Business idea

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!

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

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

I've got one of those as well KatyK

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

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

* rapping

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..)

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.

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

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"?

All suggestions going on the curriculum!

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.)

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.

And a compulsory hearing test at enrolment, please!

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

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.
