Staying with a friend.

I can't even.

Do I fix it?

Do I tell them how wrong this is?

Do I end the friendship?

If DP did this I'd obviously LTB.

Unless... am I wrong? Have I been doing this wrong all my life?

SEND HELP.

(Lighthearted, obvs)

This is the original patent apparently 😁

I like to live life on the ragged edge @madja Grin

Youhadmeathello1 · 30/07/2019 18:46

You need to be more careful choosing your friends! 😂

Benjispruce · 30/07/2019 18:53

Take a deep breath and slowly turn it around. With any luck the gods may not have noticed and you won't be sucked away down the lav to the very dark place reserved for people who practise this kind of jiggery pokery.

I divorced one of my many husbands because he insisted on hanging the clothes in the wardrobe the wrong way round.

I mean, seriously? How very dare he.

We do this before the arrival of visitors we know it will annoy.

TSSDNCOP · 30/07/2019 18:58

You do not pick your friends wisely OP.

TriptychDebbie · 30/07/2019 19:03

So sorry you had to witness that OP Sad

manicmij · 30/07/2019 19:05

Have you asked her to pay for the counselling you will need for the next 6 months at least. No one can witness such sight and be left without trauma.

ButtercupGirI · 30/07/2019 19:13

It hurts everytime I witness this. I am sorry Flowers

Puzzledandpissedoff · 30/07/2019 19:24

When it's backwards like that, cats can't unroll the whole thing by spinning it

That's what a pal of mine used to say; she endured the social humiliation of a back-to-front roll for the sake of keeping it away from the cats

Then she saw the long, long trail of paper all the way down the stairs ...

HawaiianLion · 30/07/2019 19:28

Sorry but I'd have to end the friendship. This is totally unacceptable. Hope you can move forward OP and dont need too much therapy Flowers

FelicisNox · 30/07/2019 19:30

Your friend is a heathen; she must be saged immediately and taught the error of her ways.

WendyMad · 30/07/2019 19:42

I don't know what the correct etiquette is, but my great aunt used to do it this way, so I do it the other way. I was a rebel when I was young.

Beautiful3 · 30/07/2019 19:42

She's right.

MmeD · 30/07/2019 19:59

This thread appears to have made the Sun online, complete with the original picture

I hope the OP's hospitable friend doesn't recognise her bathroom and bog roll. But then she probably won't see it, bog roll faux pas are one thing, reading the Sun online is quite another...*

*My excuse is that I'm paid to keep an eye on all the media...

bigfatmoggy · 30/07/2019 19:59

I went round to an elderly relation's house a while back and she had done this Shock. Obviously I had to change it round - and as I had young DC I thought I could always blame them for knocking it off if asked. A couple of hours later I went back in and it had been CHANGED BACK!!!!

simiisme · 30/07/2019 20:04

Or would you rather it was hidden & you grabbed it? Grin

What fresh hell is this?!
ForalltheSaints · 30/07/2019 20:05

OP please be sympathetic. Last week's heat got to some people, and it looks only to have been placed there recently.

OJZJ · 30/07/2019 20:10
Grin I am so glad I am not aloneGrin... It used to drive me batcrap when my ex slapped it on any which way.... I change everyone's (friends, public toilets and work), toilet roll round to the correct way.... I have been known to fold it as well ..... My sister once lived with an odious little twat when she was barely twenty that jumped up and down like rumplestiltskin screaming at her that she was clearly a heathen and had been dragged up from the gutter seeing as she can't even put a toilet roll on correctly......poor lass was traumatized for years esp as he just left it empty for her to change every.bloody.time...are you related to himGrin

(Lighthearted, obvs). NO!!! It is the END of civilisation! We are doomed!

wowfudge · 30/07/2019 20:21

I knew I was doing it right. The patent has proved it. I would have to turn it round.

Ellyess · 30/07/2019 20:22

catzrulz. OOOooohhh! I love that so much! I can't tell you how much I want a loo like that! I've got to do it now!
