The saga of the new Toilet Ring and Lid
It started yesterday morning. The hinge on the ring for the toilet broke.
M: I'm going to the home center to get a new toilet seat and lid.
S: OK. Get a new one for the other bathroom too.
M: OK
I return and I'm starting to install and I hear from the other room
S: After you get the seat off, let me clean
She cleans
OK, I'm done.
M: I'll do the other one tomorrow.
S: Mrmff. Yeah right.
Next day, she is working outside in the garden.
I remove the old, clean and install the new.
Now at dinner it goes like this
S: Did you clean?
M: Yes [And I'm just waiting because guys never clean properly besides I'm an engineer. ]
S: WHAT DID YOU USE?
M: Rich's magic cleaning solution
S: WHAT IS THAT
M: Blue Windex but a generic brand
I have her attention now
S: I don't have any blue Windex
M: I know. I went out to the UTE and got mine.
S: I have Windex here under the sink. [Showing me the bottle. ]
M: It's yellow
What ensued was a 5 minute lesson about how to read labels. To each lesson I replied "It's yellow, I was looking for blue."
So now she isn't speaking to me. It will be a pleasant evening and I'll flavor a few ice cubes.
The new ring and lid is installed on both toilets.
I am happy.

I'm with you. Window stuff is blue. Yellow could be anything. You had a choice - look at the labels on everything under the sink, on the chance that something there is window stuff, or go to the ute, knowing exactly where you'll find window stuff that's the right colour.

I agree. If Windex is yellow it is clearly past it's 'Use By' date.
Those were the droids I was looking for.

Sadly it seems she may very well have you by the short and curly bits on this one
Disinfectant Cleaner Multi-Surface – Windex(R) – SC Johnson
The yellow stuff is the multi-surface germ killing variety for use with toilets etc .....

Yellow spray seems a bit silly for a toilet cleaner. If you miss a bit....
Well, it will look like you've missed a bit
