What the in the entire F are they doing with it?!

[Lex345]

Toilet roll.

I don't buy-excuse the pun-shit toilet roll. I buy the decent stuff, that's rolled out and on by puppies, or bounced on by Koalas, or chased around by kittens, or some other cutesy advertising rubbish that "justifies" the price.

THREE FUCKING ROLLS OF IT IN ONE DAY!!! And of course, NO ONE else could possibly think to change it when it is empty...nooooo, we will leave the saddest looking shred of macerated tissue perilously dangling off the barren brown roll until Mum does it.

WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH IT?!?

Writing poetry? Origami? Making some kind of elaborate early Hallowe'en costume?

Are they selling it on the black market?!

Light hearted thread. Ish.

I'm absolutely certain that teenage girls would not be using it for the same ( not toilet based) purposes as teenage boys !!

It's not just teenage boys. My Daughter used to go through rolls and rolls of the stuff.

Shit goblins 🤣🤣🤣🤣

On a side note, I made a huge decorative pyramid on the cistern out of all the cardboard inners that no-one else in the house seems to know what to do with. I thought someone would take the hint, but no…So I had to resort to reconstructing it on the closed lid, at which point someone (looking at you, dh!) actually did transfer it to the recycling!

Three full rolls gone in a day? Is someone eating it?!

Is it national spicy food week?
Don't teenage boys use socks any more?

That's just shockingly wasteful. I'd stop buying the nice stuff for them. Put out a stock of a cheaper type, then just bring the good one out of hiding when you need it. Stop refilling for them, as a PP suggested. They can do it themselves, from the supply of cheap roll.

OP, some people just use more than others. My husband has named loo paper ‘DD-roll’ because one of them uses it at such a prodigious rate. And I’m with you over the last poor mangled wizened sheet stuck to the cardboard that no-one can possibly change! And I did find a whole wrinkled roll in the bathroom bin where someone had evidently dropped it into the loo. So it’s not just your house, OP - up and down the country, teenagers and young adults are doing their bit to keep Kimberley-Clark in business.

Start getting more heavy duty loo paper. I rate Asda's own brand, I think it's called Shades. It's still soft, but it doesn't seem as think as the puppy stuff, so with any luck they'll take less.

Also tell them that in future you will be taking one third each of what you spend on loo paper and shampoo off their respective allowances as they use so much. It might make them think a bit if they have to pay for it.
