It's not funny. Not one FREAKIN' BIT! ;)

You can always post a sign (I've seen one in a catalog) that says:

"Changing the toilet paper roll does not cause brain damage"

[Trudie]

My SO used to just put the new roll on the floor - I put it back in the cupboard - he - I he - I - he finally took the hint. But I need to do this every couple of months, sort of like re-training...

[bichonpawz]

You are SO right! It really IS like that in my house too!!

[Mary Alice]

That just hits too close to home.

[Suzanne]

Oh my gosh. Isn't that the TRUTH!!!!!

[Jen on the Edge]

This is so strange -- I was just thinking about this very topic about one minute before I checked your blog for updates. The TP Fairy in our house is about to go on strike too.

[jenn]

wow. i have never really thought of myself as a fairy before. hmmmm...

lol

[stephanie (bad mom)]

Oh that is rich.

I'm having this very issue lately - things I want done a certain way that will not get done that way if I leave them to other people...Other people who needs to learn how to manage themselves & their surroundings.

It's a conundrum - I want stuff the way I want it, but I cannot be as old as that woman & still having this argument!

[Angie @ Keep Believing]

Those are really funny, especially the toilet paper fairy one.

Wait a second.

They aren't funny at all.

My sons are guilty. The empty tube remains on the holder, they start using a new roll which then sits on the counter. What gives? They are clever kids who can figure out the remote and the computer, why can't they figure out how to change the toilet paper?

[Memarie Lane]

A friend of mine tried keeping a spare roll on the back of the toilet so it would very very easy and convenient for people to put in the new roll. Instead they'd just take what they needed and return it to the back of the toilet.

How funny - so true!

Have a good day - Kellan

Is there such a thing as stuttering in typing...because that's what i'm doing right now!!! What the hell?? The 1 man and 2 boys in this house actually told me that "Mommy does it the right way." We actually have a stand full of extra rolls...but I'll find a new one either on the floor (YUCK!) or balanced on the sink...it's about 1 more foot guys...just stick in on the holder!!! aaarrrggghhh!!

You're getting these from the "funny papers" right?!?!?!:-D
At least I'm not the only one experiencing this phenom!!!

[Karen]

I had to pass the last one around to the family I was laughing so hard! Thanks!

[Melanie]

Yep, same thing going here too. What's with men and boys? Now that I'm a SAHM it irritates me even more. It's as though because I don't do my "job" in an office and I'm home so much during the day, then I must have all the time in the world for cleaning up. Grrr! Maybe I should blog about it rather than hijack your space!

Sometimes we challenge to see who screams the loudest. "WHO WAS THE LAST...."

[Tina]

Oh, my goodness - I'm so glad you found me! Love your blog. You sound like the west coast version of me, except for the ironing thing. You really need to get over that...

[Kalynne Pudner]

Hey, I'd rather be the Toilet Paper Fairy than the Plunger Fairy, which is what I get to be when they just use the paper towel (stashed under the sink for daily Swish'n'Swipe -- AS IF!) instead.

By the way, Jenn, a supersized "Brava!" to your comment to MCMM's "17 in Gloucester."

[Kristen]

And isn't it always us Mom's who end up sitting there staring at the empty roll, wondering what the hell we are gonna do now??

[Sue @ My Party of 6]

I started paying myself a quarter every time I change the roll. (Which is EVERY time the roll needs to be changed.) I was amazed at how much money I'm making.

[Jozet at Halushki]

BAH!!!! Omg, that is too true! And I like Sue's idea of paying myself a quarter every time I change a roll. We'll be in Disney in no time, lol.

[The Girl Next Door]

So true and so sad it's funny...

[Tammi]

I'm so glad I only share the bathroom with Hubby. BTW, I suck at putting the roll on, and he does it oh so well. Don't know why.

[Manic Mommy]

But the roll's not empty if there is still *a square* left on the core. So why change it?

[Janet]

same thing at work, only it's paper towels...

LOVE your new blog design!

[teresa (maggiegracecreates)]

How absolutely funny - but I will say that if anyone at my threw the "qualification" line - I would just keep changing the roll. That particular line is priceless.

The first home we bought didn't have AC and truth be told, most days we wouldn't need it. When we bought our second home, it already had AC. During the recent AC fiasco (where I broke the unit, remember?), my husband actually apologized to me for never getting AC in the old house. He said, "after all, it was during your pregnancies that you could have used it the most!"

Your new blog design is awesome. She did a lovely job :)
