Bathroom Door question

This weekend was alone in the house. My better half was gone to her sisters. So After a day I realized that I was closing the door to the bathroom, when no one was there and no one was coming to the house. So...would you have left the door open or would you have closed it behind you??

I don’t close it anymore. The dogs are always interested in what I’m doing, if I close the door they sit outside and whine.

If the door is closed and not latched, the Border Collie will burst in to see what is going on.

I don't close it most of the time but do for a sit down job.

I never close it when home alone. The open door keeps the paint from peeling when I'm laying pipe.

Looong ago I lived in a house for awhile that had an unfinished basement with no interior walls. It did have a fully functional bathroom. Actually, just the appliances typically found in bathrooms.

Strangest feeling doing everything one does in a bathroom in a wide-open room with no walls.

Niece had a house with a bath that was 20 foot on a side. And to make it worse the tub/sink/toilet/door were each in their own corner which made the room seem a lot larger and emptier. Every thing you did echoed, echoed, echoed.

Didn't help that the house was in the back of and attached to a funeral home.

When home alone, don't bother to close the bathroom door. But still turn the vent fan on for self preservation.

Don't care about the door unless there are people about.

Lock the door even when alone, that way I dont risk accidentally forgetting to when people are about.

If there are people about, they can shut it. You know, just out of courtesy.
