He leaves the toilet seat up. She scatters makeup on the counter. If you're like most Americans, you love your mate, but you don't always love their daily bathroom habits. So what are the things that really drive men and women crazy in the bathroom?

Moen Incorporated found out. During an online consumer survey, Moen's research team pulled back the shower curtain to find out consumers' pet peeves in the bathroom and what they'd most like to change about this room. Luckily, you can easily fix many of these problem areas and create a more harmonious bathroom situation with just a few updates.

Replace the Roll
Although there's a battle of the sexes on many fronts, both men and women were united in their number-one pet peeve: not replacing the toilet paper when it runs out. In fact, 42 percent of women and 31 percent of men stated this as the single biggest complaint.

Eliminate the frustration of empty paper rolls by adding a pivoting paper holder. Designed by Inspirations by Moen, this innovative accessory features a spring-free, pivoting arm allowing you to simply lift the arm and drop on the roll. This quick and simple step will help eliminate your paper pet peeves and allow you to start your day "on a roll."

Clean Up Clutter
Men just don't understand the need for all of women's "stuff." In fact, 20 percent of men in the survey cited the second most annoying thing in the bathroom as wasting valuable counter space by leaving toiletries and cosmetics scattered about. Additionally, when asked what they would like to change about their current bathroom, 36 percent of respondents said they would like to increase storage space.

Luckily, reducing clutter and increasing storage don't have to involve a major renovation. The addition of accessories such as shelves, towel bars and towel rings can take toiletries and towels off the counter and put them onto the wall. With stylish collections available in a variety of finishes, you'll also be adding a beautiful décor update to your bathroom.

Free the Floor
When it comes to messy floors, it's the bottom of the room—but not the bottom of the pet peeve survey. In fact, 19 percent of men and 22 percent of women state that leaving dirty clothes on the bathroom floor is a top annoyance. And for households with children, leaving wet towels or dirty clothes on the floor are the top two responses (33 percent each).

Freeing the floor can be simple. Choose coordinating towel bars and robe hooks for each person who uses the bath, ensuring that the hooks for children are hung low enough for them to reach. By assigning a spot for each towel and providing an easy place to hang clothes, bathroom users will be encouraged to hang up these items, keeping floors free and clean.

Supersize the Shower
When it's not people providing the pet peeves in the bathroom, it's the bathroom itself that causes annoyance. In fact, 85 percent of respondents said they would like to change their bathroom. Topping the list of woes was the size of the bath (45 percent want to make the bathroom larger) and the shower (37 percent want to enhance their shower).

You can relieve both of these bathroom ailments by adding one product to your shower. Curved shower rods, previously only seen in luxury hotels, are simple to install and can add up to 7.5 inches of elbow room in the shower while adding elegant style to the room. They're available in a variety of finishes.

One way you can ensure that your bathroom is a happy spot for both sexes is to bring in a qualified storage expert (from California Closets) or handyman (from Handyman Connection) to install more shelving, put up towel bars, enlarge your tub and shower area, and eliminate all those pet peeves.
