Did You Lock Your Front Door? | ClickHole

1. Did you remember to lock your door before leaving?

I’m pretty sure...

Well, I thought so, though now that you mention it, maybe not?

Yup, definitely.
2. You probably did. Like, you’ve left your house thousands of times and it has never happened, so it’s really unlikely.

Yes! Exactly. It’s probably fine.

Well, I guess that’s true. But maybe that means I’m due for forgetting to lock my door?

This is what I already said. No way I left it unlocked.
3. But you do have your laptop there. Maybe you should go back and double-check, just to be sure? Again, it’s probably fine even if you don’t.

It would take me at least 45 minutes to get home right now, and that’s if the bus is right there when I walk outside.

That’s a great point, but I’m too busy at work and can’t just cut out of here.

It’s not worth going back because that door is definitely locked.
4. On the other hand, isn’t it worth the peace of mind, knowing that your apartment won’t be robbed? You don’t want to spend your whole day worrying, even though you’ll almost certainly find it locked.

Ugh, I guess that’s true.

You’re absolutely right. I’ll wrap up this thing I’m working on and head back.

I already have peace of mind. I can vividly picture myself locking my door this morning.
5. But then again, you live on the fourth floor...there’s no way a thief would climb all the way up there. He’d probably rob a lower floor for a quicker getaway. Plus, the front door to your apartment building automatically locks behind you. So, it almost doesn’t matter if you forgot to lock your door, even though I’m sure you did.

Ah, yes, those are all good points. Even if I did forget to lock the door, it’s probably fine.

The risk does seem pretty small. Guess I don’t have to leave the office after all.

You know, I feel sorry for you if this is how you look at the world. I locked the damn door.
6. Although, that auto-locking front door has been not closing all the way lately. And no one really says anything when non-residents sneak in behind you after you open the door.

God, that is true. I always just assume those people are friends of residents, but who knows?

Oh man, I’ve been telling the building staff they need to fix that. Why did this have to happen today?

Do you live every day like this? Is your life ruled by these small anxieties?
7. Even though your door is almost for sure locked, maybe you can text your neighbor just to check for you?

Hmmm...I don’t know. I’m not even sure I have his number.

I don’t want him to think I am the “weird” neighbor for asking him to check.

You want me to drag another person into this? No way. The door is locked.
8. You live in a safe neighborhood. No one is going to break in even if your door was unlocked, which it’s not. You know, in Sweden, people don’t even lock their doors at all.

Precisely. I’ve never read about any crimes around where I live.

That’s so true! Plus, if you think hard enough about it, anything bad can happen at any point. I mean, how can you live your life in constant fear?

You keep saying all these reasons why the door is locked or it’s okay even if it’s not. So we agree. Let’s all just move on with our lives.
9. Your door is locked, don’t worry about it. There’s no way you forgot to lock it.

Yes. Exactly. No need to let this ruin my day.

Fuck, I can’t live like this. I’m just going to leave work and go check!

How can you live this way, letting one small uncertainty have such an impact on your entire day?
