open doors

[juicy]

I know it might sound a bit weird, but does anybody else hate it when your in a room and the door is left wide open. I don't know why it bothers me - it's just really distracting!

[woofgang]

I don't like being in my living room with the door shut! It doesn't bother me any where else though

[sammyrobo]

yeah its really annoying having the door open. Like, when I'm on the computer I always think someone is watching me through the door so I just have to close it. Or when I have my TV on upstairs i hate having the door open! Wierd isnt it really!?

[GucciGal]

Oh cripes, I'm one of those people that hate any doors being closed! can't sleep at night if my bedroom door is closed!!

[jno]

actually... since you ask... yes, it does sound a bit weird. What do you do when you're out in the open? Do you live with anyone else?

[magicdice]

it drives me mad! i think with me, it's partly to do with the fact that i'm constantly listening to music & my parents don't take too kindly to the volume level i like (and they have issues with alkaline trio at any volume, for some reason) so i shut the door behind me. also the possibility of people watching without my knowledge, as i'm quite a private person in many respects. but yes, i also prefer doors shut. it's less of an issue when there are many people in the room.

I prefer it, I feel too enclosed if the doors are shut.

I like all the interior doors in the house open during the day - bright & airy!

Having said that, I wouldn't be able to sleep with the bedroom door open (day or night). Also, if I'm dropping off to sleep & notice the doors on the wardrobe are ajar, if only a 1/4 of an inch, I have to get out of bed & turn the key to lock them. None so strange as folk!

sheesh, hate to be in a room with a bunch of ABers alternately slamming doors and opening them again... I shut doors to keep out noise, cold air and hordes of lascivious blondes as and when necessary; otherwise I just don't care.

[juicy]

jno - I do live with other people, and yes, Im fine outdoors! I think it is what other people have said, that feeling that you might be being watched - or that people are keep coming in and out. Maybe we're just all paranoid!

[juicy]

Closed, not locked though - it would really annoy me trying to get to sleep with the door open.

[Jooleebobs]

I can't sleep without the bedroom and wardrobe doors being closed. I am even resisting moving our baby son into his own room as I know I would have to leave our bedroom door open to be able to hear him.

[secretspirit]

I'm the same. I can't stand being in the living room and being able to see into the kitchen or see the bottom of the stairs. I don't know why, maybe it's an instinct to do with feeling secure and not having to watch for predators or something!

[jimtom]

We may be weird Juicy but I agree, I spend all day working outside but I don't like it if even a cupboard door is ajar. Don't mind the bedroom door open tho', but usually shut it to stop dogs out!

[flashpig]

I am not at all bothered by doors fully open or closed, but ajar I cannot stand, which would further irritate jno as the AB community wouldn't even be able to settle on a middle ground. Too many horror films maybe in my youth, with doors silently swinging open in the background...
