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)

Harsh (in many ways) Buffet but your way is the only way, clearly. They walk among us and must be identified as enemies of the state.

We moved house a few months ago, it has a toilet roll holder mounted on the wall but usually I just leave the roll on the toilet Blush
genuinely couldn't care which way it goes Grin

What is wrong with people? Do they never learn?

Justabadwife · 29/07/2019 11:05

@ThatCurlyGirl I'm so sorry Flowers
Hopefully in the coming years and with incredibly expensive counselling you will be able to slowly get over this.
I would also publicly shame your friend on Facebook. Show the world what she is really like.
Sending hugs 😉

IgotApositive · 29/07/2019 11:05

Well not on the toilet.. I meant the doogly bit at the back of the toilet 🙈
Imma just leave now..

Reported. You're clearly a T(roll)

KUGA · 29/07/2019 11:08

That's how I do it.

Downunderduchess · 29/07/2019 11:09

They say it takes all kinds. Now I've seen everything, why are people like this, they must know what they are doing is an abomination and against the natural order of things.

I do see what you did there - you deserve a bog, I mean big, prize for that!

ThatCurlyGirl · 29/07/2019 11:11

I might write to my MP.

It's Theresa May though (actually is!!) so she might be a bit preoccupied.

She could use the loo roll as emergency tissues though if she's upset?

@MarianaMoatedGrange @ThatCurlyGirl
first i had a leave of absence to get over the shock, obvs. During that time, i heard, there was an urgent all staff mandatory meeting where they discussed this, and set up break-out workshops so they could roll-play the correct way to hang toilet roll.

There were follow up meetings with individual transgressors after that and a Toilet Roll Security Staff Member (for each toilet) were appointed.

This patent application (not sure of the veracity Wink is often helpful in these discussions)

Have you considered how insensitive you're being, ThatCurlyGirl? Hasn't it occurred to you this may result from her undoubted ADHD?

ThatCurlyGirl · 29/07/2019 11:18

@Brefugee

Shit I can't believe I forgot a diagram. Someone did that about parking on here and flounced when people called troll. I promise I'm a long time MNetter - centre parcs etc.

I'm so sorry I forgot - thank you for sharing that, it means a lot Thanks

IncrediblySadToo · 29/07/2019 11:20

I guess maybe her kid could have done it?

I know she is (or WAS) your friend, but seriously, your teaching with that attempt at an excuse for her awful behaviour

MarianaMoatedGrange · 29/07/2019 11:21

Brefugee that diagram is balm to the backside of my soul. Glad to see your workplace is taking this breach of toilet rights seriously, and has put the correct protocols in place. You must all hang together on this one.

ThatCurlyGirl · 29/07/2019 11:22

@Puzzledandpissedoff

Have you considered how insensitive you're being, ThatCurlyGirl? Hasn't it occurred to you this may result from her undoubted ADHD?

I know you're right but I grew up with a family member doing the same thing and it just brings back so many memories. I've shared that with this friend before so she should be a bit more sensitive.

I've been there for her in tough times, and given her a lift to work for free for the last year, so this kind of cheeky fuckery has come as a bit of a shock.

Oh that is wrong. So very wrong. Makes me itch just looking at it. My morning is ruined now

Hanging it the illegal way has been scientifically proven to be extremely dangerous.

Once the outermost folio touches the floor - whether through means of gravity, toddlers, cats or just over-vigorous pulling by a previous incumbent, it becomes a very real trip hazard of the highest order. The worst thing is that, the more frantically you run to try and free yourself from its evil clutches, the more of a trap it actually becomes as your feet become swaddled in a prison of binding softness.

It merely functions as a paper-based treadmill as the unlucky victim unwittingly mirrors the actions of a cartoon character attempting to gather speed before making that sudden, instant top-speed dash.

The crucial difference being, though, that Road Runner makes a majestic sprinting foray into the desert sunset, winning freedom and the exhilaration of personal success in one glorious triumph. You, on the other hand, just end up tripping and bashing your nose on the edge of the bidet when the roll runs out and snaps from under you.

Don't say you haven't been warned.

TheSassyAssassin · 29/07/2019 11:24

There was a mumsnetter called Curly,
Her friend made her incredibly surly,
Her loo roll was under,
It made Curly chunder,
And she had to depart bloody early!

Puzzledandpissedoff · 29/07/2019 11:25

I've ... given her a lift to work for free for the last year

Well why didn't you SAY so?? What use is this kind of subject without context ... ??

Fizzypoo · 29/07/2019 11:28

I facilitated the education of my family on the correct way to hang the roll. If your family refuse to accept their hard won education then you should move out. Don't let other peoples ignorance ruin your life.

Yeah, she's dripfeeding like a leaky cistern.
