Slightly random one, but we've moved house recently and now have a little porch at the front (ie small room with front door to outside and another internal front door - think a porch in US is slightly different).
We don't always lock the outer door during the day (although it's shut) and we've had a few drliveries and repair guys etc with being in a new place, and everyone seems to ring the bell (on outside of the building) and then let themselves into the porch. I know it's unlocked but to me it still feels like they're coming into my house univited.
It's a totally trivial point really and I know the answer is lock the outer door all the time. I just think it's odd as I wouldn't let myself in to someone else's porch - unless I knew the person as family/friend and it was raining or something.
Anyone else get this?
