how do people sneak out of their house??? I could be going to pee in the middle of the night and my mom will be like what tf you doing
I have always wondered this.
I grew up in an apartment building with a doorman, so first off, that’s another problem to work around. But more specifically, the door to that apartment is metal and heavy, and so help me, the sound of the locks and the door handle echo through the entire place. No one is sneaking out without waking up half the house.
It really really helps if you live in a big creaky house and it’s summer and the doors are open, only the rickety screen doors closed against the night breezes, and you know where the floorboards creak, and you perhaps thought before you went to bed to make sure that the one with a loud latch was left slightly ajar, and you left your shoes outside on the porch, and you know that if you leave the fan on in your room the hum will be loud enough and you’ll be on the other side of it from your sleeping parents and No Sense Of Humor big sister.
I’ve no fucking clue how people who live near other people do it.
(I also don’t know how I’d ever get farther than I could walk, because a car comes down within half a mile and both Mom and Dad are discussing it the next morning. “Who could that have been? Do you think the neighbors are having an affair? Maybe someone was lost.” Dead end dirt road problems.)
