<p>Does anyone else know people who enter YOUR room without knocking? My roommate's friends seem to think it's their room or it's fine that they enter without knocking. It's really frustrating but thank god school is ending.</p>
<p>You can’t do that at my school because our doors lock automatically when they close. At my fiance’s school this was very normal for the freshman year but less so in later years. People knock now. Maybe it’s just because they know I’m there now. >.< He moved to an upperclassmen dorm where that didn’t happen before I got used to the practice, it seems very strange to me even if you don’t have roommates. What if the person is changing? o.O</p>
<p>I hope you said something, my fiance always had singles. I would not have been pleased if my roommate’s friends came in without knocking.</p>
<p>If the door is open that’s fine, if it’s closed just lock it when you’re, ahem, busy</p>
<p>What I’ve been having more problems with is my roommate refusing to lock the door in the first place. It’s so frustrating. I’ll come back to the room, no one’s there, she’s not in the hallway, so when I leave, I lock the door (if my laptop, cell phone, etc., get stolen, I’m screwed, because my family can’t afford new ones). I’ve locked her out a couple of times while she’s been in the shower. I don’t get what’s so difficult about locking the door and taking a key with you whenever you leave, but she’s gotten into the bad habit lately of leaving the door unlocked. If any of my stuff gets stolen, she’s paying to replace it…</p>
<p>^Definitely confront her about that. That would really suck if you DID get your stuff stolen because most likely it could be difficult to retrieve any of your stuff back, especially if it was stolen by a visitor and not a student at your school.</p>
<p>Hide your laptop in a drawer or under the mattress. But definitely tell her to carry her key at all time and to LOCK the door all the time, even if she’s just going to the bathroom for 5 minutes.</p>
<p>It’s not like they are walking in on me or opening the door when I’m changing. it’s just the fact that it’s disrespectful if you know what I mean… I’m sure they wouldn’t like it if I did the same thing. Just respect the golden rule imho</p>
<p>Well the problem with that perspective is that you’re assuming what you said is true. Which it may easily not be. I personally don’t care if someone doesn’t knock on my door before opening it or entering. If you have an issue you should confront the person about it, but until then understand that your perspectives of what’s inconsiderate are not shared by all those around you.</p>
