Joy of Love, Day 05: Love to Hate

With a subject like "Love to Hate", how could I choose just one target? I chose one for each of my loved ones, including myself out of guilt for raking the others over the coals.

First, THE MEN-FOLK:

I chose toilet for so many reasons. My first pet peeve is when my hubby finishes in the restroom, he drops the toilet seat down with a *SLAM*. So, so loud. I know I should thank my lucky stars that he puts the seat down at all, but does he have to slam it? Now the boy does the same thing when he uses the oval office. Nice.
The boy definitely lacks in the aim department. Really, really bad aim. (Note to self: replace mesh trash basket beside toilet in powder room.)

The boy often forgets to flush. I'll spare you the photo for this.

Second, THE GIRL:

Room cleaning is not her forte. She's a huge clutter bug. I need to help her clean so she doesn't just move stuff around, but at this point it would probably be much faster to just clean it myself! Add that she likes to play dolls in the closet, and there's pretty much nowhere sacred. This is her closet after her idea of cleaning. (The dolls you see are swinging...not by the neck, but it does look a little creepy!)

Third, THE DOGS:

I already covered rock-chasing on Day 3, so that leaves me with wet footprints today! Ugh, anyone with a pet can relate.

Finally, ME!

I think if my hubby were to choose one of his biggest pet peeves, it would be my habit of leaving stuff on the stairs. I leave things that must go up on the steps because I'm way too lazy to climb them repeatedly! I hear about this occasionally when he falls over something waaay too large for the space. Oops.

You need the toilet seat that shuts down slowly, automatically when you push it. We have it and love it!

We have 2 in our house since I am completely outnumbered....so convenient! Just need one in the half bath downstairs! We got ours at Lowe's I believe...though I found one at BBB - and I m guessing you can use a coupon!! Here's the link:

The seat that Amy mentioned do really exist....my in laws have them and when they were here to visit forgot and dropped ours and well you know how that sounds. I am laughing about the things on the stairs.....I am the same way and sometimes it gets out of control!

I see no problem with leaving things on the stairs to get to as you go up/down. Why waste a trip?!
