Screw-Top Lids
I've always had a hard time with screw-on lids. They seem to go on crooked for me, or--especially with things like bottles and sippy cups--they leak. Half the time I just end up getting frustrated and handing them to DH to screw on for me, or just dealing with the leakage.
Finally, I asked DH how he always seems to get lids screwed on straight when I can't.
He said, "Well, here's what I do: I turn the lid backwards until it clicks down. Then I know it's at the beginning of the threading and I start screwing it on from there."
It's so simple. And it works beautifully every time.
So how did I manage to get through almost 30 years of life without figuring that out? LOL.

See -- men *are* good for some things! (Just kidding!)
Glad he taught you a trick! Sometimes those little "shortcuts" are the only things that drive me back from hurling myself off the Cliffs of Insanity.
I read that and went, "huh"! Who knew? Obviously DH knew, but that would have never ocurred to me. You have no idea how many messes this will elminiate for me.
Klee, I love learning tricks like that.
CCW, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who didn't know that trick!
