How common is it for hotels to mix up rooms?

Just reading another thread about a lone woman in a hotel room being walked in on.

I've had the same experience three times. Twice I was away with work and the hotel gave the wrong key to someone so they walked in on me. The third time I was travelling alone and we both happened to get to the room at the same time to try to get in.

For various reasons I didn't do anything about any of those times.

I now travel with a door wedge but I do worry about getting out (or someone getting in) in an emergency.

(ETA- by wrong key obviously I mean they set the key card with the wrong room number or whatever it is that they do).

I should have complained about all of the times.

The first time I was young and new to the company and didn't want to make a fuss (daft I know!).

The second time, they woke me up from a very deep sleep so I wasn't completely sure that I hadn't dreamed it until someone said something a few weeks later by which time it was too late.

The third time I was in a huge rush and the receptionist was a bit incompetent and I never followed it up (I had an absolutely horrendous train journey back so I concentrated on kicking up a fuss about that).

I know a lot of people who stay in a lot of hotels and only once have heard of anything like this happening, when a friend was given a room that had someone else's stuff in it. The person themselves wasn't there.
