    Who let you into my bathroom!? My kids are too young to do it, but my husband does that EVERY time! And usually he just leaves it on the counter so I have to search in a VERY awkward position, lol!

    Small comfort to know I’m not the only one.

    Sigh…

    Yes. It is.

    My husband passes it off by saying that he can’t remember which way I like the toilet paper to hang *rolls eyes*

    OH! Well, we had the same problem here, until I switched to the kind of TP holders that are open on one end. They’re “L” shaped, no pesky springs to “complicate” things for poor overworked husbands.

    Wow – it’s just like my own house…

    I am guilty of this. Sometimes I will finish an entire roll before putting it on the holder. :-P

    I do it too, but my excuse is that my three year old will ROLL the bathroom…. but it drives me insane when “people” don’t take the empty roll off the holder if and when the ‘new’ roll is put on.

    This happens at my house. And my office, too. I admit, the one at the office is really weird, but it’s not rocket science!

    Ahahaha! So my hubby isn’t the only one!!

    Change it when it is getting “close”. Leave the end roll on top to finish off.

    Ha ha…. looks like my house except my hubby won’t even get a new roll out… so I am often sending my daughter to get me a new roll because I don’t realize it until I am not in a position to get up…LOL

    Sorry to say, it’s me that does this in my house! tee hee

    Ha! Looks like my bathroom. We do have a very good excuse – the toilet paper holder is coming lose from the wall and neither The Man Beast nor I have collected the gumption to fix it! :)

    No kidding! I too am happy to not be alone.

    Such a relief to not be the only one.

    I go through this same phenomena on a daily basis. It’s not so bad so long as there’s another roll to put on, but half the time – I am left to scream for more TP. Such an endless struggle.

    ROFL … but in all seriousness, when my husband does install it, I usually take it off and put it the other direction. :-)

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Okay, this is especially funny to me because of the blog post I did about this same thing over a year ago!

    Men, for the most part, really are all wired the same, aren’t they?

    It must be very hard for men and children. I have given up on the paper being in the holder. Seems everytime I go to the restroom it is either empty or the cat has uprolled the roll and no one bothered to spin the roll back. It is a pet peeve on mine but a battle I choose not to fight.

    It’s only hard for men and children, at least in my experience. Adult women who are charged with caring for a home in addition to all other responsibilities, seem to be able to multi-task well, including this type of activity and closing the toilet lid!

    Yes it is hard! Especially when you live in an apartment with cheapo bathroom hardware that flies off the wall and the paper rolls way out of reach in one direction – you know, just when you need it most – and several pieces of the hardware flies off in other directions, and it doesn’t stay fixed for more than a day… unless you put in a work order, then it might stay fixed for several days… arrgh!

    Reason #??? why I would much rather be a home owner than apartment occupier, but work requires moving, so, just be happy you have TP somewhere within reach when you come visit, ok?! ;-D

    guilty!! (me) I do that sometimes… I don’t know why…. :o )

      Ahh my husband does the same. Only if he doesn’t immediately spot the last roll he sat randomly on a counter somewhere, he just grabs another one from the cabinet. There are usually no less than two half-used rolls sitting on the counter, just waiting to be knocked into the sink or toilet. Drives me nuts!

    I got a tp holder that is open-ended so you just slip it on/off. Much easier! :)

    That is so my house.

    Now here’s a smart woman that doesn’t waste her time with negative emotion!! Instead of being perplexed that her family (ahem, usually husband) doesn’t put the roll on the holder, she does it herself. Perfect! She does it when the roll is close to the end and then puts the “small” roll sitting on the top. Voila! Problem solved! Negative emotion is not good for us, ladies! Let’s all take April’s solution to heart!!
