Dear Eric: This is probably an odd question. A very large percentage of the time, more than 50 percent, when I come home from being out (lunch/shopping/whatever), my husband is in the restroom. The powder room is right next to his office and sometimes I’ve tried to open the door, and it’s locked, which seems odd since he’s the only one in the house. I guess it could be a coincidence, but it just seems odd. Is this something to worry about?

– Too Much Rest Room

Dear Room: Nope.

If you’re concerned that increased bathroom usage indicates a health problem, you can ask him. But chances are he just likes to use the restroom while the house is empty.

As to the lock, again you can ask. But if you’re already going around trying to open closed bathroom doors, it makes sense that he’d turn the latch for privacy.
