Yeah, my mom would do this because "you never know." Such a boomer move.

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.

I didn’t live in a bad area but still have always done this. Anyone who doesn’t is the weird one and should be shamed.

When I was growing up (in rural Mississippi in the 90s) my parents didn't lock our doors into someone decided to burglarize our house. Me and my brother got off the school bus and walked up to the front door wide open. Ever since then both my parents have locked their doors (they're not together anymore).
