If you're home alone or live alone, do you close the door when you use the washroom?

I remember talking to friends about this years ago that when I'm home alone I don't close the bathroom door. Whats the point? My friends seemed mixed on this subject.

Now that I live alone, I only close it when I'm using the shower and keep the heat in lol. What about you folk?

    In my downstairs, the toilet is directly in front of the door. The door is directly in front of the window many of my neighbors walk in front of when they walk their dogs. So even if I am home alone, yes that door is always shut. I usually shut the door when I am upstairs, just out of habit. But I have kept it open, esp if it is an urgent situation.

    Always shut. If I'm home alone, it's only opened when I shower

    I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old, I rarely am alone in the bathroom, or in any room of the house.

    I only close the door if we have guests or I am wanting to hide from my Husband and 1yr old! Then they both tend to migrate to the door and bang or scratch until I come out.

    I shut the door even when I'm alone, but I think it's more out of habit than anything else...

    ^^ THIS! Only mine are a little older, but still. Even if they don't follow me in the bathroom, I don't dare close the door for fear someone will burn the house down. LOL

    The only time my door is shut is when I'm doing #2 (if someone's home), if I'm showering and if my fiance's son's home. Otherwise it's always open.

    I close it all the time. Just a habit at this stage!

    I actually forgot fairly recently, and there was a moment of shock when I realised what I'd done. Until I realised I was completely alone. Now, it's about 50/50. Habit thing.

    I never close the door at home and occaisonally leave it open at work, but I'm almost always alone in the office.

    As far as I know, no woman has ever gone #2

    I keep the door closed due to the fact that my cat enjoys nesting in my pants/shorts at my ankles when I sit or batting at my stream if I stand.

    If I'm home alone, definitely open. Otherwise the cats are banging the door and yowling.

    This is exactly what I believe, and I do not want to be told anything else. I have been married for over 6 years, and my wife assures me that she has never ever went #2.

    Depends who is in the house “LOL” if we have company yeah sure I shut the door but if it is just family we don’t always shut it the bathrooms are way upstairs or way in the basement. I always shut it when taking a bath or shower to keep the warmth in but I never lock the door while in there just in case something happens.
