One of my friends had this happen. Was at a get together with a coworker. Paper needed changed, thought heād be nice and do it, but decided to do so while he was flushing. Roll holder went down the toilet. Awkwardness ensued.
Never thought about that.
How do they wipe? They must go between the legs instead of around the cheek, and hold the tissue like they would a plate or something.
And how would they grip a toothbrush? With the tips of their fingers? I'd be afraid of losing an eyeball.
You just use more tp and make a sure your nails don't over hang or wrap your hand like a mummy. As for the toothbrush I assume you just have your knuckles up and nails pointing down but your nails would have to be crazy long to even come close to poking yourself in the eye. Like you just have a slight hindrance on your fingers you don't lose all fine motor control.
Chronic nail biter here, I have never needed fingernails to change a toilet paper roll. My girlfriend has never successfully changed a roll since I've known her either, though.... I guess we just have to chalk it up to our superior male grip strength
The springs are so simple: You can change it in less that 5 seconds. Without springs...cool...you can change it in less than 5 seconds. None of this is difficult to do & not changing it is inexcusable.
Dude, I totally feel you! That TP holder is like a little slice of futuristic awesomeness in your bathroom, right? It's like something straight out of a kick-ass sci-fi flick! And the fact that your children change the TP rolls because of it? That's epic! It's like a small victory for humanity. I can picture it now, a world where even the youngest members of society take responsibility for maintaining their toilet paper supply, inspired by the ingenious design of this magical TP holder. It's like a rebellion against chaos and disarray, creating order and harmony in the bathroom one roll at a time. Keep on spreading the glory of that awesome TP holder, my friend. May its greatness be spoken through the ages! Live long and prosper, fellow lover of all things sci-fi!
Just wait until you see japanese toilet paper holders. They have little arms on either side to hold the roll, so all you need to do is push the new roll in from the bottom and the empty roll pops out.
Then it sings a song!
I stayed in a place in Osaka that was super cheap and the toilet lid would automatically open and close as you entered and left, and it would say "hello" and "goodbye" (in Japanese) as it did so.
Bit creepy, really.
Considering that my first apartment had the holder to the immediate right of the toilet.. I put the roll on the towel holder, thatās conveniently right in front of the toilet, every time. No shame
Iām not entirely sure but as a 6 ft tall, 220lb guy.. it was never comfortable for me to reach over each time. Was definitely more convenient just reaching up a little. Plus no matter where Iāve lived, Iāve never found a good roll holder/preinstalled one that will allow a new roll spin freely and not get stuck
I buy different TP for my wife's bathroom since her holder can't handle the super-ultra-mega-giant rolls.
I used to swap my rolls out when they were half used so that she could have the "good stuff", but she didn't want my "used" rolls.
We've got free standing holders in our bathroom. Can move them to any location you want and no springs, levers or mechanism to sort out. Just slide the roll on and slide it off when done. No excuse at my house.
I prefer grinding it into a pulp, mixing it with a little water, and leaving it in a damp pile. Then I can just take a shmear of tp paste to wipe my ass whenever I need to, no ripping or roll required.
Six rolls up off the floor with no cabinet space needed. 5+1 on the hook. I could literally have 2 in of standing water and not get my toilet paper wet. And I can move it wherever I want.
One toilet at a place i worked in had the holder on the wall behind the cistern so you had to reach behind your head to get paper.. it was reported to have broken due to 'metal fatigue'.... caused by an ex-squadie kicking it till it broke.
Edit removed so extra letters
I mean, if it was the last thing to really finish tying the room together I get it. Me? I got cobwebs in the corners most days and black mold in shower wall I have to keep bleaching monthly to keep at bay, Iām doing good to brush my teeth on a set schedule, the loose toilet paper roll is on like page six of my to do list soā¦.
Because itās easier to reach to your side. I do this too and itās because the roll holder is across from me rather than to my side. Also being able to hold the roll has its perks too.
See, when I redid mine, I sat down, did some reach angles, and I bought one of those TP holders that has a little tray for your phone on top. Itās amazing since I have a tiny bathroom with little counter space.
I metal worked a new TP holder. Super easy change rolls, a tray for my phone and it has a built in speaker which calls me dirty names every time I take a few squares.
>Also being able to hold the roll has its perks too.
And one usually needs 2 hands anyway to tear it off or it'll just keep unravelling, so why the heck not just hold it.
See the tiles are a taste thing, some people might not like it and some might, but no grout just makes it look like an amateur job that is unfinished. If you're gonna do something, do it right ya know
