about those safety door latches on hotel doors

You know, those things that are supposed to catch the door from being opened.  My normal hotel was booked, so I was staying at a Best Western I have not used before.  I was laying on the bed completely immersed in a book.  Still dressed, thank heavens.  There was a sound at the door, then the door opened and the latch caught it from coming open into the room.  I shrieked, and the door hastily closed.  In a bit I peeked out the curtain to see a man looking back at me.  Poor guys were probably (almost) as freaked out as I was.  Stupid clerk gave them room keys to 236, since she recorded that I was in 238.  Well, I wasn't in 238, was I?  Hrumph.
