Hiding from the neighbors

I was locking my front door when I realize that one of my neighbors was coming my way. I wanted to avoid him because I had just heard him fighting with his girlfriend, and I thought it would be awkward. I didn't have time to unlock the door, however, so I squeezed into the space between the main door and the screen door, latching the screen door behind me and waiting until my neighbor passed. 

Note: this dream took place in a fictional apartment building with fictional neighbors.
