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)

OP, how are you feeling today? I feel sick for you.

zucchinieggplant · 30/07/2019 21:20

OP I love you, but have you tried some zoflora?
Thanks

zucchinieggplant · 30/07/2019 21:27

Wait a minute, are you my MIL? (even though I would never allow this abomination under my roof)

Elsie1966 · 30/07/2019 21:40

OMG that is the correct way for me I am totally OCD about the paper hanging that way. Reason being if you have to go through the night it's soooo much easier to find the end of the roll in the dark. If I go to family or friends house I put it that way too. Sorry op 🙄🙄🙄

madja · 30/07/2019 21:42

@bellinisurge oooh you rulebreaker you! I like rules☺️

ToPlanZ · 30/07/2019 21:51

Oh no! I just didn't think there really was a 'right' way. I assumed it was DH being a fusspot.

Years of just chucking the loo roll on to the holder in a cavalier fashion, never worrying about over or under. All this time I thought 'it's him not me'.

Could it be that it is actually me!?

MiniMum97 · 30/07/2019 23:12

Turn it round. I always turn it around if I ever see it round the wrong way. No one knows it's me.

My DH incorrectly thinks that's the right way round. I've told him on more than one occasion why he is wrong but he's a stubborn bugger.

CeCeDrake · 30/07/2019 23:55

Go NC , it’s the only way, no one needs that negativity in their life!

Toomuchtrouble4me · 31/07/2019 00:17

I would -and have -frequently turn it.
How do these people sleep at night?

I bet they put the microwave timer on an odd number too!😱

ThatCurlyGirl · 31/07/2019 07:18

Came home from my horrible hospital stay yesterday and fell asleep - woke up to you brilliant bastards making me laugh again and then realised the thread is on Sun Online!

You lot made a shit week much better - THANK YOU.

Just waiting for a message from a Loose Woman producer now. And a letter from the Queen to say thank you for my service. Dame Curly you say? Chill out Liz.

@simiisme Your picture will haunt my thoughts forever. The spider and the comma. The latter I may be wrong about but I have lost all my self confidence due to the 1% of people who said I was wrong regarding #loorollgate19

1% is 1% too many.

@Toomuchtrouble4me

I bet they put the microwave timer on an odd number too!

It's a slippery slope isn't it? I've seen it all too many times. First the microwave, then the TV volume and finally - the time you set the alarm for.

My ex would scroll the clock settings for his morning alarm and once (TW) he actually let it set (Srlsy TW) right in front of me for... 6:53am?!

FUCK OFF YOU MONSTER

A swift LTB was enforced obviously. According to social media he's happy with his new partner in slovenly alarm setting crime. But he's probably gaslighting her behind the scenes.

Not your circus, not your loo roll OP.

silvercuckoo · 31/07/2019 08:45

Always shocks me when people are so quick to jump to conclusions. Offer support to your friend, if she's a real friend, you don't know why she is like she is! I would anonymously gift a loo roll hanging course to her, in this way you are helpful without being judgemental.

Mother87 · 31/07/2019 08:56

😯😯😯

Ohmygot · 31/07/2019 09:28

Are you guys real. Why is that so important how to hang the toilet paper. Go to toilet wipe your bottom. Put it down to toilet. That’s it.
Some of you considering divorce and suggesting to leave entire family because of that. Is this a joke thread.
People have real problems in their real life. Omg. Most unbelievable thread I have ever come and cross.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 31/07/2019 09:47

It’s a slippery slope, OMGot. Wiping one’s bottom is a red herring.

This is how things start to rot. Loo roll the wrong way today, tea on the wrong mug tomorrow, and then who knows, maybe even apricot Whole Wheats instead of Raisin on the Ocado shopping list.

These things matter. We cannot stop being vigilant agains their encroachment and taking over our values. There is a right way of doing things. We must fight the good fight!

Toomuchtrouble4me · 31/07/2019 09:47

Ohmygot

You are quite right - we should NEVER be lighthearted and should always discuss very highbrow and important issues.

Such A’s never putting cutlery upside down

Toomuchtrouble4me · 31/07/2019 09:49

6.53am? 😱 Lucky escape Op.

S1naidSucks · 31/07/2019 10:18

Such A’s never putting cutlery upside down

DON’T YOU DARE! Just no! Even talking about such blasphemy on here is disgusting and I’ll be reporting you to MNHQ for something or other! 😠

S1naidSucks · 31/07/2019 10:24

I’m really shocked at your attitude Ohmygot! Do you even know what site you’re on? Why is that so important how to hang the toilet paper. REALLY? You really need some help, with that reckless attitude. I think you’re mistaken us for Twitter, shakes head in disgust

ThatCurlyGirl · 31/07/2019 10:45

I can't tell if @Ohmygot and @LadyRannaldini and @Dee94 are joke posting too or genuinely berating people who are joking posting. Meta Mumsnet!

MITCHELL33 · 31/07/2019 16:39

I would turn it round only because when our tiles get wet/damp the paper sticks.Could be worse I have a relative that after using the loo always leaves the end of the paper in a v shape "like nice hotels"!

SlocombePooter · 01/08/2019 18:10

Can I just say I have been short arm shamed!

I went to a friend's house and discovered the loo roll holder is on the back wall next to the cistern. I had to twist round and stretch AN EXTRA FOUR INCHES to reach the (wrongly hung) paper. Nobody cares about us short people. Nobody.
