To only want white toilet roll in my house?

DP has bought peach toilet roll.

It is on the toilet roll holder.

It is making my teeth itch every time I walk past.

Toilet roll needs to be white. Coloured loo roll is the work of the devil.

At least he has hung it the right way round, though.

YANBU, why would he do this, leave him for someone sane!!

mrsminiverscharlady · 10/04/2013 17:46

Gosh, I didn't even know you could get coloured toilet roll anymore! Thought it catered for the coloured bathroom suites which everybody ripped out years ago!

hellhasnofurylikeahungrywoman · 10/04/2013 17:47

If you ABU then I am too. There is no place in this world for coloured toilet rolls.

Dolallytats · 10/04/2013 17:47

YANBU!! And if that wasn't bad enough, he chose peach??? LTB!!

CuntiestMNer · 10/04/2013 17:48

Yanbu. He'll be wanting an avocado bathroom suite next.

Yabu to use the phrase "making my teeth itch'.

kinkyfuckery · 10/04/2013 17:49

I don't even understand why they make coloured toilet paper!

FruOla · 10/04/2013 17:49

YANBU - it has to be white.

But perhaps he went to a small shop that only had peach coloured though? Better some loo roll than none at all?!

CuntiestMNer · 10/04/2013 17:49

"At least he has hung it the right way round, though."

like this presumably

UtterflyButterfly · 10/04/2013 17:49

YANBU. Does DH realise the angst he has caused?

squoosh · 10/04/2013 17:50

Only white paper is good enough for my snow white, rose scented poo.

IWishIWasSheRa · 10/04/2013 17:50

My nan has patterned peach!!!

StuffezLaBouche · 10/04/2013 17:51

I have stuff with coloured owls and stars on - tragically it cheers me up!

M25Meltdown · 10/04/2013 17:53

Coloured paper. LTB

WhispersOfWickedness · 10/04/2013 17:53

Yadnbu.

I think I read somewhere that there is a higher incidence of cystitis for people who use coloured toilet paper Confused

CuntiestMNer · 10/04/2013 17:53

Those poor owls... Sad

MrsBertMacklin · 10/04/2013 17:54

I want to cry, except we're out of tissues and I don't want to touch the stuff

CuntiestMN Affirmative, that is the right way to hang toilet paper.

Ugh.

LTB

Chav.

Grin

But - at least he bought some. He could have spent all afternoon cutting newspaper up into arse wiping sized squares and threading them on to a loop of string.

M25Meltdown · 10/04/2013 17:56

MrsBert

That is the only way to hang toilet paper.

Bowlersarm · 10/04/2013 17:57

YABU!

I only buy coloured loo roll now as apparently to make it white it's bleached to within an inch if it's life and therefore very very very bad for environment

NeoMaxiZoomDweebie · 10/04/2013 17:58

I also have owls and stars in addition to seahorses and other seaside related things.

I saw it in M&S and I wanted it so there.

sherazade · 10/04/2013 17:59

YABU. there is nothing akin to walking down the loo roll aisle and thinking, 'I wonder which colour bog roll suits my mood this week. I am going to have a purple/peach/plain/scented/waffley/value week this week.'. It is a very empowering feeling and I suggest you try it.

AaDB · 10/04/2013 18:00

Simon Cowell has black rolls in his blingtastic lab. Envy Angry Envy

White, paper over the top of the roll is the only way.

CuntiestMNer · 10/04/2013 18:00

Peach is never empowering.

Do they make deep purple loo roll?

NickyNackyNooNoo · 10/04/2013 18:01

YANBU - by law only white should be available.

My DH once got coloured toilet paper, note it was just the once Wink

ClaraOswald · 10/04/2013 18:01

That is most definitely the wrong way to hang toilet roll in this house.

We hang it the other way because we have two cats who used to unroll tonnes of the bastards if they were hung that way.
