Line 8:
The [[Drop-In Character]] does this all the time.
{{examples}}▼
▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Happens all the time in [[Kannagi]]. The protagonist stopped locking his door after Nagi got to live with him (instead of, you know, giving her spare keys), and didn't lock the door when they both were inside as well. If people are ringing the bell at all, it is just that they are polite.
Line 22:
* Subverted by Rorschach in ''Watchmen'' as it is obvious that he broke the door and then waited for the owner to come home. Rorschach then criticizes the owner for installing such a cheap, flimsy [[Meaningful Name|Gordian Knot-brand]] lock.
== [[Fan
* In one [[My-HiME]] Shizuru/Natsuki fan comic, Shizuru lets herself into Natsuki's unlocked room while she's asleep, and Natsuki finds her sitting across her table from her when she wakes up. Shizuru chides her for leaving her door unlocked, apparently from being tired from all the make-up work she's been doing, and Natsuki promises to be more careful in the future, but notes that no one out there is more "dangerous" than Shizuru.
* The [[Katawa Shoujo]] fic [http://ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=2708#p45716 From Shizune's Perspective] has an example in which the intruder is also the one who forgot to lock her door. Shizune walks into her own unlocked room to find Misha and Hisao {{spoiler|having sex with each other; Shizune had no idea that they were in a relationship at all}}.
Line 39:
* ''Little Women'': Aunt March frequently barges in, [[Hypocritical Humor|complaining about how her family doesn't lock their door.]]
== [[Live
* In [[Babylon 5]], Londo returned to his quarters to see that his door was open. G'Kar was waiting inside, wanting to purchase a certain plant for a religious ceremony.
* Virtually any American [[Sitcom]], particularly noticeable in ''[[Friends]]''. This tendency is [[Lampshaded]] in ''[[Coupling]]'' season 4.
Line 67:
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
* A ''New Yorker'' cartoon from 2002 has two agents walk into someone's house saying "We're from Homeland Security. You left your door unlocked."
== [[Real Life]] ==▼
* A while back, [[Twin Cities]] police officers had a campaign where they'd go up to houses during the night, and leave warnings if they door was unlocked. Eventually, this lead to a pair of officers not-quite-legally entering a house and waking up a homeowner to politely tell him that he is [http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2033838/posts an idiot for not locking his doors, leaving his garage open, and leaving the keys in his ignition.]▼
* [[Michael Moore]] also did this in ''[[Bowling for Columbine]]'', in Toronto, just to show off the difference between how Americans and Canadians behave in regards to home security.▼
== [[Video Games]] ==

'''Pooh''': Oh! }}
** "Your back door was open" is used several times in the animated movies & episodes.
* [[Lampshaded]] in ''[[Ben 10:
{{quote|'''Ben:''' How'd you get in here?
'''Kevin:''' [[Extra Ore Dinary|The usual way.]] By the way, you might wanna fix that hole I punched in your door.
'''Ben:''' You could have knocked!
'''Kevin:''' I sorta did. }}
