Odd Habit


Everyone has strange habits right? The ones people laugh at, and make fun of, or tell you that you’re being paranoid. 

I have one too. It’s more of a silly fear, rather. You see, when I’m sitting in the car and there is traffic, I have to lock the doors. Why? Because I’m scared that someone will open the door and get in, or that they will carjack me. 

I reckon it is the result of too many drama/criminal TV shows where the bad guy gets in the backseat with a gun. In any case, I am not taking any chances.

Much to my chagrin, the other day my sister and her friend left me alone in the backseat of the car and left the doors open. Please don't ask how I spent those 15 minutes alone ready to strike when a person came in close proximity to the car. To make matters worse, it was night time.

Sounds like I am being irrational right? I figure that it's better to be safe than sorry.
