At my house in a safe neighborhood on thanksgiving. Random man walks in with his two dogs. Chaos ensues. Luckily he was supposed to go to my neighbors and we knew him, but could’ve ended so badly. Lock your doors people

Literally my roommate never locks it and it makes me feel so unsafe. Like I get you’re going to work and it’s daytime but I’m sleeping because I work the night shift so could you maybe perhaps lock the door so I’m not vulnerable?

There are multiple instances of serial killers who just go around looking for unlocked doors and taking the fact that the door is unlocked as an invitation to come in. And they specifically target “safe” neighborhoods because of dumbass people like that

2 of my roommates literally leave the door wide open. like please you live 2 women this is not okay

As young women I DONT FEEL SAFE W OUT THE DOOR LOCKED.

Hey me and my roommate had our dorm room broken into because we didn’t lock the doors so please lock doors.

20

Literally. My roommates lock it, cause we asked them to. It’s basic decency

My roommate freshman year always left the door unlocked when she left for class, which was fine bc I was home but the problem is she never brought her keys and wouldn’t tell me knowing I lock the door if no one’s home Then when she’s getting back from class and finds the door locked she’d call me throwing a fit and tell me I need to come and unlock it… no ma’am I’m in class and this is on you either wait or go through our suitemates dorm

17

People think nothing can happen to them then when it does its woe is me 🤣👍🏻

14

Honestly, higher, a friend they don’t know about to go in there room make a big mess throw all their clothes around and then just have them be sitting and eating some food

13

Our roommate lost his keys the second week after moving in, mind you at that point I had lived there for 3 years so when I say people will try to open the door to take stuff I’m not trying it as a scare tactic I have heard the handle being tried, he asked us to stop locking it so he didn’t have to text to ask and would knock on my window as late as 3 am after he got drunk at the bar to be let in and I opened it to tell him to find another place to sleep that night

5

Literally neither of my roommates lock the door and then they come home late and angry banging on the door cause I locked it when I got home

2

Idk why I keep getting stuck rooming with people who hate to lock the door like girl there’s been COUNTLESS car robberies on campus because people leave them unlocked, the fuck you think they’re gonna do with an unlocked apartment door??

Never locked my door never got my shit took

If there not used to thinking about grabbing keys and locking doors it takes an adjustment to doing it. So if there at least trying to bring keys and locking doors then you should also compromise and let them in if they forget them

-2

It’s fine to compromise but you also have to be patient. You can’t expect someone who doesn’t lock doors to automatically start locking for them. It’s hard to start doing something that you never done before. I would lock the door if I remembered.

I never locked my door. I grew up never locking doors or carrying keys so I never had them.
