I get itI live alone, so lights are rarely used. People find it strange that I come home at night with no outside light and walk into a dark house, going through the living room without turning a light on until I’m in the kitchen.
To me, it’s kind of a mental exercise.
No one’s ever called me that before but…There is nothing like a big dog laying on top of me.
*pants*
I stopped locking my doors decades ago, for a slightly different reason—I learned that locking them had been thwarting tipsy women who wanted to crash in my bed. That's decidedly less likely now, but I choose to believe it's not entirely impossible.@Dirt_in_the_Ground raises an interesting point
Who here locks their doors?
I don't. And we have five doors to the exterior of our place (not including the garage).
I mean, we lock the place up if we're going to be home for any period of time but otherwise the doors are unlocked. We have fantastic neighbors who will check in on unfamiliar visitors and I have to remember to text them if I'm expecting people to enter the house when I'm not home. My poor plumber was both horrified and impressed the first time he visited. Three different neighbors came to chat to him to ensure he was legit
In this case the dog is sleeping in his own bed!No one’s ever called me that before but…
As needed or like once a month?
You lost me
I'm sure sheets would exist. Laying on a plain mattress? Ugh, awful
Shorts, t-shirt. I tried nude for a while but the sleep wasn't much better
I don't think so. Is it good?
No. Anyone who answers yes here needs reported immediately
When I had a dog, he slept on the bed, but I didn't like it. He always curled up against the back of my legs
Negative
Box underneath
They're mine!
Always shower at night
shoes then socks, who keeps one shoe on?
Closed. I do stuff in there that the neighbors shan't see
My neighbors aren't hot enough to hope for the possibility of a peeper
I keep a sword and bat
Out
They're slightly askew. I toss and turn a few times throughout the night
Not if it’s new, but if it’s learned a thing or two it can be quite good.
Got it from Toledo, Spain. It's serrated, with a gold handle. I thought it looked badass. It's not sharpened though, so it's not quite the home defense mechanism that I wish it was.
Alright, fine. I'll come fuck your pillowNot if it’s new, but if it’s learned a thing or two it can be quite good.
Can I watch?
Might as well livestream it, I guess
No. @Apisto42 is working on it, isn't he?
Every couple weeks or so.
Yes, yes, yes, and I am fine with it.
Either boxers or nothing.
One time I walked in on my girlfriend grinding on my pillow. She startled, and was going to stop, but I told her to keep going and sat beside the bed, watching her. After a few minutes, I climbed onto the bed, took the other pillow, and started to fuck it. We were face to face, almost but not quite touching. The only sound was us breathing and moaning until we both came at almost the same time.
If the room is too cold to sleep, which is very rare for me, I have a pair of hand-knitted sox from my sister-in-law's grandmother that I will wear.
I have the Pooh bear that I carried with me when I was adopted as a baby on the other side of my bed. Just in case.
No. I do usually have a pile of clean clothes on the other side, though. It is sort of decorative.
I have a bin under my bed. I don't currently have a night stand.
I did. And so did she. And that is why we got divorced.
Depends. Some days I shower when I get up, some days midday, and others before I go to sleep. It depends on a lot of factors. And whether I want to shower more than once, which I am fine with as well.
I am not a psychopath.
Closed, except when it is hot and I don't want to run my AC. I will have the window open and a fan going to draw in cool air.
I have a small window on the far side of my bedroom. I don't really pay that much attention if the blinds are up or not. If someone peeks in, well, they get what they get.
See above, re: massive pile of clean clothes.
Pooh bear? I own firearms, but they are locked away. There is a sword and a boken in the corner.
Out.
Depends a lot on whether I dream or not. I can wake up in the same position I went to sleep in (rarely), or in something that looks Iike my bed exploded.
I use 4 pillows myself and it’s heaven. What’s the difference between a pillow and a cushion?
I imagine them on the fridge and your favorite framed somewhereThanks to some wonderful lady. I had lots of dicks to color
Dust ruffles will never be allowed in my house. I have a strict non ugly or offensive to the eyes policy
I don’t mind a dark house, but I’m not comfortable with a dark front porch or side entrance. Something about fumbling with keys in the dark makes me feel unsafe. So I have dusk to dawn lights that automatically turn on in those two places as well as the garage door/alley. Motion lights in my back yard. I also think it deters any nefarious intent if an area is well lit or a light pops on.I live alone, so lights are rarely used.

Don't they always?
Say more
That's my fault, I was thinking 'glazed' over. Usually that's just more of a trickle down effect thoughSay more

Inside I’m a light turner offer and door locker. Hit or miss on remembering to turn on the security system. I’m most likely to use the camera to see if my groceries arrived or if a package was delivered. I also move cameras for random reasons. Like last week when I wanted to know what animals were digging in my garden or making tunnels by my side stairs
Ummm. How has no one remarked on this answer?
Whoa.
That’s what I like about it.
Under most circumstances, sure.Whoa.
And all this time I've been thinking of you as such a restrained character!
I lock doors like I'm a Final Girl!
I love this!I've also just added camping lanterns to the girl's rooms so they can navigate in the dark if needed. They're at the age now where they are learning emergency preparedness
I am now eyeing you all kinds of suspiciously.Under most circumstances, sure.
Uh, my house is locked up like Fort Knox & cameras are everywhere even though I live in a very low crime area.@Dirt_in_the_Ground raises an interesting point
