Sup NT,
For the past 10 years I've lived with different roomates, some friends, some randoms, and have never had any drama until now. Looking for your opinion on this situation.
Living situation: 3 dudes late 20's living in a 3 bedroom apartment. The layout is my room and the garage is on the first floor, the second floor is the living room and kitchen, and the third floor is the two other bedrooms. I live on the first floor, and my two other roomates live on the third floor.
One roomate insists on leaving the door unlocked because he believes there is no risk of us getting robbed. He believes if he is home, then he should not have to lock the door because there is no risk (his room is on the third floor, my room is on the first). We live in a nice area of town, and you need a badge to get into the complex, but we live in a "party centric" area where a lot of people will be coming over from all over.
Some things to note:
1) I'm the only typical NTer in the house. Typical NT'er meaning the materialistic, 3 pairs of the same shoe in different colors, expensive clothes, expensive watches, NT'er. The other two are just your average dudes when it comes to those kinds of things.
2) As I said, I am the only one on the first floor, my bedroom is about 30 feet away from the front door. To get to their rooms, you have to walk up two sets of stairs and the living room to get to the third floor.
3) The one roomate who is insisting of leaving the door unlocked is immature for his age and has somewhat of a napoleon complex. He has a need to always feel important and have his way, just for his ego. He's one of the types who is talented at complaining to customer service. There is absolutely no inconvenience for him locking the door, it's just the principle that he believes "there is no safety issue and no need to lock the door."
At this point I got into a heated debate with him about it and I know that, knowing his personality, he will be stubborn and refuse to lock the door for his ego. I'm going to continue to lock the door but at this point I have no assurance he will lock it. What should I do at this point? Steal all his **** one day to teach him a lesson?
