TikToker’s Crucial Safety Tip for Women Who Live Alone: Why YOU SHOULDN’T TURN ON YOUR LIGHTS When You Get Home

A video posted by TikToker @heyitsmaryalice has gone viral, racking up over 23 million views. In it, she shares a shocking safety tip aimed at women who live alone and head home at night. The video serves as an important warning, and we’d love to hear your thoughts after watching it.

The advice turned out to be simple yet priceless.

Mary Alice, known on TikTok as @heyitsmaryalice, has shared a video cautioning women who live alone about a potential safety risk. In the video, she advises women to refrain from turning on their lights immediately after entering their apartments in the evening. The post has gained significant attention and reminds women to be vigilant about their safety.

“If someone’s following you home, they’re gonna know what apartment you live in,” she explains. Mary Alice then shares a personal story about how she decided to keep her lights off after entering her apartment.

In her video, Mary Alice shares a personal experience where a stranger approached her as she exited her car to return home to her apartment building. The man attempted to engage her in conversation about a headlight that was out on her vehicle.

After entering her apartment, Mary Alice chose not to turn on the lights. She watched on her Ring camera as the man waited on the street outside her apartment complex for around 5 minutes. Her experience reminds women to be cautious and vigilant about their surroundings for their safety.

Mary Alice explains that by not turning on the lights, the stranger only knew which car was hers and where she lived, but not her specific apartment. She also shared that the only light she had on was her bathroom light, which did not have windows. The video has received positive responses from viewers who thanked her for sharing the tip, as it is not something many women may consider in their daily routine.

Women began to thank Mary Alice and share their advice: “This is why I always leave my living room light on.”, “Amazing advice, that I guarantee so many don’t think about.... I didn’t until you said something! Thank you!”, “Get timers for your lamps and radios. You can make it look like you don’t live alone.”, “When my wife lived alone she kept the tv on and a cardboard cut out on the couch.”

Here’s another video that exploded on TikTok. A female doctor explained the proper way to wipe after using the toilet.
