Bathroom Doors - To Close or Not to Close

[yvr girl]

Another thread got me wondering - Am I the only one who never closes the bathroom door. I live alone, I see no need to close it. What about everyone else?

1. I always close them

But I've been told I sometimes leave the door wide open when I've been drinking.

2. Your bathroom has a door?

3. I close it.

There are some things I always want to do in private. If I just have to pee and it's a partner or a kid under 5 (my own obviously), I'm not uptight, but anyone else or anything beyond that, I LIKE MY SPACE!!!

4. Closed, fan on, with a periodical.

I have a very strict bathroom ritual.

5. I close it but

if it doesn't shut all of the way, one of the three cats will nudge it open and come to keep me company....they love to watch the flush!

11. Me, too!

I live alone, so I don't have to close it, but I get furbabies coming in begging for something.

12. mine hits it and makes it

slam against the wall. She REALLY hates to be left out. Leave the door open and she could care less.

18. Cats are so funny.

6. I live alone

if someone else is around I'll close the door, but that always pisses the cats off. They like to be able to see me at all times.

7. depends

The upstairs bathroom no, usually leave it open.
downstairs bathroom door opens to our front room with a nice view of our porch and front door, that is usually closed

8. I close the door if someone else is home

other than me and my wife

9. Well, I live by myself.

But I still usually close the door. Is that weird?

10. If I don't close the door...

...the cat comes in and stares at me.

[eoberhauser]

13. I never close the door

Unless there is company over - and even then I'm irritated to have to do it!

[J-Lo Biafra]

15. Closed.

[GOPisEvil]

16. If there's no company, I leave it open.

If company's around, it's closed.

17. I close it if anyone is around

One place I lived, you could barely close the door and sit down. We usually left that door open since the br was in our bedroom. Annoyed me the entire time we lived there which was almost 8 years.

Changing the subject slightly...When I was 18, I went to Alaska to spend a few months with my sister. We went to visit friends of her boyfriends who had homesteaded in a rural area. The couple had six boys...some my age. I went to use the bathroom and there was no door. My sister or my girlfriend had to stand in the hallway to make sure noone walked by. They built the house themselves and had never gotten around to installing the door. It was the only bathroom and I've always felt sorry for the mother in that family. Some things should be private from your sons.

19. I close if someone is around
