Bad Idea #387
Bad Idea #387:
It is a Bad Idea to install shelving in the bathroom.
Now, you may think to yourself “but this falls under the Good Idea category, doesn’t it? Shelving in the bathroom can’t be a bad thing.”
Perhaps. But, Dear Reader, you have not considered the following:
- The shelving installed on the wall next to the toilet, placed above and ever-so-slightly to the left of the commode.
- A house full of cats, one of which is a particularly good leaper.
- The commode, configured with a tank that happens to provide the perfect platform for leaping.
- The leaping cat, who happens to have a Sensitive Stomach.
- The leaping cat with the Sensitive Stomach, who also has a proclivity for Vulching (defined as climbing to great heights, crouching at the edge, and glaring down upon anyone and anything below).
- The fact that cats, particularly Leaping, Vulching ones with Sensitive Stomachs, rarely have the ability or the consideration to select appropriate times to be ill.
In light of these facts, mixed with a little bit of imagination, hopefully, Dear Reader, you can understand how Installing Shelving in the Bathroom is, indeed, a Bad Idea.
If not, just ask Husband for the full explanation.
