Thias has been discussed, but I cannot find the thread, and there are more new people here now anyway.Does the Toilet Paper Roll go over, or under? And what other Household practices do you... Practice, that may be subject to debate? I beleive it is totally acceptable to leave just a half ounce of liquid in a pitcher, until I get the time required to re fill it. Like brew more tea, or make more kool-aid. ------------------

The roll goes between the little brackety things, on that springy axle bit. The *paper* should come OVER the roll (and maybe be folded neatly to a point).
;-)I leave my toilet lids down, because of a Near Cat Drowning incident years ago. Thanks to the same incident, my Beloved Ex was also most religious about putting the seat down. It is the ONLY part of our marriage which didn't contribute to our divorce ... However, I do try to leave seats/lids as I find 'em. In bachelors' apartments, I always open the suckers right back up upon leaving. So, Cupness, where do you stand on refilling ice trays, if you're not the one who exhausted the cube supply? *Keeps her own policy mum, but allows that she can be a lazy bum* And it's not a practice, as such, but I don't get Swiffers. Can *anyone* explain the supposed charm of these little suckers? I wouldn't derail such a new thread if this weren't really bugging me a bunch. ------------------

I'm not such a big fan of the Swiffer device, but the cloths are great because they're really dust-attracting. You don't end up just moving the dust around like you do with normal dusters, and it's easier than using a wet cloth. Also, Swiffer cloths are great for computer-outside dusting and dry-erase board cleaning.Oh yeah, TP overhand and just finish off that last half-ounce and clean the container. ------------------

It honestly doesn't matter to me how the TP goes, and obviously it doesn't matter to pet either, cause we both hang the toilet paper randomly.Dump out the end of it, throw it in the sink. Swiffers collect the dust off the floor while you are sweeping into a pile, normal brooms stir up the dust into the air, causing asthma attacks. IP: Logged |

The TP should always be OFF the bracket entirely and just sit on the side of the sink. Or, at most, on the back of the toilet...but then you have to turn around, which sucks. Also, if you check the date on the milk and decide not to drink it because of expiredness do you leave it in the fridge or throw it out? I leave it.------------------

The TP should come OVER the roll. 'Cause when you need paper, it's a much more natural motion to bring your hand down on the roll spinnnn it downward to get to the free end. Just like they spin the big wheel on The Price Is Right.Toilet lids should always be DOWN. That's what they're FOR! It's unsighly to have a toity just sitting there agape. Plus, little chilluns and animules can drown in it, and/or drink from it or play in it. And we don't want that, now do we? And please close the lid before flushing, thanx, or we'll have Toilet Mist (TM) all over everything. And please, CLOSE THE EVER-LOVIN' DRAWERS AND CABINET DOORS ALL THE WAY!!! Fer cryin' out loud. I do NOT understand leaving them half-open. Just continue pushing until it's CLOSED! My just-moved-out-roommate was FOREVER leaving the bloody things open in the kitchen, and it made me NUTS! Not to mention the fact that, owing to my visual disability, I kept running into the blasted things. Grrrr. Oh, and the shower curtain should be open all the way spread out so that it can dry properly, after using the shower. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the tp goes on the sink, the empty jug goes back in the fridge, the cupboard or closet doors stay open, the lights stay off until i trip (always lock the barn door after the horse has run away), i drink the milk unless it's hosting a community, and if the ice didn't come with the house, it's not there. if the milk does happen to be green, it goes back in the fridge; someone else will take care of it when she visits. the toilet stays up in my house, when i have one. i don't leave my shower curtain pulled across the shower, though. maybe that's because i haven't gotten around to getting one yet.[this message has been edited to operate for semicolonic cancer.] [This message has been edited by A (edited October 01, 2001).] IP: Logged |

Under damnit! Keeps the kiddies from unspooling the whole roll. Not that I have kiddies, but I have to deal with them often enough.------------------

In my long working life, having served as: - A hotel maid at Harrah's Tahoe (at the time, only one of a few consistent five-star Mobil award winners - you know, back when it meant something);
- A stupidvisor at Harrah's Tahoe, serving the 14th, 15th, and 16th floors (concierge/security floors, suites for comps/stars, penthouses);
- Assistant Head of Housekeeping, SF Hilton & Towers;
- Head of Housekeeping, Universal City Hilton;
I can assure you that the end of the toilet paper roll goes over the top and down the front. However, being a mother of two mischievious fur-persons, the TP rolls at my house sit on their sides, on the counter. TOILET PAPER IS NOT A TOY, DAMMIT!

