These days all frameless shower doors are very fashionable and are popular with many people for their sleek modern look. All frameless shower doors are made from thick tempered glass that is incredibly hard to break. This means it is possible to get years of performance out of an all frameless glass shower door.

I thought I was the only person I know who ALWAYS puts the toilet seat lid down! It is a relief to know someone else considers this good etiquette.

On another issue, I have a real problem with people who don't wash their hands before leaving the bathroom, especially when they subsequently interact with me. I have such an aversion to this that I am thinking about putting up a little sign in my bathroom that asks users to (1) close the toilet seat lid and (2) wash their hands. Anyone have an opinion on this??

I am happy to say I have trained my husband in all the above mentioned procedures. Toilet lid down and no wet feet on the bath mat, especially. I mean, isn't it obvious? Wet bath mats irk me because it means if I take a shower after him then step out onto a soaking wet mat. So thoughtless. Flushing the toilet with the lid open sprays germs all over the place. So I think these are extremely pragmatic rules - not OCD.

You are funny. I was laughing so hard at your turkey story. Now this is even more funny. I have had the shower problem too. I have dreads so it doesn't matter, but its not fun when someone gets in the shower, adjusts it and then when you get in the water blasts you straight in your face. The bathmats, that is a little too hardcore. I would never think that someone's mats are for decoration.

Kelly! Thank you for this post because I already have issues with the bathroom...I mean, c'mon, it IS the place that you do your business. But I cannot stand using the bathroom after someone else and the sight of the lid up on the toilet drives me over the edge. I thought no one else understood this! But YOU do!

And to second what Andrea said, I've heard the same thing...EW!

OMG I had forgotten about the em-effin guest towel situation!!

I used to do that beautiful little stack of guest napkins, but it proved way-confusing to people all the time. Like, they didn't know that the napkins are there for them to USE. So irritating. I stopped buying them because I realized some of my guests were either a) not as versed in etiquette as I wanted them to be; or b) idiots. Both are disappointing. Stop touching my towels!!

Some may find this offensive, but not long ago I learned that the flush of a residential toilet can splash water up to 20ft...that sent me over the edge with OCD about keeping the lid down ALWAYS. Ewww. A distant second place goes to guests who actually USE the pretty towels in our powder room. The towel with a ribbon and decorative bauble tied around it is not meant for grubby hands! When we entertain I provide a tidy stack of single-use guest towels next to the sink...but the pretty one proves irresistible to at least one clod *every* time. If I find out who you are... And I know, I know...guest towels are for guests, but I wouldn't dare do that in someone else's home.
