What makes a lovely bathroom? One that doesn’t constrict my nerves the way this list of pet peeves do.

Bathroom pet peeves:

• Bathroom tissue not torn off at the perforated line.
• Empty bathroom tissue holder.
• Bathroom tissue rolling towards the wall.
• Tube of toothpaste left uncapped.
• No hand towel.
• Soap suds on shower door.
• Water around the sink.

Bathroom pet peeve specific to Canadian bathrooms:

• Lack of drainage.
  What is up with Canadian bathrooms? Doesn’t it sound ridiculous that bathrooms are designed to be “dry” bathrooms? What happens if you’ve got a tonne of unintentional water accumulation on the ground? Where does the water go when you scrub the walls or the floor? There has to be a hole in the ground for which to drain water from bathroom floors.

  Perhaps this isn’t limited to Canadian bathrooms, but I do remember seeing drainage on the bathroom floor of many hotels I’ve stayed at in different countries.

Another reason why Eli and I fit so well? He shares this list of pet peeves, although, he might add this one line:

• Hair on the floor

I’ve purposely left that off the list because while it does annoy me to an extent and sometimes I go on a rampage to pick up every strand, I have come to terms with reality. You have to when you experience hair loss as abundant as mine, particularly when blow drying.
