Excessive use of Toilet roll

We having a few issues with having to reflush constantly but since lodger been away this has gone! So we know it’s cause the lodger uses 1/2 toilet roll everytime he goes to the loo.

its ridiculous amount of toilet he goes through compared to us 2 females who have used 1/4 of toilet roll since he been away for Christmas for 5 days.

AIBU to ask lodger to reduce amount of excess toilet roll he uses?

Yeah well unless every poo you two do is a Lucky Barry then I'm afraid I just don't believe this.

Ah, OP, do ye not poo?! Or do you produce special teflon-coated miniature poo nuggets that leave no residue?!
Leave off monitoring this poor chap's toilet habits! He must have a nice clean bum, which is reassuring! 😅

Do you two not even wipe? I can’t believe you’ve used so little over 5 days! There’s two of us in the house and three toilets so it would be difficult to estimate precisely how much we use per day, but I’d say it’s got to be at least one roll. That’s based on how often I need to purchase a new packet of loo rolls.

Get a single sheet dispenser. Or everyone uses their own - they could be colour-coded. Tell him the loo pipe was blocked and you had to call a plumber. Or just don't police people's toilet habits. Poor bloke.

He might be using too much but you don't use enough

We had 6 of those double size rolls on Christmas Eve afternoon.
Got half a roll left...

Who sorts the toilet every time he clogs it?

I’m sorry, you’ve only used 1/8 a toilet roll each in 5 days?! Are you wiping with a hope and a prayer?
