How intrusive are you when visiting another person's house, do you check their med cabinets and so forth?

I have opened the odd medicine cabinet. But I always felt guilty about it. I`m just a curious person.

Yes I have.  The weirdest thing that happened was after my husband left to go to work one morning around 5am, I heard the bedroom door open and someone walk across the floor.  I thought my husband had forgotten something and came back.  I felt someone sit on the side of the bed and I looked out from the covers expecting to see my husband, but no one was there.  I was scared.  I asked him when he came home from work if he came back in the bedroom and he said no.  When I told him what happened, he said the same thing had happened to him before.\nI have since moved and no longer feel anything in my bedroom, but I would swear something watches me as I sit in the living room in the evening.  It is always the same.  I will be in there alone watching tv or reading and I get a feeling someone is standing over by my grandfather clock watching me.  The freaky part about that is even my cat notices it.  He will either stare in that direction or leave the room, not getting anywhere near the clock.

If the spouse has done something to make you suspicious, it is okay to snoop. How else are you going to find out if something is going on or not? You certainly won't get a straight answer out of them and if they are trying to hide something, they will try to cover their tracks better because they'll think you're on to them. So when you feel suspicious, you should snoop right away - don't give them the chance to hide any evidence. You will either confirm your suspicions or realize that you were overreacting.

The best way to find out is honestly, Muster up the courage and when you see someone at home just walk up and tell them you are interested in the residence. If they want to talk to you they will. Or you can try to be sneaky and use Public data.com but you are going to run the risk of arousing suspicions by hanging around to get the information you will need.

I don't know what triggers your OCD but I have a problem with cleaning the house, I can't stand a dirty house so when I realiza I am getting obsessive over it, I grab a bottle of water and leave the house for a while. I keep telling myself that my house is not dirty and it it only the OCD talking not my common sense. I refuse to go back in the house till I drink at least half the water then, go in and refuse to do anything till the other half is gone. By then I hve found other things I can be doing and the worst is over. It is so hard at first but it gets easier.

I snoop in everything incase the person "forgot" to inform me.\n\nAnd if I found something I would say something because I need to know.

um...either people don't really do this as much as you think they do or....well, do you ever look up at people that enter a room? i do sometimes. just to see who it is, if i know them or whatever. if i don't, i turn away as quickly as i looked over. i'm not sure people give you as much thought as you think they do. you're giving people too much credit. most people are so preoccupied with themselves that they don't notice others as much as you're suggesting.

Yes, I am.  I know so cause the little red light on that fake smoke detector blinks about once a minute.  That means they're recording.  I can hear them in the apartment next door.  They think I think they are watching TV, but I know that they are watching reruns of the tapes.  People don't think I'm paranoid, because I've never told anyone before this.  What do I have to say about it?  I'm slowly drilling a small hole between my closet and their bathroom.  They can't see me do it because the camera can't see me when I'm in the closet.  For the security of the nation, I have to stay out of the closet most of the time.  But when I'm in it, I chip away just a tiny bit at a time with an ice pick.  I put the pieces in my shoe so I can sneak them out without them knowing.  But it just got really quite next door.  Do you think that they can see what I'm typing on my keyboard from the camera?  Oh, crap!  I hear their door slamming.  I need to sign off now.  If you don't hear from me again, please finish my work in the closet; Tom Cruise will help you.  He's still in there.

you've been seeing my husband??? Just kidding! Personally I think I would want to know if it were my husband. Mine is away at work alot, and because I am at home with out 3 small children and he is far enough away i can't just get up and go check on him everyday even if I wanted to. \nThere are way too many STD's floating around out there and if he's been moonlighting with you then he probably has others too, and because of my children I would like to be assured that he isn't bringing something home to me, I have this strong desire to watch them grow up for some reason:)\n Call her, don't be rude, just simply say you know her husband and she might want to ask him what he's been up to, then tell the bas@#$ to hit the road, but mention on his way out that when he gets home he will have some explaining to do!

Depends on the person. I don't even lock my front door. Most people I know don't even bother knocking - they just walk right in and say "Hi". \n\nI have friends who are completely uptight (in my view) and have to have everything planned out to the smallest detail. I don't drop in on them unannounced. It really shakes up their world for some reason.\n\nThere are no hard rules. Over generalization is the hobgoblin of this society. Remember, one size fits all, fits all equally poorly. Some people like myself would love to be surprised by an old friend. Other people would be so shocked by any alteration of their plans that they would suffer real physical anxiety over not being prepared to “entertain” guests. Whatever. Depends on who you're dropping in on and how well you know them.

