Come home and found a bf or an ex bf unannounced waiting for you outside your door to declare true love?

This happens all the times in films and books- usually in a romantic leading couple meant to be together/ had some sort of argument or broken up/its over or she thinks its over/out of the blue she comes home and there he is all puppy dog eyes/ they make up/fade into happy ever after sunset.

Often her front door is a flat or apartment - probably so he doesn't look too weird camping on a door step in the rain -and it is never explained how he gets in the building (tailgaiting probably).

I am 100% sure this has never happened to a woman in the history of the universe and it is made up film crap.

Am I right?

Yes, this happened to me when I was 19!

Ex boyfriend turned up at my parents house to declare his undying love. Obviously the girl that he'd left me for had realised what a dickhead he was and he'd decided to come crawling back to his second choice. I shut the door in his face. One of my finest moments, I think.