I cant even explain how many times the TPs been under, and i go to grab it, and slam or scrape my knuckles on the wall.Sure, it may be mostly my fault for bad depth perception and poor hand eye coordination, but damnit, that other 5% of responsibility lies with the bastard who cant put the TP on the right way! The TP goes over! over! over! It makes it easier to grab, saving valuable seconds in the race to save humanity. ------------------

Mm...make...the bed??Yeah, toilet paper goes over. It just does. Don't ask me why. It's just the way it is and always has been. Pour out the jug? Fuck, drink the rest at least. And, um...I don't have one to add.
I sure do like those erasable pens.

bed making is for kids and old folks... both groups have wayyyy tooo much time!TP goes over, it just does! Unless the milk is armed it is drunk, if armed it is carefully poured in the sink. the drawers and cupboards etc. are closed except for the one that has the BBQ stuff in it, if you close that one you may never get it open again!

A bed shouldn't just be made when a visitor comes over, the bed should only be made if you ever have a chance of getting said visitor in it.The TP belongs on the counter, or over if you have visitors. The magazine rack should be strategically positioned somewhere where you can still reach for some reading material if you're dropping a dirt snake, yet you won't accidentally piss on it after eight beers. The plush toilet seat cover belongs in a landfill. IP: Logged |

TP - over.Liquid - finish it off, or pour it out, depending on age. Toilet lid - down, bizarrely. Ice cubes - make 'em special for the drinks - 1/2 hour on fast freeze. Milk - if I don't know the age, it gets the sniff test. The slightest hint of gonewrongness, and it's down the sink. Bad milk makes me vomit, and I don't like vomiting. Cabinet doors - closed, closed, closed. Even if I've got to rearrange everything to get things to fit, closed. Lights and other electrical appliances - everyone else in my family leaves everything on all the time, TVs, radios, alarm buzzers, lights. It's not wierd to have three TVs blaring away in the house with nobody watching any of them. So, I go around and turn everything off periodically. Bed - if it's mine, I can just barely get myself motivated enough to put sheets on it, once. If I'm using somebody else's, I'm the most finicky beggar ever. Unless I know that person well enough to consider myself part of their extended family, in which case I treat it like home! Nobody stays in my bed. Did I cover everything? I think so. ------------------

Much better idea: Get a keg, change one of those radios to techno, then charge $10 at the door for your rave. ------------------

I like this Theonana.Lid down, even in a 4-males 1-female household like mine. That way everyone knows how it is. We keep a plastic bowl in the freezer for ice cubes. When the trays are completely frozen, dump the cubes in the bowl and refill the tray (put it on the bottom of the stack). Presto! You always have ice cubes. Shower curtain closed. It has fishies on it, the tub walls don't. Cupboard doors closed. The cabinets may be ugly on the outside, but they're uglier on the inside. Make the beds. Untidiness makes Mommy throw away toys and rearrange the furniture, which is a bad thing. Keeping things tidy keeps Mommy's blood pressure low, which is a good thing. ------------------

Close the shower doors, so they can dry out.Close the cabinets, to prevent darkness-related running-intos. Lid down. About making the bed: I never bothered when it was just me, because I'm a neat sleeper, but Tom has a horrible tendency to make a complete mess of the sheets and/or blanket somehow. If I didn't make the bed (basically, straighten the sheet and blanket...no tucking), I'd have to sleep in a bed with a knot of sheet in the middle somewhere, with a twisted blanket on top.

For the other questions;Lid down, I do NOT like Corban to drink out of the toilet, and I do not want Cinder to jump into it. Shower curtain closed, mildew is icky, closing the curtain prevents that, ohh and spray the curtain, and shower walls, will mildew daily shower spray after every shower as well. Cupboards/cabinets, shut them or the cats will get inside of them. Bed, The sheets must always be on the bed correctly before I can sleep, other than that it doesn't matter. IP: Logged |
