What fresh hell is this?!

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)

I have too much time on my hands, obvs!

@Homeallday said At least it’s white, my (not so d)H brought home yellow once.
Mine is… beige?
I ordered bamboo toilet paper online, and had a bit of a brain fart. Got a whole bloody pallet of the stuff. 160 rolls of non-white toilet paper. Grin

Someone once bought loo roll patterned with little red flowers.

Gave me scares every single time.

What sane person thinks decorating loo roll with some red blob like flowers is OK?

SlocombePooter · 29/07/2019 13:25

DH and I are very particular about preferred pronouns. A common person has just referred to us as 'im and 'er.

I am sat sitting here in floods of tears.

BTW I do have health anxiety.

I've nominated this thread for classics, maybe it will help prevent future generations from suffering as we have

A noble move, but has anyone else got visions of MNHQ staff rushing to their loos to make sure no faux pas have taken place? Grin

@ThatCurlyGirl fingers crossed for a good outcome at the hospital (and can you just nip in to make sure their paper's the right way round? Wink)

@TixieLix That is brilliant!

I was just chuckling along to this and then I read this

Whatever you do, please don't look in her kitchen cupboards. You may find she's stored her cups and glasses rim side down!!

I do this

I'll get my coat

AnneKipanki · 29/07/2019 13:49

Wow , @TixieLix , such skill .
Do you do this every day , and each time you go to the loo. ?

slipperyeel · 29/07/2019 13:51

I know I’m not in the majority but I think that’s the right way to do it, that way it is tucked out of the way.
The usual way screams “LOOK AT ME EVERYONE I’M TOILET ROLL”

So, so vulgar.

Youseethethingis · 29/07/2019 13:55

I only discovered my DH (of about 6 week now) hangs loo roll the wrong way AFTER we got married and moved into our first home together. We didn’t have a proper holder in my old house.

It was SO upsetting to find this out about someone I thought I knew inside out. I briefly considered divorce. Seriously. 😩

SlocombePooter · 29/07/2019 14:00

yousee I think fairly new marriages can be annulled for breaches of toilet etiquette. See a lawyer pronto.

Yoohoo womble

Bumbag45 · 29/07/2019 14:05

My H (I can’t call him D in this scenario) does this DELIBERATELY as he knows it annoys me. I can cite this in divorce proceedings yes?

ThatCurlyGirl · 29/07/2019 14:06

@Bumbag45

You know the score - always half an hour free consultation.

Or on your house insurance.

But did you… just stick it on your toilet brush handle? @Youseethethingis

DogHasEatenTheSqueaker · 29/07/2019 14:09

Ah, give your mate a break, there’s prob a logical explanation for her lapse in judgement.

Maybe it was hurriedly shoved on just before you arrived. It may have just come back from a minibreak to the bedroom with their penis beaker...? 😂

Snipples · 29/07/2019 14:16

OP your friend is showing you who she is. Listen.

petrocellihouse · 29/07/2019 14:27

@ChardonnaysPrettySister Izal might be good for origami but it’s like using a cheese grater if you’ve got Farmer Giles!

JustAnotherPoster00 You can’t do that!! It’s a well known scientific fact that cups and glasses need to be aired. It also means you can peek in over the rim first before getting them out of the cupboard to make sure no spiders have built a nest under the mug! Not that this ever happened to me..... Shock

ThatCurlyGirl · 29/07/2019 14:28

@JustAnotherPoster00 @ChardonnaysPrettySister

ALWAYS peek when there's a rim involved. Always. 😉

Your friend is wrong, and I always change it because I'm just rude like that.

I will say however, that it's on the correct way if there are cats in the house. When it's backwards like that, cats can't unroll the whole thing by spinning it.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 29/07/2019 14:38

We didn’t have a proper holder in my old house.

A hook? Did you have a hook?

Youseethethingis · 29/07/2019 14:51

We balanced the loo roll on top of the radiator - it was too small a loo to bother with anything else Blush
Happy to live now in a world where loo roll holders are wall mounted, correct and proper, but oh the shame of a backwards hanging husband...

mrsw2 · 29/07/2019 14:55

Confused If I see it anywhere I change it. I did it at my daughter's house on Saturday Grin

1forAll74 · 29/07/2019 15:19

I would immediately turn it round. I could never sit on the loo and face this kind of horror. And it's white as well !! mine is cream to match the paintwork !

SlocombePooter · 29/07/2019 16:55

Actually I'm still a bit shaky after seeing that. Careful what you click on!
