Business idea

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.)

with the special advanced lesson; don't take control of the shopping trolley and walk off with it, leaving spouse with armfuls of food (especially frozen), to drift up and down the aisles looking for you, and the trolley.

Don't tell anyone else in your household that they 'allowed you to leave home without your wallet/glasses/phone'.

Kitchen doors are 'soft close', not 'self close'. Same applies to the freezer, although it is smart enough to bleep at you when you do don't close it properly.

I have pushed in 4 chairs so far today, one for breakfast, two where he was doing taking his computer apart for some reason and one for lunch.

It would not be so bad but I am an inherently tidy person and cannot function when everywhere is in disorder.

Can we add how to push in a chair after using it.

Let's start with the Orientation to the Working Kitchen, please?

Please may we have a lesson on wiping down a kitchen surface after making a mess, especially the cooker, using the special cream for the ceramic hob?

To my knowledge, most rooms are not circular so it is really good if corners are cleaned.

Washing up and putting utensils away before I have finished using them.

That's a good one.

Can we also have one that says a dirty piece of clothing will not miraculously become clean by being put on the chair and will still be unwearable in a few days and will also be crumpled.

NotAGran55 it really doesn’t matter if it is of interest again.

I would like to teach how to put things in the dishwasher instead of on the worktop above it.

Not to put away things that are just about to be used.

I’d like someone to teach how to put a loaf in the breadbin, not in front or next to it. ? Drives me mad.

To not nod and make affirmative noises when told the arrangements for an event and then declare sometime later that you were never told anything about it.

How to read perhaps? Especially dates ?

Pragmatic again,lawns are a thing of the last century, especially with climate change and need for biodiversity, therefore could you consider doing something to make your open plan front garden look more pleasing, but less inviting to pedestrians?

Maybe make a longtitudinal strip a no-mow wildflower long grass butterfly sanctuary, with poppies and nettles and buttercups and cornflowers and yellow rattle, but the edges neatly mown, to show it is deliberate and for the planet, not for laziness?

Of course, if it is not a rule that grass must be the only plant, you have many options to make a plant-barrier to horizontal crossing.

Shutting doors, especially the front door if a tradesman has to go to his van in July, okay but that is not acceptable in January.

Where I live the front gardens are all open plan. Could you please teach my neighbours and their many friends that they have a path from their front door to the road, the shortcut is not across my front lawn.

How about a whole section on shutting drawers and doors, and another on putting things back where they were found.

For the pragmatic, while awaiting establishment of the new training school business:
Put a self closer spring on the gate?
Put the door knocker / bell in a more inviting position or make them somehow intriguing/irresistable to use?
If however the current knocker is overexciting to gorillas, superglue a suitable muffle to the striker?
Find an acceptable parking spot with amusements for angry supermarket husband e.g. near the newspapers/magazines, for browsing, but with spare cash / card to purchase one if wished, and an agreed bench to go and read, till you do the finding of them ?
Place the new loo roll and, importantly, the receptacle for the discarded cardboard, invitingly close?
There are even self closing loo seats

I put a notice on the toilet roll holder once when some of the family were coming to stay, pointing out that the law forbidding the replacement of toilet rolls by visitors had been rescinded. It still didn't work, so yes, please put how to change the roll if you use the last sheet high on your list of lessons.

Lessons on how to put the TV remote back where it stays would be useful too.

Is there any chance of a section on How To Take In All Items In A Shop thereby happening upon new products not just those on a list, which, when located, have to be rushed to the till?

Toilet seats too please, not my husband but many male guests???

????oh my days - I can so identify with this one!

And a compulsory hearing test at enrolment, please!

This was when dds were still at home, but how not to leave a little shampoo etc. in the bottom of the bottle and start another, instead of leaving the first upside down so the last bit can be used. Or adding a little water and swishing it about, to use it up.
And then putting the empty one in the bin!
Plus of course starting a new loo roll and leaving the empty tube on the holder.
