And I’ll fuckin check again.
Just replace car with anything that can be closed…
…and could lead to something bad if left open.
Exactly this. I repeatedly check if I turned the oven off after cooking and will continue to check at least three more times before I leave the house. And maybe even go back in the house to check one final time.
Same, I would actually like to somehow « cure » this behavior.
Pretty sure this is a symptom of OCD
Pretty sure you haven’t locked your car. Go check it
What I found helpful was saying out loud “I locked the car” while doing it.
I do something similar to this for many things. My go to thing is saying “CHECK” once I lock my doors to the house or close the gate, turning off a light in another room (although smart lights helped me immensely with this). A verbal or another audio cue, since most cars will beep if locked, is extremely helpful for me.
You just reminded me I need to lock my car. Ah well, I’m already in bed, I’ll try to remember tomorrow
I live in a rural area and don’t keep valuables in my car so mine stays unlocked at home. That plus I’d rather someone open my door, prowl through and find nothing then have a broke window because if they wanna steal my car it’s a 1989 so it’s easy af to start with no key so and they want it it’s gonna be gone whether they open the door or bust the window.
Happens all the time for me, except replace car with house
Proceeds to spam the lock button
I just end up smashing the lock button a few times until my horn goes off. That way I know it was locked.

This happens to me every time. Luckily my new car has an app where it shows whether the doors are locked or not.
You better check to see if the app is correct though.
Taking photo of your car keys so you can check that you locked car anytime.
Heh.
And once that’s resolved: is the handbrake on properly?
