Especially after I was dropped off at my home by a friend's mother when I was a kid, who had took me to a public swimming pool with them, and I realized the doors were locked and my parents weren't home. I just waited on the porch for about an hour, so it wasn't really a big deal. But my annoyance over their apparent miscommunication, and the friend's mother quickly leaving after letting me out of the car, taught me to always wait until the person actually gets inside their residence.
