we'd like to apologise....aka, parents teach your sons
Have we all (Aussies) seen that advertisement for Harpic toilet cleaner? The one featuring men and a boy apologising? It goes like this:> The men of Australia would like to apologise: for our bad aim for splattering for failing to flush for flushing too much and so on. At the end the boy says "we're really sorry". Maybe I'm unreasonable, but this irritates the heck out of me. Newsflash! I don't want apologies. I want men and boys to clean up after themselves. I want men and boys (toddlers excluded) to pee into the water, not all over the toilet and floor. And if you do splatter, drip, miss the pan completely; don't just walk away and leave the mess for someone else to clean up. Pull off a wad of toilet paper and clean that toilet rim, seat, floor, whatever. And learn to pee into the water! Cut out some miniature paper battleships and practise sinking them.... Then flush. Once. Properly. It really isn't that hard. Pare...
