Guys, do you remember to put the toilet seat down when you're at home?

Over the years there have been a lot of gadgets to help solve a big problem in the bathroom. Namely, men who leave the toilet seat up, which the woman of the house finds about unexpectedly in the dark! Leo spent $160.00 to buy the iTouch Sensor Toilet Seat at Sky Mall that’s supposed to raise and lower the seat automatically. Unfortunately Leo didn’t get his to work correctly. (Link to that episode below.) I’m glad Leo’s out of the country for this show because Tip Alert, the toilet seat alarm is designed to pretty much solve the same “put the seat down” problem for about $5 or $6. The Tip Alert toilet seat alarm reminds the guy in the house never leave the toilet seat up again. Tip Alert just peels and sticks under the toilet seat. When the seat is raised a green flashing light reminds the man or boy to lower the seat. A voice plays a funny message or some silly music as an extra reminder. Installing one is simple. Pull out the tab that protects the battery, and stick it on under the toilet set. There is peel-off tape already attached on the device. The battery is not replaceable, but the company says the unit is good for about 450 up/down cycles. Somewhere I read there are different funny messages, but it turns out, each version of the Tip Alert has one message. So you can order one for tots/kids or one for adults, or you can get one of each for about $10, plus $2.50 S&H.
