Killer Bathrooms?!

Just walked in on DH having a poo in the bathroom...again!

I told him to lock the door. He said "No, I never lock the door" I said "yes I know"

Further conversation revealed he believes bathrooms are very dangerous and you could "slip, fall or have an aneurysm" while locked in the bathroom.

I said I could definitely kick the door down if I needed too, he is very paranoid about bathrooms and the chance of something happening is vanishingly small.

I asked if he locks the door at work, he said he does.

I think it's grim, I don't want to walk in on someone having a poo, I always lock the door.

So AIBU?

YABU - you will probably die if you lock the door
YANBU - Lock the door it's fine

If the door is closed why would you just walk in? I don't lock the door at home but I do close it otherwise it's just left open to signify it's not in use.

@Ilovemyshed Same here! No worries, no locked doors, normal bodily functions.

YABU. Why would you be bothered so much by a normal body function. Quite happy to go to the loo in front of OH and vice versa.

Bleugh.

We can open the locks from the outside, with a teaspoon. If you can (or if you can change to ones that do that) it might provide reassurance that you can save him should he do an Elvis.

That is a very good compromise. Thank You. Currently it is just an old fashioned key.
