What is it with men and toilet roll?

[Keepthechangeyafilthyanimal1]

Went to the loo this morning to find DP had left ONE SQUARE of toilet roll on the tube. When confronted he said “I thought there was more left than that”. HOW can you get down to the cardboard of the roll but think there’s more left?! I never leave the toilet roll in that state and it pisses me off when it’s left like that for me to deal with.

I’m considering hiding the one square offering on it’s roll, and putting that back in the bathroom tomorrow for when DP goes. That’ll learn him, right? I’ve woken up in a proper grump this morning so I probably ABU

Same here OP. They use so much, and my DS blocks the toilet regularly. So frustrating. Putting the one square back is the least you can do.

Yes, put it back for him OP! I would

My 3 year old replaces the toilet roll when it runs out (takes a surprising amount of joy in it!) and I keep saying to DH why is it that she can do it but a man in his late 30s can’t

Mine are fine at replacing it but not so much at removing the cardboard to the bin

I think you might be married to my 10 year old

Er..... my husband is the one who changes our toilet roll. Not all men are are evidently useless as the ones regularly whinged about on here!

It's not so much abut usage with my lot as with not putting a new roll on. We have one roll on the holder and one on the shelf underneath (because all the spare ones are in a cupboard across the room and i got sick of having to hobble over to get a new roll and then clean up any drippage).

If i notice someone has put the new roll on but not got a new spare out, I'll do that because it is easy. If someone leaves and empty roll on the hanger I just start using the spare and wait for someone else to do it. (eventually someone does). But i now check before i use the toilet that there is toilet paper within reach.
