Lockdown life is stressful enough without living with a toilet roll MONSTER

[StuffThem]

(Light hearted)

AIBU to ask if it's too much to bloody ask that the toilet paper is left on the holder the right bloody way round??

At least once, sometimes multiple times per day SOMEBODY changes it from it's correct way (end hanging down neatly and politely in front) to the dark and demonic inverse hang down the back like it's ashamed to be there.

This has ONLY happened during lockdown. for bloody years I've been the only fucker in the house who actually changed the toilet roll, I was the one who bought an extra pack for my brexit stash in 2016 which we were sodding grateful for during The Great 2020 Loo Roll shortage, and this, THIS is how I'm repaid.

I can't even.

What little things have nearly tipped you over the edge in your household?

Do you have any left handers in the house? My mum is left handed and always moves the toilet roll to the 'wrong' way. I forgive her though and put it back the right way

DH always hangs it the wrong way.
After 30 years of marriage I am not going to change him.
I just quietly rehang it the right way.
I did mention his dirty, disgusting habit to him a few days ago, he was surprised I find it dirty and disgusting 😁

I'm going to hell, aren't I?

There is a 'right' way around? Huh? What new insanity is this.

I have an actual toilet paper monster. Here it is

I forgive them 😂😂

Have this discussion with DH.

Me: is there a loo roll in accessible distance

DH: But is it turned the ‘right’ way around?

Ffs, if it’s a useable loo roll I don’t really care..:

There is a right way round: it's away from the possibly damp bathroom wall which the paper may stick to if hung incorrectly.

Some people think it looks neater and tucked away hanging next to the wall, but they are strange..

I saw a programme about inventions and stuff once and it appears that the patent for the toilet roll [1891!!!] was for the paper to hang at the front - NOT against the wall.
I've found this :-

www.amazon.co.uk/Toilet-Paper-Patent-Print-M11329/dp/B07JQHXYF1?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

See, the patent and sanitation agrees with me.

plus it just looks right

If my monster turns out to be a kitten I'd totally forgive them.

If they're more like fungus the bogeyman they can jog on.
