Weird. Never considered this, but at my parents house I lock the door no matter what. At my house I've never even considered locking the door despite that it seems like it should be weirder if my roommate walked in...
But then the lock doesn't actually work, so maybe that's why I've never given it thought.
Moot point I guess.

Nope. Pooing in the absolute comfort of being the only person consistently in the apartment is nice. Though, I'll close the door, as a courtesy.

As a rule, no.
However, my stepmother has an annoying habit of keeping bathroom doors closed even when vacant so at their place I lock up. I figure if the woman can't stand the sight of a toilet then walking in on me & my feces would probably give her a stroke.

I don't even close it half the time. I push it mostly shut but if my cats hear the door latch they'll scratch and meow the entire time.
I grew up with cats & this is exactly what I used to do.
Besides, while it's true an open door leaves you vulnerable to teleported murderers I feel it's balanced out by providing an unobstructed escape route in case the sewer mutants attack while you're on the throne.

Never lock :p
If the door is open, means it's vacant, if the door is closed then that means occupied

I lock it to prevent my little cousins from intruding, and to prevent my troll-dad from messing with me when I'm trying to shower. His last gag was to dump an enormous bucket of ice-cold water on me from over the top of the curtain.

Don't particularly want my dad walking in on me accidentally while I'm using the toilet ... we always lock the door in our house.

If I'm round at my boyfriend's though he has his own flat so it's just the two of us and he'll know I'm in there. Then I just close the door and don't usually bother locking it.

I do. Hell even when I'm taking a shower or something I lock the door. My family just likes to bust into places and when I'm doing my business or showering I like to have my privacy. Usually some of my best ideas for writings and songs come in the bathroom and if I'm worried about someone coming in, or they actually do come in, I lose my train of thought.

Also, my dad doesn't give a fuck. My bathroom is a lot closer to the front of the house than my parents' bathroom and my dad has such a one track mind that he'll just walk in without thinking about it.

No, my toilet doesn't have a door or a lock. My toilet does have a lid that I could put a lock on, but then what would I be trying to keep in, poo? If your poo is trying to leave your toilet are you sure you haven't had a unexpected baby by mistake? If it is a baby DO NOT FLUSH IT as it is far to late in the pregnancy to abort. On the other hand if it is your poo that's trying to escape the toilet and not a baby by all means flush it, and buy a lock to put on the lid in case it decides to come back....maybe two locks.

Nope, we have a system where if the door is closed you knock on it, if someone responds from inside, it's occupied and you have to wait. That's how we do it.

Well, yeah, stops people strolling into the bathroom. They don't need to see me on the loo, and I'm not exactly thrilled by the prospect either.

If noone is home, then why bother?

If there are people home, about a 50/50 chance.

I lock it. I don't want people walking in on me, and I simply like my privacy.
