“Why would I lock my door?” Why would someone be that naive and dumb..:.

[@NightEyeStudio1995]

Some people live in areas were almost nothing happens so they grow up with this sense that bad things only happens in big cities. They don't lock their cars because they have never had to worry about car theft or attackers so they have a hard time understanding people who do. The whole "You worry too much" is mostly because they're never have to worry about it themselves.

[@ReaperKezia]

I take it you've never been to rural Oregon?

[@barkbark5265]

Reaper Kezia Do they leave doors and homes unlocked there?

[@ReaperKezia]

@@barkbark5265 Nah not really man, especially not back in the early 90's. Most rural towns in Oregon still have zero cell service, especially the coastal towns. Most people own firearms and conceal carry to make up for the lack of law enforcement... Still kinda wild west out there.

[@annagross2428]

@@NightEyeStudio1995 where I grew up we never locked our doors. Now I live in Utah and I just had my locked car broken into a few weeks ago. I have heard of storied where people don't lock their car doors but they don't leave any valuables and it's better to leave the doors unlocked so thieves don't break your windows and stuff trying to get in. Btw they just jimmyed open my door so my car didn't look broken into. I really didn't notice till a little bit later that someone had even broken in till I saw a few things different in my back seat and the knife my dad gave me was gone from my glove compartment.

I thought the story about the girl in Czechoslovakia being stalked by that Evo dude was scary. 😱Glad she's okay. Thanks Let's Read! 👍

[@Mia_Mina]

You know I understand there used to be a society we lived in where locking doors and such was not really necessary because people were mostly honest and looked after each other. However, today's society is not that idyllic. Truthfully, it never really was. People just believed it was. No one believed criminals were as prevalent as they really were and are. Some people still live like this due to their "Rose-colored Glasses". I wish we did have that world, but it is a dream that never existed. I was told at my first job with NASA that I didn't have to lock my car doors at work because we were on a military base and MPs and NASA Security came by three times an hour. I still locked my doors. Ironically, it was while working that job my wallet was stolen for the first and only time. Great stories with wonderful lessons for all of us. Thanks Let's Read! For choosing these stories and to their writers for sharing them through you with us. Be Safe all in these times of quarantine and illness.

[@Celestial_Kumiho]

I live in the country surrounded by woods and I still lock all my doors. People are crazy and you never know when someone might try to get in. I keep my car doors locked when I’m driving and even if I’m just running into the gas station to grab a drink I still lock my car doors. My parents always told me to check my backseat and to never park beside a van in parking lots because it would be easy to be pulled inside.

[@SNixon14]

The story of the 13 year old girl talking to the 35 year old man was gross, no adult at that age should be talking to a child or teenager that way on the internet or in person, so disgusting. He should have known better and she really should have told her parents. I have a feeling that he did act on his desires with another minor.

[@LadyyLuv]

Oh he knew! He knew what he was doing was disgusting. I'm just worried that she still wanted to talk to him.

[@jonistrand6702]

Sad that she felt she was so lonely and isolated that she befriended a 35 year old man

[@idontwanttothink]

Pisses me off when people dont lock their house or car doors, your basically asking to be killed

[@SUICIDE_GEHAD]

Lmfao Not locking your doors is basically the equivalent of "asking to be killed"? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[@failegion7828]

It's certainly not deterring anyone. Through if someone wanted you dead, they'd likely be able to achieve it. However if someone is checking to find their next potential victim of whatever crime they want to commit... making it easy for someone certainly isnt the wisest choice.

[@melodiechartier5173]

SuicideGehad G'59FTP yes it is??? why letting your doors unlock ON PURPOSE, it's pretty stupid and naive and almost like making it easy for people to get in, not everyone is nice and have good intentions... so yes it's pretty much asking for trouble... i don't see what's so funny about that, maybe you are mentally challenge so it's ok...you can go take your pills now!!!

[@failegion7828]

@@melodiechartier5173 Through the other guy is... a bit eh. I believe the point of his post was its not the victims fault but the villan's. Again it is extremely unwise to leave your door unlocked. But on the otherhand it isnt really an invitation to murder either and depending on where you live, chances could be incredible low anyone would find out. But for the most part allowing yourself to be a soft target doesnt deter.

[@SuperLilred13]

Killed? No. Robbed maybe. plus if you live on a tiny island like I do (20 people) there's no real reason to lock your doors when you know everyone

[@headfirst_for_sweet_revenge_]

The first story shows why you should keep your car doors locked 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@marief43]

killjoy • I was stopped at a stop sign waiting to make a right turn when this transient in curlers came up to my car yelling at me to let her in. Then she started pulling on my car doors. This was before auto lock engaged in cars .i was lucky I had locked my doors prior to leaving. What a whacko.

[@headfirst_for_sweet_revenge_]

Marie F I don’t doubt you. It’s a lot of weird people in this world with ill intentions. Good thing your doors were locked!

[@shainitagomez7664]

Uhhh .. yeah .. that’s the entire point ? Lol

[@LadyyLuv]

Story 5: this has happened to me as well. One of my more street savvy friends explained that it was probably a guy looking for some fun. They also said: Don't stand on corners. If that happens shake your head no. If they still creep on you call non emergency and tell them you fear for your well being.

[@Mr2Thumbs]

@Sandra Gross Ghosts aren't real.

[@Mr2Thumbs]

@Sandra Gross First of all, you can't use a 2000 year old book of fairy tales as "evidence." Secondly, you make a lot of claims here, none of which have any evidence or basis in fact. "Humans are made up of energy." What does this even mean? Do you even know what energy is? It's "energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object. Energy is a conserved quantity; the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed." It's physically impossible for a person, or anything at all, to be "made of energy." Energy isn't some nebulous material things are made from.

Stacy Thomas Times are hard. I’d blame the economy before I blamed the kid - in high school most of us had late night jobs all the way across the city. Bad part of town, nobody could afford anything.

[@Rose-fz4yt]

As a teen I never really had a curfew but with that being said I was never into any trouble and also knew where to and not to go in my home town and as an adult I worked with someone who was still in high school and our shifts were from 4pm-1am until of course they changed to earlier hours so its not necessarily rare for some but not all high schoolers to work that late although it seems they should work earlier hours considering they do have school.

[@stacythomas7162]

@@Rose-fz4yt EXACTLY. It was drilled into me when I was driving home late at night to stick to the main routes that are heavily traveled and well lit. I'm still surprised this young person was out at work so late. In my state, child employment laws are very strict and enforced. I was a waitress at 17 and my boss made damn sure I was on my way home b4 11pm.

Nobody who writes these creepy stories on reddit or wherever seem to know the proper usage of the word "mortified." They must think it's like mortally terrified or something.. Google knows.

[@saint_spine2551]

I know this comment is 4 years old but I gotta contribute. The word has two meanings from what I understand (not a native english speaker). One meaning of the word mortified is like embarrassed, ashamed and humiliated. The other meaning of the word mortified is like when an open wound id closed then you say the wound was mortified. If i’m wrong please blame the good ol’ dictionary. (Literally opened a book for this)
