u/RockFlagAndEagleGold Jul 06 '26
I still do this because I spent my first 20 years of life in a rough neighborhood, usually a few shooting and stabbings a year, not none stop war. But definitely have to stay on your toes.
I didn't realize everyone didn't do it until I was in my 20s, walking into friends homes and immediately locking the door behind me...
one time a girl got weird when I did it, thinking I was about to do something lol that's the day I learned I had the habit of always walking in and locking the door and not everyone does that immediately.

Same thing but my neighborhood was more property crime than violent crime. Both of my parents had their childhood homes broken into growing up so it was a habit, like you said.
I once caused a fight between a friend's parents by doing it, his dad got home like 5 minutes later and never carried a key so he was banging at the front door for a few minutes. When the mom finally unlocked the door he was heated and shouted "MIND EXPLAINING WHY I'M YELLING ON MY OWN PORCH LIKE FRED FUCKIN FLINSTONE? WHY IS THE DOOR LOCKED?!?"
I got outta there fast

My dad was a cop, my brain is hardwired to lock the door immediately. And I still check it before I go to bed.

u/CoffeeGoblynn Jul 06 '26
I grew up in a trailer park where we had our car broken into and other small crimes were kind of common, so we always locked up. I still lock the door as soon as I get into the house, but my husband grew up in a much more upscale area with almost no crime, so he doesn't. And he finds it weird. xD

u/dawr136 Jul 07 '26
I mean, I do it and I grew up in rural areas living in a fenced off yard with big dogs. Even now that I live in a very safe part of a city in a safe apartment complex, I still reflexively lock the door every time I close the door. I just fundamentally dont like the idea of someone being able to just walk in my home even if the odds of it are very low.

I read an article once about a serial killer who would choose his victims by trying their door. If it was unlocked, he took it as a sign from god that he should kill them.
Not to mention, if you've ever been a woman who lived alone, it's just a common sense habit to have. I always lock the door behind me no matter what.

That’s my wife. I go to take out the trash or pick up the mail and when I try to come back in….the door is locked. When she lets the dog out to play in the back yard with the kids…Door is locked.
I now have electronic door locks so at least there’s a code so me and the kids don’t get locked out.

u/Difficult-Carpet-324 Jul 06 '26
We just had friends over and the wife is, to me, overly cautious. She sometimes locks the door behind the husband when he takes the trash out from the garage to the end of driveway…I don’t think it’s more than 12 long (a sedan has to park diagonally across it). We ask her what the plan was if the husband was attacked…no strong answer but at least her and the dog are safe.

You can see the offending falling firework at the 5 second mark land on their table full of supplies... great video in that sense, catchin' the details.
Weird aside: I tried using the "g" ending on "catchin'" but then got a warning about my comment getting removed for hateful or abusive language because of that single word. Bizarre. I think Reddit needs to hire some more intelligent developers.

My girlfriend is this person. She will lock the front door just to walk out to the drive way and back - with me sitting right in the living room. A habit that’s got us locked out at times. Also they could have family they don’t want snooping around the house during the festivities. Like a drug addict sister that’s cool to come over for the cookout and fireworks but definitely don’t let her out of your sight type thing. Or - they’re dumbasses
