Isn’t it frustrating to hear about “man caves” when we all know that for many men, the ultimate sanctuary is the bathroom? They seem to settle in as if they’re clocking in for a shift, spending what feels like an eternity “doing their business” while we know they’re really just avoiding responsibilities like helping with the kids’ homework. But fear not; things are about to change.
Introducing the Toilet Timer!
This innovative device allows you to set a time limit for those long bathroom breaks. For just a one-time pledge of $17 on Kickstarter, you can snag this clever little gadget—if it reaches its funding goal. The timer features a humorous silhouette of a man leisurely scrolling through his phone while sitting on the toilet. As the sand trickles down, it serves as a gentle nudge to remind him to “Shit or get off the pot.” Literally!
Imagine no longer having to endure those 40-minute bathroom marathons while you’re left managing the chaos of kids and dinner. With the timer set for just five minutes, your partner will have to make a choice: either take care of business or get out of there. This is not a free-for-all!
If your husband is anything like mine, he strolls into the bathroom with his phone, fully prepared for a lengthy stay. But why should he take forever? If nature hasn’t called yet, he shouldn’t be lounging around for half an hour! When it’s time to go, it should be go time—no exceptions.
As moms, we’re used to squeezing in quick bathroom breaks, often interrupted. Just this morning, I had barely a minute of privacy before my son was knocking down the door, blanketed and ready to place his breakfast order—all while my husband snoozed away.
If mothers attempted 40-minute bathroom breaks, we’d return to find complete chaos—kids in disarray and a house that looks like a tornado hit it. We get two minutes max before things get out of hand. Now it’s your turn, guys. Time to step up!
