@chrystaltree How do you lock the doors to the bedrooms in your house?  None of our lock from the outside.  

Haven't had any reason to hold someone hostage recently, so haven't had the locksmith over. . .

My wonderful DIL brought her Mom to "see how we live"..DS warned me she was real nosey.

My DIL was so embarrased by the time her mom left..

I taped a large Jingle bell inside my medicine cabinet door..I would have loved to see her face when she heard the bell hitting the metal door when she opened  the door!

I hooked a cow bell on the inside of a bedroom closet..same noisey effect!

I never said a word.

Guess she won't be back..I hope.

My Sister used to do that to keep her kids out of the pantry and the extra cookies.

@Jo1313  I love it! What a perfect solution, for such a rude person.

@Jo1313   @Biftu 

Years ago a friend decided to deal with a nosy friend who didn't think twice about opening any cabinet, drawer or medicine chest.    At the next get together, she filled the two bathroom medicine chests with a huge amount of glass marbles ... and when they opened the cabinet, the sound could be heard by everyone even somewhat nearby ... like a massive hail storm, LOL.   

People shouldn't have to do that .... but some people sure have a lot of nerve!

You mean none of your guests @Biftu went inside to the powder room? Without proof with a camera, I would reserve judgement. Someone key scratched my friend's car. She claimed only one person could have done it. Footage from a neighbor's camera proved otherwise.😳

@Trinity11   I didn't know people still used the term "powder room".  LOL

I do agree, though, that anyone could have been the snoop.

@Cakers3 

It is a weird name .... but everyone knows what you mean when you say it!   lol

What's the proper term now?  Half bath?  But you don't take a 'bath' in there.....sooo.....

Anyhow, I remember going to my dad's sister's house (she was much younger than my dad and so cool).  They were all having cocktails downstairs and was told I could go up on her bed and watch TV.  Well, back then there were only a handful of channels to watch and I couldn't find anything. 

So I went in to her bathroom and got into her makeup.  Had eyeshadow on, I think I used lipstick for blush, a dark brow pencil on my blonde brows and frosted lipstick. 

I'd fallen asleep and when they came up to get me, they said I looked like a clown.

---

I used the term @Lucky Charm @Cakers3  "powder room" because the terminology means a "guest bathroom" separate from the private bathroom of the home owners. Usually located on the main floor...

---

@Trinity11   Yes we know what the term means.  It's just not heard today, as in "I have to go and powder my nose".

Just a light LOL for the day.

Oy.

---

I highly doubt @Cakers3 based on your replies on this board if I had said the same to you, you would have not claimed I was nit-picking.🙄

Oy and have a nice day! 😄

---

@Trinity11   As I said, it was said as a light LOL for the day.

Nit-picking is your perception, VE.

As far as my replies around here, you do have a choice.

I should have known better to make light of the phrase "powder room".

Oh, for shame.

Ive had snooping guests also.

I've had MANY guests, who even boldly ask me for items they see in my home!

,, or, obviously "hint"  .."wow.. I can use that!"

As if my home is some kind of free, "Country Store" to shop in.

(NEVER had I experienced this boldness, ...   except in the last 20 yrs. Never in my childhood)

Anyway, I think for snooping guests, I would indulge my "imp-ish-ness" and "booby-trap" most likely places they're "snoop."

I might, just barely, place a tipped, noisy "glass," empty bottle in the Medicine Cabinet, leaning against the Medicine Cabinet door, so that if someone were to open it, it would fall into the sink, and make a loud noise.

Or "booby trap" with some "Spencer Gifts" type trigger, "loud alarm" .. Place it, somehow, on your bureau drawers, or jewelry box, so a LOUD SIREN goes off when opened. 

...   Or even discreetly tape the drawers closed, where you cant see the tape.

Given my "sometimes mood," esp with this kind of "flagrant rudeness," 

. . .    ..  (if I care)..  I would figure,, ... "Two can play this game."

But perhaps be prepared for such a "rude offender," to perhaps blame you, for their own "noisy" indiscretion,...   just in case.

Or, alternatively,  install door locks, & lock, shut the doors of rooms you dont want ppl to go into, when you have company...

Good luck!

No doubt she was the only 10 yr. old child there.  No one noticed, she was just looking around out of boredom.  Granted, she shouldn't snoop, but too bad no one brought along something to keep her occupied, with nothing but all adults around.