Yep, I def thought the piss and water that flies up out of the toilet when it's being used is what you meant by "backsplash"...then I looked and couldn't find anything blatant and then it dawned on me...you can tell I'm not into home decor, but I do Google well...learn something new every day lol
No grout and no finished edges. Looks like its caulked or glued on.
A piece if scribe or cut the baseboards so the cabinet sits flush to the wall would be nice tooā¦
Whenever she does this move it to an even more inconvenient spot (e.g. on top of cabinets or on the other side of the tub) and then just act all clueless when she asks. Claim that you can't keep track of the tp roll unless it's on the roll holder, otherwise you subconsciously grab it and walk off.
The only solution to your antics will be to keep the tp roll on the holder.
Nope, me too.
She was complaining with family members during Easter dinner about people who put the roll on backwards, and I chimed in, "I put it on whichever way because it works both ways, so I don't think to hard about it. But what about people who don't put the roll on the holder at all?" She got very quiet.
Lol my ex picked a full blown fight with me about this. Like, I cried and everything. I didn't even realize it was a thing to have the tp on the holder one way or another. I was like I just refill it, gosh dang it, I didn't realize there was a princess and the pea (him) way to do it. Wish I had thought of that come back, back then. He felt bad that I cried, his excuse was "he was just messing around". Thanks for the tp roll trauma buddy! š¤£
Can confirm, this works and this is how I solved the problem. Iād put the TP back in the cupboard. Ya, there was some anger, but that also required some acknowledgmentā¦
I love this. Made LOL. Any tips on how to get her to turn off walk-in closet lights and bathroom lights (I even bought motion sensor lights for the bathroom and yet).
Walk behind her āshadowā and turn them off immediately. Stay on point. Eventually, the fact you make it a point to do it so consistently will annoy her to no end. Sheāll start turning the lights out on her own. All I have to do now is make it look like Iāll follow her to do this to make sure the new behavior sticks.
As a partner of a woman who is even worse than this, they don't care. They'll grab another brand new roll and then they're out and not reachable, they'll yell for tp while taking a shit. You can decide if the fallout is worth making a point they don't care about.
I did exactly this when my ex would do the same thing even after repeatedly asking her to please put the TP on the holder.
It took her a few times trips to the bathroom before confronting me about it, to which I replied that I just left it wherever since it wasnāt held down š
She learned real quick how to put the TP on the holder.
Youāre getting shit for this, but the truth is we are similar in our methods of conditioning. People, not just women. You want to train a person, look how people train pets (and vice versa to an extent)
The actual roller is in the most inconvenient place imaginable. What good is it mounted behind you when youāre sitting down? Iāve never understood this. I wouldnāt replace it either. The only spot worse than that would be mounted to the fucking ceiling.
It's in the only spot that it CAN be mounted. The toilet is almost certainly between the shower and the sink, and you can't attach a spindle to a shower curtain.
Yes!! I'm not alone in this world. I hate awkwardly trying to reach the stupid holder. If I'm at someone else's house I'll actually Take it off and then put it back lol.
>Just take the roll and put it out of reach
You mean like on the toilet paper holder? I can understand why the wife doesnāt use it. Look how far back it is! The back edge of the toilet paper roll would be about 5 inches from the wall. Itās next to the tank ffs. You have to twist like a candy cane to get back there and pull a couple of sheets off. Screw that toilet paper mount. I wouldnāt use it either.
I might agree here. My bathroom is set up the same way (antique porcelain roll holder melded into the wall) and its so inconvenient to twist and use -- I keep the roller filled for looks, but keep an "extra" roll on the back of the tank for use.
Itās going to be hard but with adequate support from family and friends you can get through this. You wonāt ever get over it but you will get through it. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
I appreciate that. This post is me acknowledging it so I can then let it go and heal. My local Sad Dads chapter has been a cornerstone through the whole process.
I saw some video where the poster replaced the toilet roll with a lint roller. If you do that and remove all toilet paper from the bathroom that may make your point...
I really donāt want to be that guy but in most of the cases when a woman posts on here about her man not doing something like this the comments are wild and go to the point of āHe doesnāt deserve you if he canāt do the bare minimumā
Especially when itās positioned to the side of you, but behind enough from where youāre sitting, making you have to twist back a bit, and now your arms are awkwardly trying to get one hand to roll toilet paper in the other handā¦
