Last September I wrote about how no one in the house knows how to replace the roll of toilet paper as needed. Life rolls on, winter passed, spring sprung and now it is summer. Week after week, day after day, it is my job to remember to keep the TP in stock and also replace the toilet paper roll. Especially the one in the “master bath”. Where the following occurs a couple of times a week:
Well, a couple of weeks ago while visiting a friend of mine in
Back at home I did an online search and found this one at one of those bed and bath stores for $24.99: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=16554120
It was all I could find, but I didn’t order it. Figured I’d find a coupon and then go in person soon.
Well the other day I went to my nearby TJ Maxx in search of some cotton skirts (score!) and headed to the linen area because Hubs recently mentioned all of our wash cloths have disappeared. Next thing you know I was on the aisle that had all sorts of bathroom items such as shower caddies.
And then I saw our new toilet paper holder….for just $12.99. There was one left. It was a great TJ Maxx moment.
I set it up that night:
And a day or so later this is what I found:
Some things will just never change. He says it's genetics.

Noooooooo! I was scrolling and hoping for just such a picture, I admit. Too funny! And I am not surprised.
What if you left the cardboard roll thingie on his pillow? Too bitchy?
And my parents have that exact tp dispenser. Not sure how they're dividing their tp replacing duties.
I'm so annoyed for you. I've been working on a post where I list the recurrent arguments/discussions of my marriage (I worry it's too bitchy and naggy sounding, though.) Anyways, this is so one of those things.
F**k genetics. It's just bad manners.
I was worried that he was going to replace the empty one with a new on top (like in the first picture), but I don't even know if that would work with that dispenser. At least no more scooting around with your nudy booty, you've got spare rolls right there. I like it.
It's crazy, isn't it? We have the same situation going on here. I've trained Mr. M to change them and bellow when his dad does not. It's not working, though.
This made me laugh so hard that I guffawed. Honestly, I so need that laugh. I live in a household of boys and have the same problem --
THAT is hilarious. I love it. I absolutely love it.
Surrender. Just surrender. At least it looks all cool sitting up in that contraption.
:-)
I was JUST thinking about this issue tonight as (again) I was confronted with an empty TP tube. This post is hilarious--that last pic made me laugh! And the nude booty scoot--done that, too!
Hang in there, girl. Your sisters around the world feel your pain.
Okay, that one had me laughing out loud. Predictable, but still hilarious.
The gene for replacing toilet paper rolls is closely linked to the gene for sitting to go potty. The two are on the x chromosome.
(So is the gene for common sense. And you need two copies for full expression).
With all that testosterone in your house, I'm pretty sure you're fighting a losing battle!
I think I would carry my own private stash and let the one who has the TP refill problem suffer.
Hahahahaha! The punchline photo is a killer.
Thank you!
HILARIOUS! Hope you don't mind but I posted a link to this on my Facebook page. I, however, hardly have to deal with this (YET) as I am still solely responsible for wiping every butt in my family, save my husband's. Oh joy!
Are you ready to hide the t-p from him?? Gosh, this is just lazy!!!!
*laughing*
And running to get one for our downstairs bathroom.
lmao! I went with all non-springy thingy toilet paper holders in our house. Just makes *my* job of changing rolls easier.
Sometimes I am tempted to leave an empty roll behind when I've used the last of the roll, to show 'em how it feels, but I just. can't. do it.
The best!
The TP holder, not the Y thing.
Mothers of All Boys deserve an island vacation once a year - with a nice, hot, male maid who changes out the roll, all by himself.
While telling you how incredible and beautiful you are.
And handing you a tropical drink.
Too much to ask?
