Rules of locking the front door:

Doors have locks on them for a reason, to keep unwanted intruders out.  We use them to keep our valuables, and our lives, safe. So please, follow these simple rules for locking the door:

1) If you are the last person leaving the house, lock the door behind you.  No one is there should an intruder decide to test the door out

2) If you leave much earlier than anyone else is awake, lock the door. Because honestly, I don't want to wake up and find some homeless dude on my couch.

2a) If the only person left in the house is in the shower, lock the door. The last thing we need is a visitor while we are trying to get ready for the day.

2b)  If you leave after lights have been turned off and everyone has gone to bed, lock the door behind you.  Again, I don't want any strangers waking me up. Ew.

3) Do not use your roommates keys to lock the door and then take them with you.  They cannot leave the house without them. 

3a) Do not use your roommate's keys to lock the door and then LEAVE THEM IN THE LOCK.  Uhhh, what is the point in locking the door and then leaving the key in it? That's inviting someone to come in. Or steal a car.

4) If you have decided it is safe to leave without locking the door, then please pull the door shut behind you.  Cause if I walk down there one more time to find the door open cause you are to ignorant to use your brain, Imma slap some sense into you.

That is all.  Is it really that hard?  Is it really too much of me to ask you to use your brain? 

Maybe so. Maybe I should print up this list and post it.