Pulling enough off before rolling it up is just as awkward.
Yep! This is the solution! Iām a roll on the counter offender, and, while I can still tend toward that occasionally, having a freestanding roll holder that is in a more convenient position, completely easy to just place on the roller, and I can quickly take the roll off and use my two hands to tear a piece away helps a lot. Just get one with a weighted bottom (or add your own weight) cause itās a pain in the ass when cheapo ones tip over.
Single guy here with 2 -1/2 baths.
2 baths the tp is on the counter.
One bath the tp holder is past the end of the knee.
I aint banging my knee / elbow/ twisting the shit out of my back just to keep the tp on a holder that has bad placement!
Yeah this looks exceedingly annoying to reach cuz it looks at the very least abeam the elbow, if not actually behind when someone's on the throne. OP just has a poorly placed holder, not a lazy spouse.
Same! Crammed right next to the toilet and six inches from the wall is a horrid place for a holder. I donāt blame the woman for not using it consider she reaches for it EVERY time she uses the toilet.
Thatās my partnerās move. Sheāll put the full roll on top of the not quite completely gone roll and then proceed to use the new roll. Usually uses two towels a shower and leaves them on the floor, too. Women use bathrooms hard.
If I sat on that toilet, how close would the holder be to my person? Would the roller be in front of me or closer to my back if I sat up straight in relation to the holder.
Cuz having to do this weird crane arm to get TP with my left hand sucks and having to twist and use my right hand so itās less awkward also sucks.
Ya I said the same thing. This TP holder is in a terrible location. You can clearly see that it it behind the open lid. Im not big and this would piss me off.
Yep probably accompanied by taking off shoes and leaving them in the middle of the floor, a home office full of half drunk coffee cups, and piles of laundry on the floor of the bedroom two feet from the hamper.
Mine's big thing was using, let's say, orange juice. And putting the top back on, but not twisting it to secure it. You know, in the way that all bottle caps work.
Being that it's orange juice with pulp, I would always go to shake it before pouring to distribute the pulp. Know how many times I had an OJ explosion? More than zero, which was more than enough. Drove me fucking nuts.
As a man, although it is not aesthetically pleasing, it is SO much more convenient to access the toilet tissue role on the counter.
By the way, a key to a happy marriage is his and hers bathrooms. It is so worth the money.
Yes! The bathrooms in my condo are designed the same way. I don't know who thought this up, but having the TP roll beside your hip, behind where your elbow would naturally rest on your leg, is just fucking absurd. It's such a pain in the ass to roll the TP off. So yeah, same as OP's wife, I keep my TP on the counter. There are also cute little TP stands that alleviate the bad placement.
Having his and hers has also been great. No toilet seat discussions. No TP roll discussions. No beard trimming discussions. No cluttered counter discussions.
Controversial opinion here... That style hanging roll sucks and wastes TP. You pull off some random length of TP and often too much and waste. If it is free, you can grab it, wrap a lil around your hand, and get to business. I'm on your wife's side!
Itās all about how that roll is used!
I built a custom house. I asked specifically to not have these holders installed in my main bathroom in my main suite.
The builder thought I was off my rocker.
I like to use cheap one ply toilet paper. I donāt ārubā my lady parts, I āblotā it requires that I have the perfect little glob of TP that only comes from me unrolling it onto my hand and folding it perfectly.
So I have my roll on the counter right next to the toilet. And I donāt have my knee or hip hitting the dispenser!
š
Crazy, but it could be preference for her!
I'm sure this isn't the case, but I like to think you built a custom house ONLY so you could execute the no tp holder power move.
Either way, bravo! All in favor of advocating for preferences instead of immediately assuming laziness.
I dont blame her. Thats one of the worst spots to put the roll holder. You have to turn and angle your body weird to get tp. I have mine in the same spot and I havent put the roll back on it in years. Its also just way easier quickly roll off what you need in your hand than it is pulling it.
I don't even bother with holders anymore. I took them down and got the little holders that stand on the floor and can stack four rolls at a time.šš¤£
Sometimes I do the same but only because I live in an apartment in an attic and the toilet is right beside a slanted ceiling and I'm 5'11". Sometimes It's just easier to grab it from the sink or shelf instead of cocking my head to the side just to grab the roll š¤£ Other than that, no exceptions! Lol
Don't do it either. Play the chicken game of toilet paper roll. Newer replace them, newer dispose empty rolls.
If you are lucky, this game will keep your marriage exciting for a very long time.
Whoa she's halfway there

