Alright as the title indicates: did anyone else live in a household where the only room that had a lock was the bathroom?

I recall spending a lot of High Value Time in the bathroom just for the sake of privacy. Long showers. Makeup, hair, etc - all for show. It was an excuse to just not be perceived for the shortest little precious time, and you had to space it out lest it interfered with the other family members. Now as an adult, I still love private bathroom time - I'll play music, watch a show while I shower, and tune out any random responsibilities that may appear.

And just to be clear, I don't have kids or a demanding home life in any way. I could do this in any of the rooms on the same floor - all are generally unoccupied, but nothing brings the same safety and joy as just hanging out in the locked bathroom.
