Ok. 1. EVERYONE should have a "hunting backpack" containing bonoculars, a tube tent and or tarp, rope, pocket knife, matches ect. even if you do not hunt. These items are more than useful in regular household emergencies. . 2. Lack of a shower curtain is most DEFINITLY considered a household emergency, especially when one can actually smell themselves when just sitting there breathing. I do NOT recommend attempting to bathe without a curtain, since this could cause bathroom flooding, and if you don't have a working lock on your bathroom door you could be opening yourself up to the possibility of a younger sibling, or other family member walking in and catching you scrubbin' down. I don't care how many times you attempt to explain the concept of good hygene, you will forever be known as "the kid caught scrubbing their rear" to anyone who catches you without a curtain. (thank goodness i had that tube tent just in case. . . ) 3. It is completely unacceptable to remove the shower curtain without giving all stinky members of the household fair warning that you are taking away whatever hope they had of bathing while you vacate the house for an hour or two without giving them the location of the spare curtain. However if you do fall victim to such an act of cruelty, you may continue to steps four and five. 4. A tube tent, or tarp, draped over the curtain rod and secured with hair clips, shower curtain rings, or even clothespins makes for an excellent makeshift shower curtain. Being resourseful is a MUST when there are obstacles trying to prevent you from maintaining good hygene habits. 5. Removal of a shower curtain without warning is punishable. One WILL be expected to tolerate looking at a bright orange tube tent or ugly blue tarp that does not match their bathroom decor for as long as the formerly (well.....HOPEFULLY formerly....) stinky family member sees fit. yeah. there's a bright orange tube tent being held to our shower rod with hair clips and shower curtain rings. . . . i had just showered a few hours ago but my hair just didn't look right so i decided to start from scratch and shower all over again. . . . . yeah. I consider that an emergency. especially since we're going out of town today. . . |