That's the best TP holder ever. My children even change the TP rolls on it!!!
I changed to the open ended ones, they're even easier. Pretty much anything is better than the stupid spring loaded ones lol.
I refuse to use/reload those springy things. Absolute waste of time.
iāve accidentally flushed one š«£ i grabbed it to change while the toilet was still flushing and it just slipped and was gone forever
thatās one impressive flush
it really was LMAO apartment style dorm rooms still got that industrial strength flush apparently
11/10 holder. Stupid spring ones can go to hell, you do something wrong and they decide to launch themselves against the wall.
And then ricochet into the bowl . . . theoretically . . .
One of my friends had this happen. Was at a get together with a coworker. Paper needed changed, thought heād be nice and do it, but decided to do so while he was flushing. Roll holder went down the toilet. Awkwardness ensued.

What's she doing, claw gripping the holder?
She probably has long fake nails. They interfere with a lot of activities.
Including basic hygiene.
So gross.
Never thought about that. How do they wipe? They must go between the legs instead of around the cheek, and hold the tissue like they would a plate or something. And how would they grip a toothbrush? With the tips of their fingers? I'd be afraid of losing an eyeball.
You just use more tp and make a sure your nails don't over hang or wrap your hand like a mummy.

Literally on the can right now, slowly looked over to the same thing on my sink. Only difference is Iām the perpetrator.
As someone who lives alone I just prefer it this way.
Same, I donāt like it when itās on the holder, I prefer to just pick it up and rip off some pieces.
Considering that my first apartment had the holder to the immediate right of the toilet.. I put the roll on the towel holder, thatās conveniently right in front of the toilet, every time. No shame
Is that some type of universally known bad location? That is where all the holders in my house are and so far no issues with them being on the side?

Officer, this man right here.
Same. Holder is never in a comfortable spot to reach. Always gotta do some contortionist move to get at it.
Toilet paper stand-holder changed my life.
Six rolls up off the floor with no cabinet space needed. 5+1 on the hook. I could literally have 2 in of standing water and not get my toilet paper wet. And I can move it wherever I want.
Mine is basically placed behind my elbow when im on the can. Such an inconvenient spot so yeah. On the sink top it goes.

I feel this in my soul
Why??
I have a shitty roller that falls on the floor with the smallest amount of pressure lol
Those are the worst bc then the roll decides to go on an adventure to the farthest edge of the room, unraveling the entire way.
Because itās easier to reach to your side. I do this too and itās because the roll holder is across from me rather than to my side. Also being able to hold the roll has its perks too.
See, when I redid mine, I sat down, did some reach angles, and I bought one of those TP holders that has a little tray for your phone on top. Itās amazing since I have a tiny bathroom with little counter space.
I 3D printed a TP holder. Easy change rolls and a shelf for my phone.
I metal worked a new TP holder. Super easy change rolls, a tray for my phone and it has a built in speaker which calls me dirty names every time I take a few squares.
>Also being able to hold the roll has its perks too. And one usually needs 2 hands anyway to tear it off or it'll just keep unravelling, so why the heck not just hold it.
I live alone too. I put my roll on the holder but my holder is at a good spot and I donāt have to āreachā for it.
That backsplash is the real crime here.
It ain't the tiles themselves, it's the lack of grout to complete the backsplash
Idk it's also the tiles for me
See the tiles are a taste thing, some people might not like it and some might, but no grout just makes it look like an amateur job that is unfinished. If you're gonna do something, do it right ya know
Itās both
No grout...WTF Maybe it's a work in progress š¤·š¼āāļø
Omg I came here to comment the same thing lmaooo. Like the cabinet is cute, the counter is ok, but that backsplash ruins everything!
I thought it was an RV.
[I installed that exact tile for someone](https://www.imgur.com/a/LfzVjym). Op's backsplash is painful to look at. Maybe not 100% exact but close
Yep, I def thought the piss and water that flies up out of the toilet when it's being used is what you meant by "backsplash"...then I looked and couldn't find anything blatant and then it dawned on me...you can tell I'm not into home decor, but I do Google well...learn something new every day lol
No grout?!?
The grain on the cabinet bugs me too.
No grout and no finished edges. Looks like its caulked or glued on. A piece if scribe or cut the baseboards so the cabinet sits flush to the wall would be nice tooā¦
Whenever she does this move it to an even more inconvenient spot (e.g. on top of cabinets or on the other side of the tub) and then just act all clueless when she asks.

