I never did. I just closed it and that was signal enough in my house. Then my brother's friend came over and accidentally walked in, so I've started locking it.

I always did

that doesn't mean it's normal though

None of us lock the door unless we have guests. Most of the time we don't bother closing it completely. Hey, at least it's obvious that it's occupied when you see that the lights are on.

Well it's not abnormal. Some people do, some people don't. Depends on the family probably. I lock mine and always have.

In my family we always did unless we were taking a shower. 'Cause you can hear a shower and if, say, you fell in the shower and need help it would be best that others are not locked out.

I am the opposite. I lock during a shower, but never any other time. I'm not entirely sure why I do that, now that I think about it, lol. But our lock is just an old fashioned hook-and-eye latch, so if someone needed to bust in, they could simply stick a magazine in the crack and flip the latch up.

My family always do because we have those flimsy plastic doors that swing open if you so much as leave a window open in the adjacent room. I didn't when we lived in Ireland and had a more solid door, though. We used to just knock on that and if you didn't answer, it was your fault.

I don't even close the door completely.. although that's less about being indifferent to being seen and more about the fact that the bathroom door has a tendency to stick and I'm not able to reliably force it.

The toilet is close enough to the door that if someone starts to open it I can stick out an arm and prevent them. Meanwhile, someone being able to hear me pee or catch a glimpse of the unoccupied end of the bathroom is nowhere near as embarrassing getting trapped inside and having to yell for help.

Sure. Sometimes people don't take a closed door as meaning occupied. I'd rather have the door locked and someone try to open it than having a strange walk in on me with my pants down

I don't because knowing my house, it would get stuck and I'd be locked in.

I do and had to growing up. My mom and sister had no shame or personal boundaries. They had no problem bouncing in when I was using the bathroom or the shower to ask me a question or even have a chat. Nothing like having your sister sticking her head in the shower to ask you what did you think of her new shoes. I hated that. So, I started to lock the door and out of habit, I still do.

I don't have locks on my bathroom doors, all the doors in my house are bi-fold doors. Fortunately I live alone now, and when I do have visitors we all just tell each other when one of the bathrooms is going to be occupied.

Upstairs I have to go through my closet to get to the half bath. I have a hook and eye latch kept "locked" with twist ties on my closet door upstairs to keep the cats out when I'm not in there.

I never did with my family, but I got in the habit while I had roommates and kept doing it when at home.

Now my bathroom door doesn't even have a lock but I live alone so who cares *shrug*

I do if we have guests.

I lock it if there is non-family in the house, because I don't know their cues.

I grew up with 5 younger siblings. Unless you wanted an unexpected visitor you locked the door, and by now it's an ironclad habit.

Damn. I hardly ever closed the door, and I can't recall ever locking it. It's pretty much a given in our house that if the door is shut then someone's in there and you should knock first (if someone's unaccounted for)

I do. Not everyone in my family does though... Which is kinda handy when my brother is taking forfuckingever in the shower on weekday mornings and i just need to steal the toothpaste for five minutes. :P

I never lived in a place with a working lock on the bathroom door, except my college dorm. We never locked the bathroom door when I was growing up. If the door was closed, you assumed someone was in there and knocked to be sure. Now, I live alone and I don't even shut the door because why would I?

I would consider walking into a bathroom in someone else's home when the door is closed without knocking first to be very rude/dangerous.

My house? No. Other people's houses? All the time, especially if they have large families and/or kids. The closed door isn't an indicator in my house, because we have cats with a vendetta against the toilet paper so the door has to be closed all the time, but we're all pretty good about either knocking or just knowing where everyone is since there's only three of us.

When I was growing up, yes, but I had several siblings and someone usually had friends over. Now, living on my own, no, not unless I start thinking about Psycho or other horror things.

Grew up in a family of 8- if I could DOUBLE lock it, I'd double lock it.

Except one time, it was so weird- I walked in, sat down and when I looked over, I realized I'd left the DOOR OPEN. I wasn't even home alone.

We don't have a lock, so if it's closed it's in use

I do. I even do it when I'm home alone - but we have a lock that works a lot like those in a public toilet - you just need to turn a switch to the side and the door is locked. So it's basically a thing I do automatically.

I started locking the door as well because of my bother's friends. We have a glass shower and I neither want to be watched in the shower, nor do I want to watch someone else using the toilet while I'm taking a shower).

In case of emergency (slipping in the shower) the door could probably be openend easily enough with a coing because the lock has a small slit on the other side.

We just shut the door or at least it's closed to such a point that you can't see the person using the toilet.

If I'm at someone else's house or we have guests, we close and lock it.
