knock at the door and then wait.

It is a basic courtesy to knock before entering no matter WHAT the relations may be. I have learned to lock my doors because I have had acquaintances with people who would just walk in my front door and it drove me mad. The last straw was when my first was about 5 mos old. Not only was I breastfeeding at the time but I was in the shower with the bathroom door open so I could listen for the baby when my husband’s brothers friend just sailed in the front door like he owned the place or like he was welcome to do so. (NOT)

GRRRRRRRR!!!

I now have locks, deadbolts and chains for my doors, locks for windows and answering machine for inconvenient phone calls. I have to tell you here that the idiot brother’s friend was not put off by all this…he actually walked around our house looking in windows, tried both front and back door. Creepy.

I know one couple - newlyweds - who had a similar problem. They decided to get the point across in a rather shocking way. They kept a lookout for the perpetrator/invadors who didnt feel the need to knock. When they saw the people arrive in the parking lot and begin to walk to their apartment, they quickly got almost naked and simulated having wild sex in their living room which is the first thing you see when you walk in the door. A brash way of getting the point across for sure…but it surely worked!!

so who was it that learned the most from this?..
