O.K. girls.Do the men in your house leave the toilet seat up?I watch 2 little girls sometimes and I hate when I here "clunk" when they go in there.The thought of their hands touching the toilet seat drives me nuts.I always preach to them to wash their hands after going.But suppose they forget? Or did you ever get up in the middle of the night and go to sit down? It is very cold and nasty.Don't get me wrong I do clean often but "YUC!".What seems to bother you the most that people do?

I have so many! Most of mine are some things already mentioned like when you work your butt off all day at home and in a few hours it looks the same as it did before you even cleaned it or worse because someone can't pick up after themselves. Also like you mentioned, the toilet seat. I have taught my little boy who's 4 now to always put the toilet seat down and he will even put the toilet lid down sometimes before he flushes because he sees me do it. I've always told him it's just not polite for his sisters to have to accidentally sit on the part where he just went pee pee. So, I've got him trained, now gotta work on the big boy, his daddy! Not really, but wish! :)

I am one that also loathes that toilet seat beling left in the upward position. It is a constant battle in our house to keep it down. I have 3 pointers in the house and it isn't fun!
Another that I get hot and bothered over is the phone cords being tangled. I have to untangle them before I use them.

Yes,the phone cords.Especially when you are typing on Mylot and they won't reach because they are tangled.

I hate this also.There is a hamper in the halway and instead of lifting it and putting the clothes in the hamper they get thrown on top of it.

i am so glad that he doesnt do that toilet seat thing. whew! BUT he does other little things that drive me nuts. he will sit here and make sure to shut down our crappy computer (which takes about 3 minutes to watch to make sure it shuts completely off), BUT he will not take the 10 seconds it takes to shut off the tv, or shut off the lights when he leaves the house. he openes the cabinets to find something to snack on, or to get a glass, and ALWAYS leaves the doors wide open. this makes me craaaaazy!! what i purposely do, when i have had enough, is i open ALL of the cabinet doors and leave them open for him. i also open all of his dresser drawers and leave them open for him to bump into. LOL. he gets the hint and starts to close things behind him. unfortunitly, this only lasts for about 2 days and then hes back to leaving everything open again.

That is way to funny!Maybe I should glue the toilet seat down for a few days.Just the rim part! LOL! Never mind this will probably be more of a mess for me to clean up.