I have OCD and I have a hard time leaving my house without checking everything a millon time well at least 3 I also wash my hands constantly and have a hard time in public restrooms I dont like germs and I dont like the feeling that I left someting on ie stove, coffee pot, curling iron,\nor that I might have forgot something so I walk through the house and sometime even turn around when 5 miles away cause I still think something might be on. I even have the kids walk through the house 1 a week with them germ rags so they dont get sick from germs on door handles tolet handles and so on and on if you have any of these problems you might have OCD anyway I am sure there are more but these are just the ones I have or can think of right now

I have two precious children down the hall, so you bet your butt I get up and check!  \n\nIf it's something that sounds a lot like someone breaking in, I'd grab the phone and a heavy object first, but I'd most certainly get up and go to their room right away.\n\nIf it's just creaking type noises or house "settling" sounds, I still get up because I have this maternal need to check on the girls.  Besides, I know it's most likely nothing, but any excuse to go into their room, stroke my baby's little face in her crib and kiss my older one's forehead and tell them one more time, "I love you so much," is a good excuse ;)

I guess depending on the ghost intentions were. I swear somthing is in my apt besides me and my cat, I will find things moved, doors will open, computer will be off when I didn't shut it off, one time a stand for a table was moved, when of course I didnt move it. So What i'm saying is as long as they dont want to hurt me, i'm cool with it, it would prob freak me out a bit, but why to worry?  Eh, they are just ghost...

If you feel the need to snoop around in his stuff, I think you have bigger problems.

My house is haunted. Not in a scary, eerie way, just that there is a parallel world going on here. I have actually seen a young boy in the house (not my kid!) who was floating in my daughter's room/doorway. I just happened to look that direction and he was looking right back at me. He seemed sad, or maybe he was in trouble. I looked right into his eyes. And I got this feeling that he was trying to communicate with me. My ex-husband was in the same room and didn't see or feel anything, though he thought I was nuts when my jaw dropped and I couldn't get any words out. My ex was in another part of the room and didn't see him. The ghost just faded out after a second or two, but as my brain was trying to process it, he was gone. He was a good-looking kid, shorter blond hair, brown eyes, white button-down, long-sleeved shirt, beige pants. No shoes or whatever--he looked like he was floating in the doorway. I think he didn't want my ex-husband to see him. The boy generally only makes himself known when I am alone. My present husband saw a glowing orb zooming and zig-zagging across that bedroom one night, 4 or 5 swipes, all the way across the room, over the bed where our daughters were sleeping. Needless to say, he was pretty freaked out by it. He has come to recognize the haunting as a necessary fact of living in this house. \n\nNo I am not a freak. I don't go out and look for strange things to happen. I saw this kid, I know I did. One night, I have heard footsteps come down the basement stairs and call, "Mom?" while I was doing laundry, and I yelled at my son to go back upstairs, that I already tucked him in for the night. NOBODY WAS THERE. I wasn't really paying attention to the kid coming down the stairs, just heard that familiar, "tha-dump dump" coming down the stairs and the "Mom?" It didn't really sound like my son but I was busy sorting laundry, not doing voice analysis. Anyway, I stopped sorting and went up the stairs, thinking my son was up at the top of the stairs. He wasn't. I was pretty upset as it had been a long day and the kids weren't minding and my husband was gone on a business trip. We live in an 80 year old house and the floors squeak. If my son had been out of bed, I would have heard him go up the stairs directly overhead. I called out for him and HE ANSWERED FROM HIS BED. I swear I heard somebody call me and jump down the stairs. That's when the hair stood up on the back of my neck. HE had visited me again. I sure wish I knew what he wanted.\n\nI have been advised to tell the boy to "go towards the light." I usually do this when he freaks me out. Sometimes things disappear and reappear right before my eyes. The house was built by a young couple in the late 1920s and they lived here until they died (she in 1964; he in 1974). There weren't any deaths in the house that I know of (they both died at the hospital). However, I do know their son had a serious car accident in 1965 and the wife and children were seriously injured--the one boy died. I suspect that is who I've seen. \n\nThis haunting is specific to our home. The people who lived here and played here may still be here. I think they like it here and (especially the old grandpa) are here protecting and taking care of the place. I like sharing the house with them, and I've told them so. The stove one time turned on by itself overnight. I let them know that is NOT acceptable. Sometimes in the morning on the weekends we smell food like pancakes, bacon, sausage. Just in the morning before we get up. Strange. That's okay--it smells good. They can make breakfast--just as long as they don't turn on the appliances again!

I do too. It annoys the hell out of me. What I usually do when I'm walking with someone I know who does that is that I tell him/her in a nice way that I'm not comfortable with it so he/she won't do it again whenever we're together or even when he/she is alone. And if someone whom I don't know does that, I would just give them the kind of look that says "what you're doing grosses me", I'm not sure if it works... hopefully it does... Ü

no, any more than they should have the right to listen in on my phone conversations, sift through my trash, or stand outside my window at night with a cup up against my wall.\n\nit's privacy, and it's reasonable to expect it while you're in the comfort of your own home.  any invasions of my privacy are not explained to my satisfaction by someone's excuse that they are doing it to 'protect me'.  i feel i have a right to be free from 'unreasonable searches and seizures', and monitoring my online communication IS unreasonable, in my book.
