AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A gunman opened fire Monday in a Target store parking lot in the Texas capital, killing at least three people, then stole two cars during a getaway that ended with police using a Taser to detain him on the other side of the city, authorities said.

          And now you sound like my wife.

          “Why not” is always the question for when someone doesn’t do something because of laziness.

          Because its annoying and im lazy about it. I have to take the fan down and mess with our janky blinds. It’s a second story window and we have no kids or pets.

          Why do I need to lock it? For kids we’re never going to have? Kids of my guests I’m never going to let into my locked office behind my monitors? For the possible robber that’s going to break in via a second story window in the back of our home that needs a ladder to get to when there are several easier access points?

          Sometimes I don’t lock it. I often do. But she makes me double check my office window before sleep or leaving. That’s time wasted on sheer paranoia. I’d rather take those odds over wasting 5 minutes several times a week.

            Hahaha, fair enough, it’s just a good habit to be in, the pros generally outweigh the cons so just try to make it a habit is all

              I agree. But I just don’t want to get out of bed and go upstairs to ensure the window is locked. I lock it 90% of the time…

              Its usually just unlocked if I’m multitasking in the middle of the day
