My wife asked me to clean the bathroom.
I don't see anything wrong with it. What do I do? Is she playing some fiendish feminine trick?

Do nothing.
About four minutes from now holler out to her you'd love to go shopping.
She'll forget about her obsessive anal bathroom fixation and leap at the thought of new shoes!
Go to the mall.
Enter thru BestBuy.
Tell her to meet you back "here" in an hour.
Recheck your back pocket for the credit cards you removed from her purse.

Get some bleach on a sponge wipe it around to distribute the smell, take a long shower and call it done.
-
you have obviously done something to offend her. play the bumbling inept male and make a weak attempt to "clean" it, maybe she will take pity on you and forgive the offense.

Oooh! Gadflys' example works well when faced with the laundry demand too. Just make sure your clothes are not in the washtub before applying the chore "fixer" :)

Flush the toilet and call it quits.:D
-
Remove the toilet(shut the water off first!) and replace it with a 5 gallon bucket. She'll never ask you again.

This is what I would do.

Thanks good ideas guys.
Shoppings out because she's at work. So I did the bleach thing.
It still all looks the same, but you can't spend more than a minute in there now without your eyeballs going on fire.
Seems like now I'm double-damned. For whatever it is that I've done that I don't know I've done. And also for doing what I was I was supposed to do.

I walked in one day to see my young newlywed wife cleaning the bathroom and the first thing that popped in my head popped out of my mouth, I said what are you doing honey, we moving...
And of course she took it the wrong way like usual...
I was just kidding!!!!
Go outside and grab the yard house and then pull it in the house and start spraying!!!

Accept immediately. Clean the bathroom in most inept way possible using the cloth, sponge, handtowel and anything else for the dishes or other hygenic use from the kitchen. These items must all be heavily soiled or ruined completely by the end, as should your clothes. Try to ensure that you use a really ludicrous amounts of every cleaning product you have in your house. Leave the bathroom dirtier than you found it, whilst leaving/ evidence of a job done with gusto, perseverance and total ineptitude. Accept the inevitable flakking with a some hand wringing and a "Sorry, Honey; I tried, I really did"/ "lost little boy in the big bad world" face. Retreat to bar or other secure area to gloat at the fact that you won't EVER be asked to do that again.

The first job I always give new hires, no matter for what, is make them clean the restrooms. The way I figure it, everyone uses it, and since there is no dedicated cleaning crew, this will give them a fine incentive to keep it clean. Plus, it tells me a lot about the person by how well they do it. And, just to answer your question in advance, I DO clean it myself, but seldom if ever use it; I use my own at home.
