You know the scene (I think Seinfeld did an episode on it). Your new partner goes to you bathroom for a shower, hops out and opens your medicine cabinet. She is confronted by anti-dandruff shampoo, anti-depressants, denture adhesive, tinea ointment, a brush caked with hair, ear-wax remover, eye-drops,
haemorroid cream, etc.
The romance quickly disintergrates.
But if the cabinet had a false wall, like the rotating false-walls from librarys in horror movies, you could spin it around when guests are due. The "fake" side would contain after-shave, romantic bath-oils, a brush with no hair stuck in it (never to be used), vitamins, etc.

Heck, I'd like a version of this for my entire bathroom... |
|
| |
[sings] but although the house is madly gay,
It wouldn't do for everyday,
We actually _live_ in 7A,
In the house - next - dooooor! |
|
| |
I was thinking a refrigerator could be done along these same lines, but the never-to-be-eaten brie and escarole would rot. |
|
| |
Yes! I could even do this for my kitchen cabinets! |
|
| |
or my rubbish art collection. or my size 10 (uk) knickers carelessly strewn on the floor... |
|
| |
come on - you know what I mean by strewn |
|
| |
(+). I heard one story of a hostess (no, not that kind) who filled her medicine cabinet with marbles to catch out dinner guests who peeked during a visit. |
|
| |
she lost her marbles? plink. plink. plink... |
|
| |
I'd love to play that trick on one of my friends, she is very snoopy. How do you get all the marbles in without them falling out as you add them? |
|
| |
I saw that marble trick on a hidden camera show. The reactions were priceless. Didn’t show how they loaded them though. |
|
| |
Rather simple really, just take a piece of paper, us it as a wall to keep the marbles in, put some tape on the outside. When you close the door, the paper will stick to the door, and let the marbles out. |
|
| |
Damn, you mean someone has been cramming all my baking pans sideways in the cabinet just so they fall out every time I open it? |
|
| |
From the title, I imagined a box full of placebos. |
|
| |
Magic fridge....magic fridge... |

Slightly off topic story: |
|
| |
Some friends of mine moved into a house formerly occupied by a group of bikers. |
|
| |
There was a little loop of string that stuck out of the wall next to the medicine cabinet. |
|
| |
One day my friend became curious why the loop was there, and tugged on it. |
|
| |
The back wall of the medicine cabinet opened out on hinges, and there was a note scrawled in pencil on the inner wall. |
|
| |
It read "So you finally thought of this, you bastard. I took the money AND the drugs too !" |
|
| |
//We actually _live_ in 7A,
In the house - next - dooooor!// Yay
Flanders and Swann. Yay Moomintroll.
Whatever happened to Moomintroll? |
|
| |
Brilliant! A roll for you! |
|
| |
Or you could just keep all your medicine cabinet stuff in that box under the bed where your other private things are. |
|
| |
Just don't mistake the icy hot for the vasoline... |
|
| |
My wife an I use a rubber cockroach attached to some fishing line to scare the daylights out of nosy medicine-cabinet snoopers. |
|
| |
It's usually worth a good laugh. |
|
| |
for the fridge idea use plastic food [+] |
|
| |
How about just having a camera mounted
inside the cabinet that takes a picture with
an obvious flash when the nosey person
opens the door? Whose embarrassed now? |
