The key to a happy marriage is serious discourse.
As such, the husband and I have a running argument about the bathroom door.
I say that if you leave the bathroom in a toxic state you should CLOSE THE DOOR to prevent it from contaminating the entire house.
He says that if you leave the bathroom in a toxic state you should leave the door OPEN so that it can diffuse and avoid killing any unsuspecting people who follow you in there.
I say that a closed bathroom door is a WARNING in itself.
Forget the door, the real trouble starts at the seat. Close the lid, gents!

1) Start with the fart fan on and leave it on. 2) Courtesy flush 3) Febreeze 4) Announce to everyone, "Dont' go in there." It's called etiquette people.

Keep door closed with fan running. Close lid.

In our house if the door is closed it means someone is in there. But fan running, spray used, best that can be done.

When I was growing up, my Dad would always light a match after a "toxic" episode. That smell of sulfur was an announcement to all as they got closer to the bathroom. And when the sulfur smell was gone, it was safe to enter!

Bathroom light off, door closed, fan on means "bathroom not-occupied but proceed with caution."

Flush often. Use the fan. Light a candle. Air freshner--crucial if you are having a party. Your guests will thank you.

Get a bottle of Poo-pouri. You add a few drops to the bowl before the toxic event and after, if necessary. Saves everyone!

Turn the fan on and leave the door *mostly* closed - as in contacting the frame. Spray.
And no courtesy flushes. Do you really want to bathe your nethers in the spray that comes out of a toilet?
