There is a silent war going on in my house

Whenever I hang a new loo roll I do it so the loose sheet hangs away from the wall as this is obviously correct. Then DH turns it round so the loose sheet hangs by the wall. So I change it back, and DH turns it round again. Every single time.

He has to be doing it deliberately. I should LTB, shouldn't I?

You're doing it the wrong way, your DH is correct!

Get another bog roll holder and hang the paper the way you want.Mark both of them HIS and HERS.

Krampus · 11/04/2016 09:37

Yabu and so very very wrong.

Junosmum · 11/04/2016 09:37

DH is correct.

BaldHedgehog · 11/04/2016 09:38

Oh and YANBU. The only correct way to hang the paper is away from the wall ( easier to grab while reading instead of stroking the wall looking for it).

Whisky2014 · 11/04/2016 09:39

I'm with you OP

acasualobserver · 11/04/2016 09:40

OP, you are wrong. I actually feel sorry for you that you don't know it. Everyone's laughing at you.

BieneBiene · 11/04/2016 09:40

You are right obviously.

Agree it should be away from the wall. All hotels do it that way.

BaldHedgehog · 11/04/2016 09:41

Divorce him on the grounds of very unreasonable behaviour. He's enforcing his fecking way so you might throw in a bit of EA as well during your free 30 minutes at SHL

memyselfandaye · 11/04/2016 09:41

You are wrong Grin

wasonthelist · 11/04/2016 09:41

DH is wrong and so are all others on this thread saying it should roll towards the wall - that's just daft. They are probably all cat lovers too.

MooseAndSquirrel · 11/04/2016 09:42

LTB, Your doing it the right way!

OTheHugeManatee · 11/04/2016 09:42

Thanks for the support, sensible people Smile

You are right. Don't LTB yet, fold the ends into a nice point like they do in hotels. That will really wind him up.

MyKingdomForBrie · 11/04/2016 09:44

But it's so unsatisfyingly messy when the end hangs away from the wall.

You're a scruff and so are all you YANBUs!

OTheHugeManatee · 11/04/2016 09:44

Sliced Grin Utter genius.

Yes do that! Grin

SugarMiceInTheRain · 11/04/2016 09:46

You're right. Much easier to grab, and as another poster said, that's how hotels always have the loo roll. Though I suppose if you have a cat/ dog/ toddler who likes to unravel loo roll, I can see the logic in having it hanging towards the wall.

He sounds very stubborn. (Ignores OP showing equal determination). And you are doing it the way I do right, of course. Halo

MidniteScribbler · 11/04/2016 09:48

Get one of these. That will fix him.
