Ok, so I'm a bit of a reality TV junkie. I have my key favorites, and a very limited TV time budget, so I don't watch ALL of them. Yesterday, the American Inventor caught my eye, and on it is the restroom door clip. This device is a product of pure genius.
To me, it seems so simple, yet, according to Sharon Clemens, over 50% of restroom doors in ladies public washrooms have locks that are broken, missing or simply don't line up. I mean REALLY how friggen hard can it be to install a door lock and have it acutally LOCK? Or, here's a concept - FIX the broken locks! Further to this, the doors, when not locked swing open at random. Or worse, people just bust in mid-pee.
And ladies, I know we have all mastered the pee-with-one-foot-holding-the-door-shut technique, the have-the-friend-stand-guard trick or the wait-until-the-stall-that-locks-is-freed-up method, but NOW we have a solution that fits conveniently into the average handbag. Sharon Clemens, currently on American Inventor has invented the restroom door clip. This handy-dandy device simply slips over the top of the door, slides over to catch the partition, and even has a cute little "occupied" sign on it. WIth a quick slide of the clip, the restroom door is secure.
Brilliant.
This woman is going to make a gazillion dollars, cuz I bet there isn't a girl alive who wouldn't see the benefit of this contraption.