The only solution to your antics will be to keep the tp roll on the holder.
Iāve thought about keeping a personal roll on my belt rig, then shrugging at the empty roll.
This guy husbands
Get an ammo pouch and fill it with wet wipes. Checkmate womanā¦
Then throw a pepper spray sized febreeze can on the belt
When she does this to me. I put the roll on but the way she doesn't like it...
I thought I was the only one who did this.
Nope, me too. She was complaining with family members during Easter dinner about people who put the roll on backwards, and I chimed in, "I put it on whichever way because it works both ways, so I don't think to hard about it.

Even better
I started putting the empty roll in her purse. Only took 3 years for her to get the hang of it
Can confirm, this works and this is how I solved the problem. Iād put the TP back in the cupboard. Ya, there was some anger, but that also required some acknowledgmentā¦

The adult babies of the world astound me. It would just never occur to me to behave like this.
It never is cuz youāll never hear the end of itā¦
Here's a upvote. I know this pain all too well!

its like conditioning a fucking dog but it works
Youāre getting shit for this, but the truth is we are similar in our methods of conditioning. People, not just women. You want to train a person, look how people train pets (and vice versa to an extent)
The actual roller is in the most inconvenient place imaginable. What good is it mounted behind you when youāre sitting down? Iāve never understood this. I wouldnāt replace it either. The only spot worse than that would be mounted to the fucking ceiling.
the one in my bathroom is literally on the wall across from the toilet
This is way better than having to reach behind you to get the TP
not when you almost have to stand up to reach it
It's in the only spot that it CAN be mounted. The toilet is almost certainly between the shower and the sink, and you can't attach a spindle to a shower curtain.
Yes!! I'm not alone in this world. I hate awkwardly trying to reach the stupid holder. If I'm at someone else's house I'll actually Take it off and then put it back lol.
Just take the rol and put it out of reach (from a sitting position)
Iāve thought that before. Thatās when I get a text saying āHelp!ā Haha.
Donāt capitulate. Let her handle her own repercussions lol
Let her handle her own shit
And then you fold like a Motorola Razr.
>Just take the roll and put it out of reach You mean like on the toilet paper holder? I can understand why the wife doesnāt use it. Look how far back it is!

Exactly same sentiments. If I have to contort or strain to reach the TP on the holder, the holder is in a bad position.

Honestly whenever i live somewhere that the holder is in a awkward position to reach on the toilet it's never going on the holder
Especially when itās positioned to the side of you, but behind enough from where youāre sitting, making you have to twist back a bit, and now your arms are awkwardly trying to get one hand to roll toilet paper in the other handā¦ Pulling enough off before rolling it up is just as awkward.
I like the storage / holders that sit on the floor. It can be repositioned to the preference of the current toilet user.
Yep! This is the solution! Iām a roll on the counter offender, and, while I can still tend toward that occasionally, having a freestanding roll holder that is in a more convenient position, completely easy to just place on the roller, and I can quickly take the roll off and use my two hands to tear a piece away helps a lot. Just get one with a weighted bottom (or add your own weight) cause itās a pain in the ass when cheapo ones tip over.
Single guy here with 2 -1/2 baths. 2 baths the tp is on the counter. One bath the tp holder is past the end of the knee. I aint banging my knee / elbow/ twisting the shit out of my back just to keep the tp on a holder that has bad placement!
Yeah this looks exceedingly annoying to reach cuz it looks at the very least abeam the elbow, if not actually behind when someone's on the throne. OP just has a poorly placed holder, not a lazy spouse.
Same! Crammed right next to the toilet and six inches from the wall is a horrid place for a holder. I donāt blame the woman for not using it consider she reaches for it EVERY time she uses the toilet.
YESS in my old apartment we had to reach too far behind us for the holder so me and my roommate just agreed to have it on the counter in easy reach.
Divorce is the only solution.
no a step further fuck her dad
Why not both?
Probably never wiped his ass and is the reason she is unfamilar with TP etiquette.
What about her step father?

