How not to glare at your wife in the supermarket when you have had trouble tracking her down because she has had a nice chat to a friend and wasn't where you thought she should be! (It happens every bloomin week - his irritated face coming towards me and I am fed up with it.) angry

All suggestions going on the curriculum!

Chewbacca Thu 23-Aug-18 17:59:51

Oh, and also "How to Replace the Loo Roll When You've Used the Last Piece Instead of Leaving an Empty Tube For the Next Person"?

Chewbacca Thu 23-Aug-18 17:57:38

Could you include "How to Put the Loo Seat Down Before You Leave the Bathroom" in the curriculum as well Oldwoman70, please?

Or use the bell. I am fed up of testing mine to see if it works, after that gorilla has called on me and banged away.

MissAdventure Thu 23-Aug-18 17:51:36

And how to knock neatly and pleasantly.
Instead of sounding like a gorilla hammering on a set of drums. (There's an idea for an ad..)

I have some candidates for "how to shut a gate" could you also teach "how to use a door knocker" instead of rapling on the glass panel please angry

Not to mention empty cardboard tubes where there should be a toilet roll.

Auntieflo Thu 23-Aug-18 17:06:32

I've got one of those as well KatyK

And when you take the last of something from the fridge or pantry, don't leave the empty packet in there!

Of course, it will also include a section pointing out that standing in the middle of a room glancing around and then saying they can't find something is extremely irritating to their long suffering better halfs.

I would also consider including instruction on how to hang a coat on a coat hook rather than throwing it over the back of a chair

Auntieflo Thu 23-Aug-18 16:47:06

Could it please contain a section on how to put things back where you found them. Husbands being first in line, don't all rush now!

Following on from the GN who has an invention (love to know how that is going by the way). I have a business idea. I am thinking of setting up a school to teach .......................

how to close a gate! grin

Judging from my experience I am sure it is a lost art. It seems I have to close my gate after people have called several times a day!

I was just cleaning the shower (a job I hate anyway) when I glanced out the window and the gate was wide open - must have been the postman. (There goes his C****** present)
