Have you ever stumbled upon a new way to do something that made the task much easier or just made the journey on life's road a bit less bumpy? Most of us know the easy fixes, like using hydrogen peroxide for blood stains, etc. What about the more uncommon fixes? The ones that, when you realize them, make you go 'Why didn't I think of this before?'
I'll start. One issue that plagues people who are cohabiting or married is the issue of the toilet seat. Guys don't want to bother putting it down and expect the woman to check before sitting. Women never want the seat up in the first place and expect the man to put it down when he's done. How about a compromise? Let's face the fact no toilet is ever particularly clean. Sure, if you give it a good scrub it may stay clean for a little while, but after its first use it's pretty much soiled. How about after using the toilet you always put the
lid down? Not only does it cover up a dirty porcelain fixture, but it just looks more asthetically pleasing. I mean, let's face it, a toilet bowl is a pretty ugly thing. Put the lid down and it's just another place to sit. Besides the fact it keeps the family mutt from drinking out of it.
I have used this method to help keep the peace with two women I have lived with since I thought of it and it has worked great. No one complains about having sat down on the cold porcelain because the seat was left up and the bathroom just looks better.
