Good evening all.
Well as you can sort of tell I like to keep my windows and doors open as much as possible. I have just had someone walk in to my home thinking he was visiting a female friend. As soon as he saw me, he was like 'ee I am so sorry mate' and two doors down was like 'I live here'.. I dunno whether to laugh or cry.. I have only had that happen to me once before 14 years ago and the dude back then almost died as I was sitting on the staircase and the front door is right in front of the stair case.
Like a few months ago, I had an old woman come right up to my door look at my sign that says 'do not knock if you are X, Y or Z' About turned walked out of my garden then decided to circle my car before doing it to another house down the street. That occasion was 9pm at night when it was still light at 10pm..
Crazy, crazy folk I tell ya haha
How beautiful would that be to live on a tiny island.. in a hammock with a harmonica that I couldn't play haha
I think I could live on a tiny island thousands of miles from the nearest person and I would still keep the front door closed. I certainly did when I lived in a quiet cul-de-sac.
Well where I live is a nice neighbourhood. Quiet little street. You do not get any passers by after 6-8pm usually. So it is strange when someone comes in through the night time. Oh yeah you have delivery drivers and taxi's on weekends taking drunks in and out of town.. But other than that you don't hear or see anyone who doesn't live around here.
I have been leaving my door open for years now and it has become second nature to me. Obviously when it is the coldest part of Winter or Autumn the doors stay shut tight.. But yeah I wouldn't do it if I lived in a busy or built up area. I think I landed a good place here. Nice neighbours, and everyone knows one another. I just like to keep a private life mostly.
I walked into someones lounge once and asked for a (veggie) burger.
To be fair to myself, they had previously been a burger bar, but nevertheless I did actually walk into an unlocked front door and into their house.
Then by your definition the world is my locked room..
Aw bless you.
I don't like locked rooms they creep me out and I always feel like I'm trapped.
When I lived in the YMCA shelter I used to be harangued by youths all the time, it was a worse-feeling to know that they knew that I was their Learning-Assistant for NEET, it was a very-depressing and traumatic time for me.
Once, though this happened several-times during earlier hours, I had the staff unlock the door without knocking or planning and enter my room at 11.45pm, I was in disbelief and have never fully-trusted a locked-door again.. I felt utterly-rightless and vulnerable.. so I know how you feel..
