House Rule #9

I almost forgot to finish sharing the house rules!
I particularly like this one. What do you think?

This was an impromptu one some years back. I was SO frustrated, that I just typed it up and posted it. It benefited all as they did not have to listen to me explode and rant and I got my point across.

HOUSE RULE #9
The male inhabitants of this home are about ready to cause me another “yell down.” Please take note!

It is very irritating to me when my bathroom magazines become unorganized. First, I can’t find what I want. Second, I have a purpose to my mad organization. You see, the bottom compartment of magazines always gets peed on. Since I cannot seem to get you all to stop this (which I wish you would), I keep in the bottom compartment the magazines that get thrown away after reading. So, the only magazines that go in the bottom rack are the Missouri Conservationist (take out the February one and look at the front cover…look closely…see the pee!). In the second rack I put the boy scout magazines, Lutheran witnesses, and any others (since most of them get thrown away too). On the top rack is where I keep the Kids Discover magazines because we do save these. Please do continue to read (I want you to read), but please put things back where they belong when done.

Next, I have about had it with the tub faucet always dripping. I have had to fix it every time I go into the bathroom and this is getting very annoying! You MUST turn the knobs fairly strongly to keep it from dripping (including turning off the middle one…uggg..that gets to me too!)

Please sign this note (anywhere on it) so that I know you have read it. When I see four signatures on it, I will pitch it.

Thank you! Love, the female inhabitant of this home. 

I love this rule!

I remember when I was a kid I would make and put up NO Smoking signs around the house so my dad (and aunt) would both stop smoking. I overheard one of my mom and dad's friends outside the door saying he didn't want to come in because of my signs! Haha :)
