mini-moan: three from the top and two from the middle please carol

I'm a man that's easily annoyed, and there's one sure way to annoy me, squeezing the toothpaste tube from the middle. I just don't understand why anybody would do that, it makes no sense. Not only does it make it harder to get all the toothpaste out of the tube, but what advantage does it give you? I get so annoyed when I have to spend 5 minutes correcting a toothpaste tube that's been squeezed from the middle. I'm staying at mums for a few days and she is a perpetual tube middle squeezerer, there's just no changing that. It seems odd because my Dad was so emphatic about squeezing from the bottom and obviously taught me well (I know what your thinking and you have a dirty mind), you'd have thought the practice would have rubbed off on her. But it didn't :(

So to any of you out there that are unable to use a tube properly, for my own sanity get one of the tubey pump thingies so I don't have nightmares about all the lumpy and misshapen toothpaste tubes lying on the shelves of medicine cabinets or in glasses by the sink.
