7 Things You’re Probably Doing Wrong (But Not for Much Longer)
Don’t worry, you’re not in trouble. Think of this as an opportunity to live your best life.
1. Don’t adjust your rearview mirror to see the back of your car. …
Turn your mirror until just after your car disappears. Otherwise, you’ll be seeing more of the cars behind you and less of the cars that could be in your blind spot, to the left.
2. When drying your hands, don’t use more than one paper towel. …
For maximum absorbency with minimum waste, just use one paper towel and fold it lengthwise. Pressure will trap water between the two layers instead of allowing it to re-wet your hands.
3. Using a toilet could be bad for your bowels. …
Some experts are saying that sitting on a standard toilet (instead of, um, squatting, like you might do on a camping trip) can actually obstruct your colon, cause health issues, and discomfort. But don’t worry, you don’t have to crouch in your garden to get nature’s benefits. Instead, place your feet on a little step stool in front of your toilet to angle your colon, and help keep your bowels happy. If you really want to try out this new happy-bowel lifestyle, you could also consider investing in a specially designed toilet stool.
4. Don’t flush your toilet with the lid up. …
Flushing can release particles and germs into the air and onto surfaces in your bathroom. This is especially helpful to remember during cold and flu season.
5. Picking up pizza by the crust results in a hot mess. …
Use your thumb to bend the crust into a “U” shape against your other fingers. This will keep all the goodies on board.
6. Don’t load soda cans into your fridge one at a time. …
Instead, open both ends of your 12-pack, place it on a shelf, hold the cans in place with one hand and slide the box out with the other. Magic!
7. Drying your cups face down can cause mildew. …
When water evaporates during the drying process, it needs to have somewhere to go. Flipping your cups upright allows them to dry without the smell of trapped moisture.
