playfully threw out the thought, “who would be knocking at this hour?” Another series of knocking, this time more insistent, drew me out of my futility.
I shuffled down the hall and peered through the looking glass. Nothing. Ahh those rapscallions. Remind me to sabotage your Halloween candy. I started to walk away and yet more knocking. As I returned, I heard a female voice, yet no one standing outside. A ghost? Here is my chance to finally appear on Ghost Adventures. Borderline pounding on my door finally spurred me to open my door.
As I opened the door, you tried to force your way in. I steeled myself, barring entrance.
“Hello” seemed reasonable. You pushed again.
“Excuse me, I don’t know you!” Ahh finally some semblance of comprehension.
I saw a mixture of confusion and Grain Belt Premium beer sweep across your face as you looked up at me slowly…then to my apartment door number…then some undetermined point in space…back to my face…back to the door…pause…pause…then to your phone.
You spun awkwardly around, mumbling some sort of apology and disappeared.
Missed opportunity? Perhaps. Hopefully you made it to your late night booty call or at least landed somewhere safe. I recommend double checking that texted address next time.
Maybe a cautionary missed opportunity…the missed opportunity of the wonders that await the next time you try and force your way into a complete stranger’s residence.

ROFLMAO. I hate to say it, but you could have been a random victim of somebody like my boyfriend! My boyfriend has on multiple occasions decided to contact people on craigslist ads and send them to random locations including but not limited to friends houses, closed bookstores, gas stations and even food carts. He finds it hilarious, usually it doesn't quite end up bothering random people like you, but somebody could have just pulled a random address from down the street!0
