Toilet roll standoff 😭help

I live with 3 adults and a 14 year old.

Whenever l go to the toilet there is NEVER a toilet roll. NEVER! Plenty of tubes but never a roll.

I am the only person who ever appears to get a replacement one. Therefore l have to ask, what the rest of my family are wiping their backsides on.

There’s never even a half finished one. Just an empty one. Every . Time.

Oh god that Izal paper, it smeared the poo around! Just a little light reading in the history of the use of paper for bum wiping. wellcomecollection.org/articles/XOsAeBEAAEMRUqpd

Perhaps you should channel the 1950’s and make your own loo roll out of newspaper, hide the soft stuff.

My elderly mil lives with me and has one of those loo roll stacking devices with a dispenser on the top. She always leaves the empty roll inner on top of the stack of new rolls. I put it in the bin every time as it annoys me seeing the empty roll per her there. Well I've just had a lightbulb moment! I'm.going to just leave the empty tubes and so eventually she will have to put them in the bin. Let's see what happens. Lockdown excitement!

When I was a kid my gran had magazine or newspaper pages threaded on a piece of string for you to wipe your bum on. Very like Izal in effect. Awful days.
