Way beyond rude. But because of my PTSD I am probably not typical. I was telling my therapist once how paranoid I felt and I fear I am at risk of violence. My therapist told me I am not paranoid, that what I feared was real world danger that many people do not think about. There have been times when I was battered and thought my death was imminent. I have had two different neighbors tell me they thought about raping me. My house has been robbed three times in twenty years but fortunately I was never home during the robberies. I live on a secluded eighty acre farm and wary of people I do not know and some that I do know.

I do not even like it when friends or family stop by without calling first. I would be mighty upset if somebody I knew or a stranger walked into my house. If I heard somebody in my home I would be fearful for my safety. I am not the "shoot first and ask questions later" type but anybody walking in on me would probably pee their pants when confronted with Yoda with a weapon yelling, "Freeze!"

When I was in the hospital my son was living alone at home and he had latched the latch on our front door. My sister came by and unlocked the door but could not open it because of the latch and then started berating my son for daring to latch the door. Typical of her attitude. Rather than asking for the key back we simply changed the lock. Wait until she figures that out!

I always ask if I can a drink, etc unless I am spending the night and everybody is asleep.

I wouldn't do it.
