Locking Bathroom Doors

[braex27]

I notice that I lock bathroom and lavatory doors when I am in there, even though I now live on my own and I know that there is no risk of anyone barging in.

Question: Do you you lock bathroom/lavatory doors when you're in there even though you live alone, or know that your partner/roommate/housemate/family are out and there is no chance of them returning any time soon?

If I am peeing then no.
If I am pooping then yes.

I lock it because once my dog ran in when I was sat on the toilet and I had to try push her away with my foot

I lock the door when I am having a bath too or the dog comes and licks me when I get out.

I always locked the door when I lived with roommates, but mainly because they were the annoying ones that would sneak in and take pictures of people and use 'em for blackmail (more like you have to take out the trash or I'll put this pic up on facebook type, nothing too illegal).

Now that I live alone, I don't ever lock the door, even when I have company over. However, I always close the door, even when I am alone. I've done this since I was a young child and it's stuck with me. What happens in the restroom is private

My boyfriend and I don't ever lock the door, half the time we're in the bathroom together any way.

I lock the door. Even if I'm home alone, I cannot let the door open. I feel that someone might just gab me from behind and drag me away! lol.

Yeah, I too always lock the door, regardless of who's around.

The only exception is if I'm seated and can reach the door with my feet. Seeing as I'm pretty tall, I just kick the door shut if need be.

I hate being closed off in a room. The door stays open when I'm home alone.

I remember to shut the door. I usually don't bother, though.

I've never locked it. Why go to the trouble? If someone really wants in, that little button isn't going to keep them out.

I only lock if we have guests. I know my hubby would never walk in on me so no need to lock if it's just the two of us at home, but if anyone else is round, then absolutely.

Never. I don't even close the door. Even when my partner was alive we never closed the door, let alone locking it. In 33 yrs we've seen each other in every conceivable situation, whats the point? When visiting friends I have to remember to close the door, never lock it.

I sleep in the Master Bedroom, the bathroom is inside my room, hence I never even shut the door.

I live alone and never even close the door.
If friends are over the only time I close it is
if it is mixed company or I am seated.
Never lock it.

At home, we close it but don't lock it. Closing it means "privacy please".

I never lock the bathroom door. The bedroom door, yes. I don't want someone attacking me while I'm asleep.

No, my cat cries too much, she wants to supervise everything

Who just barges through an unlocked door anyway? If I had to lock the door to keep my guy out of the room when it is time for privacy, he wouldn't be my guy.

It is locked if relatives bring little kids over who are old enough to be curious about a closed door but young enough not to fully understand manners.

Growing up with 4 siblings, I always locked the door. Most of the time, one or another would be knocking before I was done anyways.

Now, I just shut the door. You open the door. . .you open it at your own risk!

Out of habit, yes. Even when I am alone.
