Happend to me a few times at the beginning, now I got more used to it actually. Although I still sometimes mistake the buttons and turning the lights on and off instead of opening the storage.
I’ve gotten used to the house storage button mainly because I rarely used the wardrobe in new leaf and kept most things in my secret storage. But I still find myself running to the north of the map when I go to open my gates!
Oddly enough, I haven't. Probably because as a Computer I.T. person, I'm more drawn to shortcuts, it's easy for me to enter the house and immediately press the storage button the the remote.
I do it almost every time I go into my house. My boyfriend makes fun of me every single time since this is his first Animal Crossing game and immediately got used to the storage.
I still run into resident services on occasion to sell things. Oops.
haha, i probably would have had this issue for sure if i had gotten a wardrobe right away, but i just got one a day or so ago, so i built in the muscle memory for the storage already xD