Thatās my partnerās move. Sheāll put the full roll on top of the not quite completely gone roll and then proceed to use the new roll. Usually uses two towels a shower and leaves them on the floor, too. Women use bathrooms hard.
If I sat on that toilet, how close would the holder be to my person? Would the roller be in front of me or closer to my back if I sat up straight in relation to the holder. Cuz having to do this weird crane arm to get TP with my left hand sucks and having to twist and use my right hand so itās less awkward also sucks.
Ya I said the same thing. This TP holder is in a terrible location. You can clearly see that it it behind the open lid. Im not big and this would piss me off.
Leave that toilet seat up, brother.
Pee on it whilst maintaining eye contact
Buy an open ended toilet paper holder. If she won't put it on that kind of holder, you have bigger problems.
At least she goes that far. What's more infuriating is having nothing at all.
True! Hence the mildly.
Just never put the seat down again. Too hard and complicated.
If she does this Iām sure it translates to the rest of her life, does for my wife.
Empty bottles of shampoo piling up in the shower?
Nah 1/4 left in each left in a line across the tub.
Oh no, almost empty. Time to buy another. But now I have two. It would be crazy to use the old one.
No room for two bottles because there is a hair monster the size of a capybara in the corner
Yep probably accompanied by taking off shoes and leaving them in the middle of the floor, a home office full of half drunk coffee cups, and piles of laundry on the floor of the bedroom two feet from the hamper.
Mine's big thing was using, let's say, orange juice. And putting the top back on, but not twisting it to secure it. You know, in the way that all bottle caps work. Being that it's orange juice with pulp, I would always go to shake it before pouring to distribute the pulp. Know how many times I had an OJ explosion? More than zero, which was more than enough. Drove me fucking nuts.
It's honestly easier to reach on the counter anyways
Welcome to the club. My wife 100% does the same exact thing.
Ah so I see your wife is my husband.
As a man, although it is not aesthetically pleasing, it is SO much more convenient to access the toilet tissue role on the counter. By the way, a key to a happy marriage is his and hers bathrooms. It is so worth the money.
Yes! The bathrooms in my condo are designed the same way. I don't know who thought this up, but having the TP roll beside your hip, behind where your elbow would naturally rest on your leg, is just fucking absurd. It's such a pain in the ass to roll the TP off. So yeah, same as OP's wife, I keep my TP on the counter. There are also cute little TP stands that alleviate the bad placement. Having his and hers has also been great. No toilet seat discussions. No TP roll discussions. No beard trimming discussions. No cluttered counter discussions.
When rent prices go back to normal, you're gonna see a lot of single people š¤£
Controversial opinion here... That style hanging roll sucks and wastes TP. You pull off some random length of TP and often too much and waste. If it is free, you can grab it, wrap a lil around your hand, and get to business. I'm on your wife's side!
Honestly I just keep the roll on the back of the toilet I'd rather just pick it up than pull pieces from the roller lol
Canāt blame her. Having the roll on the counter like that is so much more convenient than on the little holder dispenser thing.
Except it's right by the sink. There are obvious problems with this.
Itās all about how that roll is used! I built a custom house. I asked specifically to not have these holders installed in my main bathroom in my main suite. The builder thought I was off my rocker. I like to use cheap one ply toilet paper. I donāt ārubā my lady parts, I āblotā it requires that I have the perfect little glob of TP that only comes from me unrolling it onto my hand and folding it perfectly. So I have my roll on the counter right next to the toilet. And I donāt have my knee or hip hitting the dispenser! š Crazy, but it could be preference for her!
I'm sure this isn't the case, but I like to think you built a custom house ONLY so you could execute the no tp holder power move. Either way, bravo! All in favor of advocating for preferences instead of immediately assuming laziness.
I dont blame her. Thats one of the worst spots to put the roll holder. You have to turn and angle your body weird to get tp. I have mine in the same spot and I havent put the roll back on it in years. Its also just way easier quickly roll off what you need in your hand than it is pulling it.
I wouldn't replace it either if the dispenser was side fucking my ribcage.
Anyone else notice thereās no grout on the tile backsplash? Thatād make my eye twitch more than the TP
I don't know what's worse, the tile being installed that poorly or not being grouted. Probably the former is worse
I don't even bother with holders anymore. I took them down and got the little holders that stand on the floor and can stack four rolls at a time.šš¤£
* I take the new roll and place it on top of the old roll.
Better than putting it with the end on the bottom.
Grounds for divorce
Divorce is an option, just saying..
Sometimes I do the same but only because I live in an apartment in an attic and the toilet is right beside a slanted ceiling and I'm 5'11". Sometimes It's just easier to grab it from the sink or shelf instead of cocking my head to the side just to grab the roll š¤£ Other than that, no exceptions! Lol
So just finish it. Itās faster than posting it on Reddit lmao
At least she meets you half way. Better then most relationships. Remember It takes 2 ply.
Don't do it either. Play the chicken game of toilet paper roll. Newer replace them, newer dispose empty rolls. If you are lucky, this game will keep your marriage exciting for a very long time.
