Locked and loaded
I still can't believe how weird some people can be but going through the survey results it seems some flatmates are obsessive about locks....
One of the strangest tales comes from Becky in Greater London who writes "I lived with three people. One only ate brocolli and strawberry yoghurt (together). She locked herself in her room and spoke to no one. The other girl used to take things from my room - like my TV and video and lock herself in her room and fly into a mega rage if I dared ask for it back. Actually she flew into a rage if you did anything, said anything to her or touched anything of hers (including the outside of her kitchen cupboard). The bloke just stood outside smoking all the time and only ever eat pizza. He never really spoke to any of unless he was very drunk." What a house of weirdos...
Zoe, also from Greater London, writes her friend once "discovered that her flatmate who always padlocked his room was carrying out a fraudulent business on the sly in his bedroom. After he disappeared one day, the police came round!"
There must be something in the water in Greater London cause Lala has a similar story about someone she once lived with. "He was very weird and used to lock his room every time he went out of it, even to get a glass of water in the kitchen."
I wonder what he was hiding in there? Ever had a flatmate who locks themselves away? What were they trying to conceal? Leave a comment and I'll publish the best responses!

I had a roomie who never locked her bedroom door during the day or when she was gone, but was obsessed with having it locked at night. Was she afraid we were going to get her while she was sleeping? It confused me. Oddly enough, she didn't lock it when taking naps during the day, instead she left the door wide open. Weird!

Well after reading all these other strange stories about snooping, stealing, etc. I'd want to lock my door in a shared place as well!
