I’m not going to put which side I’m on so as to avoid bias, let’s do a poll!

Who’s job is it to replace the loo roll on the loo roll holder?

A) The person who uses the last of the previously roll

B) The next person to need some after the previous roll is empty

D without a doubt

A. But I have mitigated this by installing a multiroll holder in every toilet. Each tower holds 4 additional rolls and I top it up whenever it gets down to two. I have the empty toilet paper roll fear.

Me regardless Grin

Haven't RTFT but A) The person who uses the last of the previously roll

Otherwise you end up in a rather awkward situation of sitting down, doing your business and then realising there's no loo roll left as some selfish bastard didn't bother replacing it!

PoesyCherish · 06/01/2019 00:13

Oh and D, definitely

D
Although my husband purposely changes it around to C just to annoy me (it is highly effective and hugely irritating).

TheSmallAssassin · 06/01/2019 00:18

A, obv. I try to keep a spare one in each loo, so if you finish the roll, you need to swap in the new one and also get a new back up roll. Everyone is tall enough now, I think, to reach the main stash.

A and D Smile

That appears to be my job.

ErrolTheDragon · 06/01/2019 00:35

Ah, a silver lining to console me for DD having gone back to uni today - she seems to have developed the knack of getting the loo roll down to a bit more than the token 2 sheets but never far enough to have to change it herself. (DH uses the loo in the en-suite so he's solely responsible for that)

Nothininmenoggin · 06/01/2019 00:43

It's always me so I must be A and B.

GhoulWithADragonTattoo · 06/01/2019 00:58

I also think if you've almost finished it but not quite you should still pop extra loo roll somewhere accessible, eg on top of the toilet. So A but with even more onus on them if they don't leave enough on the roll.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 06/01/2019 01:52

It's so obviously, definitely, uncontroversially A.

Having successfully toileted and cleansed yourself, you are now in no immediate hurry or potential position of 'delicateness' and thus you have sufficient time and ease to leave it as you found it, ready for the next incumbent, who may well not have the luxury of time and non-delicateness that you now have.

After all, depending on house occupancy, individual schedules and personal needs, the next footfall could very easily be yours again.

One small caveat, though:
If you're not a basically qualified bog-roll-replacer and, in your utter idiocy, you're intending to hang it the wrong way around - thus forcing me to perform either of two actions: the 'under-grab-knuckle-scraper' (Artexed walls can be murder) or the 'cat desperately trying to climb satin curtains' - then just don't bother. Really, it's FINE - I'LL do it, like I do EVERYTHING ELSE around here.
