    I bet you staged these

      Okay smartass. Let’s call it a reenactment.
      I had to recreate these because I am OCD and always put these things back the moment I see them. As soon as I saw what the challenge was…I had to take these photos.

    That first pic made me giggle. =) http://wp.me/pdJ7S-ve

    Yes I think you have chosen a good trio there Lorrelee,
    and the first one could be drastic, even frightening in some
    instances, of course there is always the three shells option
    when all else fails. I saw that on a Sylvester Stallone film
    one time but the loo roll is much safer me thinks? :)

    Toothpaste blobs and phone hang ups are another favourite
    of some, but now that you have brought this problem to them,
    hopefully there will be some improvements… Dream On :) lol

    Have a fine rest of day
    and a wicked evening :)

      Thanks. I doubt they will ever change, but I did tell them that from now on each person will get their own toilet paper and they’ll have to remember to bring it to the bathroom or….oh well.

      Have a great night and weekend.

      • Androgoth January 20, 2012 at 6:07 PM #

        Yes The Three Shells option :) lol

        Have a great evening my fine friend…

    Do you live at my house?

    Perfect post for the problems of the ages.

    • lorrelee1970 January 20, 2012 at 5:50 PM #

      I really think Dateline should pick this up. These are hard hitting issues.

    simple bathroom tool – but necessary – (not in Arabian countries!)

    greetings!

    • lorrelee1970 January 20, 2012 at 5:49 PM #

      Yeah…We told the kids they would need to use their hands soon, because I was tired of their laziness.

  7. diggingher January 20, 2012 at 5:49 PM #

    great! you would think this would be simple?!

    • lorrelee1970 January 20, 2012 at 5:51 PM #

      I know, but obviously it’s akin to performing brain surgery.

  8. ansuyo January 20, 2012 at 7:32 PM #

    Let me know if you ever figure out how to solve this problem – you could write a book and become a millionaire!

  9. jakesprinter January 20, 2012 at 7:38 PM #

    great a very simple needs in everyday life nice post Lorrelee :)

    • lorrelee1970 January 20, 2012 at 9:42 PM #

      Simple, but so challenging to many it seems.

  10. Sunshine January 20, 2012 at 9:03 PM #

    Excellent entry . . . I can relate to the toothpaste cap not to mention the dribbles of the toothpaste that NEVER gets wiped up off the counter! Thanks!

  11. Aurora, HSP January 20, 2012 at 10:15 PM #

    I think they all happen in every house. Unless you live alone. But then. There is no one to blame. Dang it, LOL

    • lorrelee1970 January 20, 2012 at 10:22 PM #

      I think that’s the good thing about family. There is always someone to blame. Of course…..if you are on the receiving end….not so good.

  12. A.M January 20, 2012 at 10:32 PM #

    hahahahaha….got a few more to add to the list :-P

    • lorrelee1970 January 20, 2012 at 11:15 PM #

      Thanks for stopping in. You should add them.

  13. pix & kardz January 20, 2012 at 10:44 PM #

    very simple, as we can plainly see.
    rhymed you back!
    thanks for sharing

    • lorrelee1970 January 20, 2012 at 11:18 PM #

      Thanks for stopping in and thanks for the additonal rhyme.

  14. mj monaghan January 20, 2012 at 10:45 PM #

    I’m a bit OCD also, so I’m good. But when the kids were home … different story!

    Simply Superb in its Simplicity!

    • lorrelee1970 January 20, 2012 at 11:20 PM #

      I can’t wait to go to their homes when they are older and do the same thing, but I better not. Their kids will just think I’m the crazy forgetful gramma.

  15. christyb January 21, 2012 at 12:28 AM #

    Haha I believe I saw this on Digg earlier today and commented. :)

    • lorrelee1970 January 21, 2012 at 11:57 PM #

      Wonderful. I’m not quite sure how it works yet. I’m getting there.

  16. Gobetween January 21, 2012 at 3:42 AM #

    I love your selection – I would add open cupboard doors – my other pet hate :)

  17. Arindam January 21, 2012 at 10:36 AM #

    You expressed the word simple, simply brilliantly. Great post.

    • lorrelee1970 January 21, 2012 at 11:58 PM #

      Well……Aren’t you simply the best for saying so.

  18. Gilly Goldsworthy January 21, 2012 at 1:32 PM #

    Simple things that many struggle with!

  19. Patti Kuche January 21, 2012 at 4:33 PM #

    At least the toothpaste tube hasn’t been strangled at the neck!

    • lorrelee1970 January 22, 2012 at 12:01 AM #

      Oh my goodness. I hate that. We do have that problem here, but I’ve given them each their own toothpaste.

  20. Red January 21, 2012 at 9:50 PM #

    I hear the toilet seat up is one. Fortunately for me, Bears shit in the woods.
    Red.

    • lorrelee1970 January 22, 2012 at 12:00 AM #

      LMAO. That is priceless. Yes, you are most fortunate.

  21. Just Ramblin' Pier January 21, 2012 at 10:45 PM #

    Simply a great take on the challenge! Awesome photos. : )

    • lorrelee1970 January 22, 2012 at 12:01 AM #

  22. eva626 January 22, 2012 at 4:10 PM #

  23. The Guat January 22, 2012 at 5:38 PM #

    Definitely preaching to the choir…especially the toothpaste droppings in the sink…ugh. :)

  24. Madman January 24, 2012 at 6:08 AM #

    Simple excellence. You got it all, kudos :-)

  25. betweenyesterdayandtoday January 24, 2012 at 7:45 AM #

    Thanks for the laugh

    • lorrelee1970 January 24, 2012 at 10:38 AM #

      Anything I can do for a laugh, I will. I’m glad you enjoyed the post.

  26. The Hook January 24, 2012 at 8:00 AM #

    NOTHING about you is simple, young woman!

    • lorrelee1970 January 24, 2012 at 10:38 AM #

      I will take that as a compliment. Thanks.

  27. barkinginthedark February 12, 2012 at 7:33 PM #

    you forgot the toilet seat…thanks for the sub. will endeavor to entertain. continue…

    • lorrelee1970 February 12, 2012 at 7:41 PM #

      Shocking, but with three males in the house over the age of ten…..no toilet seats get left up. Maybe they use the sink?!?
