    It’s silly but it’s true. Especially if you’ve got a package, a ladder, etc. Nobody’s going to hassle a dude carrying a ladder because he’s clearly Doing Something Important.

    When it’s a regular old apartment building you don’t even need that. You can just wait until someone walks in and just follow them through. Happens all the time. Which is why I make sure to always pull security doors closed behind me. I’d rather not be the cause of a break-in or worse.

      Even if you know someone usually belongs there, it can still be dangerous. Example, at a place I used to work someone got fired for stalking. A few days later they came into the workplace and someone else held the door open for them. Luckily the person they were trying to stalk wasn’t there. Idk how that would have turned out if they were 😳
