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)

All satisfying toilet-visiting experiences involve a Trump at some point during the proceedings.

Reportedly, Simon Cowell has black toilet paper.

As if the man weren't despised enough already....

madcatladyforever · 29/07/2019 19:54

That's how it should be. Anything else is common.

I have a friend i stay with 2-3 times a year. His loo roll is always the wrong way round. When I use the loo, I turn it round. Next time I go, it’s the wrong way again. So I turn it around again. Every. Single. Time.

My friend and I have never spoken about it. It’s been going on years...

MY EYES!!!!!!!! OMG, MY EYES!!!!!

Mumsymumphy · 29/07/2019 20:10

I'll be your friend's friend. We'd be known as the 'loo roll buddies' and will laugh contemptuously at all the little people who have the flappy bit of loo roll at the front. Heathens.

Babyfacemortified · 29/07/2019 20:16

Please don't get further involved by attempting to correct it as some have suggested, just get yourself to a place of safety as soon as possible!

nothingtowearever · 29/07/2019 20:21

I have it like this. It's a constant battle between me and my DH

shieldmaidenofrohan · 29/07/2019 20:28

Oh dear op, I feel for you. Pombear ?

ThatCurlyGirl · 29/07/2019 20:34

Just updating to say I'm safe and have logged it with 101. Waiting for a call back now...

I stayed in a hotel a few weeks ago and the toilet roll was like this, ruined a perfectly good day, luckily there wasn't a lot on it, so it ran out quickly.

MrsMoastyToasty · 29/07/2019 20:45

Your friend is obviously female/identifies as female.
A man would place the loo roll in one of the following ways

  1. Vertically on top of an empty roll
  2. On the floor
  3. On the cistern
  4. On the side of the bath or sink.

@ThatCurlyGirl saw this on Twitter and thought of you. Hope you don't have a relapse 😉

I do not understand the Front Flappers.

When positioned as shown, the end falls happily down and is easily accessible.

Flap-overs must claw at the roll to engage.AND if it's on a free standing holder, it may tip over and fall off and roll away. While you're still in need of the roll!

The proper way, as shown above, keeps all rebellion under wraps. No digging, no clawing. No stretching to pick up fallen loo roll holder. A dignified arrangement for all involved.[

MummyMayo1988 · 30/07/2019 18:01

My MIL and I stringing disagree about the way loo roll should be Grin I say over; she says under.
We change eachothers loo roll whenever we visit each other houses. It's our thing. Pretty sure my FIL is in on it too 🤷‍♀️😂

Tigerlilly17 · 30/07/2019 18:07

For anyone in doubt, the patent for the loo roll holder shows that the paper is over, not under, lol

bellinisurge · 30/07/2019 18:08

@MummyMayo1988 exactly tbe same scenario only ..., the other way around mwah ha hah!

LadyRannaldini · 30/07/2019 18:17

I do wish thatI had the time to get so uptight ablout total trivia, you're all very lucky people.

LadyRannaldini · 30/07/2019 18:20

When I use the loo, I turn it round. Next time I go, it’s the wrong way again. So I turn it around again. Every. Single. Time.

If I had such a rude, arrogant, self-opinionated 'friend' like you I would ensure there was none there at all next time you visited!!!

Dee94 · 30/07/2019 18:22

Your friend needs to run a mile away from you. You need to get a life. You are also a bad friend. Thank God I don’t have people like you in my life. There’s so much bad stuff going on in the world and you are so shocked by this? #first world problems.

Singlenotsingle · 30/07/2019 18:22

I used to think it should be under, then I thought it should be over. Then I forgot what I thought it should be, and now I don't know! Just be thankful she had some toilet roll at all!

Dee94 · 30/07/2019 18:24

Lady Rannaldini - exactly! Or I would put everything in the house in the wrong place;mugs, shoes, pillows everything, so she would never visit again.

DameSquashalot · 30/07/2019 18:27

Your friend has got it right!

Waterfallgirl · 30/07/2019 18:28

I don’t want to worry you OP but your friend doesn’t leave her washing out all night on the line does she?

madja · 30/07/2019 18:32

Waterfall, not mullet is what I was always taught!
