When you are home alone...

and taking a shower or blow drying your hair, do you ever think you hear sounds like a door opening or a bang? Chat Icon

I swear, this happens to me all the time and then I stand in the shower having all these horrible thoughts of an intruder walking around in my apt Chat Icon

I did until I started putting my alarm on as soon as I go in the shower. I was so paranoid that someone would come in and take Andrew when I am in the shower.

I feel the same way.... I much prefer to shower when Dh is home, but obv. that can't happen all the time. Luckily,when I "hear a noise" and my Boogie doesn't bark, I realize I am nutso, because he would bark is someone were there!

I always think I hear something if I'm home alone and in the shower. I always bring the phone into the bathroom, just in case! I'm paranoid!

I have 2 HUGE dogs and if my DH is away or something I think they get nervous. They bark at random times throughout the night and I MUST get up and look outside, check the locks etc. One night one of them looked up at the ceiing and started growling. There was no way I could go back to sleep without going up there so I took my butcher knife and went upstairs and opened every closet door and the shower curtain. NO one was there.

Re: When you are home alone...

I totally know what you mean! I actually have an abnormal fear of being home alone and I will only shower if no one is home in rare circumstances. I won't sleep in my apartment alone!

Re: When you are home alone...

Yes, it happens to me all the time! I have to stop what I'm doing and listen for a minute. It freaks me out. And we have our landlord downstairs so I know I'm just being paranoid.

Totally - I'm always stopping the hair dryer to listen or peeking out the shower curtain and trying to identify the closest weapon to me, just in case!
