    Apparently I'm the only person in this house who knows how to change the toilet paper roll.

    Who changes the roll at your house?

    **I'm** the one who changes the roll 90% of the time.

    In fact, if I see it's getting low, I'll take it off, put on the new roll and sit the almost done roll on top of it.

    'Cause there's nothing worse than realizing AFTER you've done your business that there's an empty roll. LOL

    lol! I'm not always THE person who changes it- but I AM the person who fixes it so that the paper comes off over the top, NOT under EVERY DANG TIME! :giggle

    It does seem like if I didn't change, I'm doing this. LOL And I wonder why my family thinks I have control issues. Hmphf. I just like things the way I like them.

    I like it coming over the top too, but lately I'm happy if it just gets put on there.

    Well, I do it 100% of the time. I don't think the puppy would do it for me.... emptying it for me is another story! :giggle

    There was some free wordart available the other day on Creative Fabrica that said "Changing the toilet roll does not cause brain damage" that I hung up on the door as a reminder. Result: My son wrote next to it "yes, it does cause brain damage" and goes on not changing the roll. Worse, if the roll is empty a new one is taken (not actually put where it belongs) and the empty roll is left on the floor behind the toilet.

    It's my son's job to stock up the toilet roll pole. It holds three spares. He's supposed to do it when it gets to 1 roll, but is usually actively prompted when the last one is in use. I'm assuming that whoever starts the new roll each time replaces it on the hanger, but empty tube is likely to hang around.

    9.7 times out of 10 this task falls to me. I make sure to have extra rolls at the ready in our bathrooms, and still the other family members are content to leave it unchanged. They just leave the empty there and put the extra roll on the toilet basin. It boggles.

    This is closely related to the not-putting-their-dishes-in-the-dishwasher sickness my family has as well.

    Hmmm... I only use my bathroom. I rarely go into the boys bathroom beyond when we need to clean, spot check here and there, or someone is going to visit. DH uses that bathroom with them, so I'm thinking he changes it? No clue. I am curious now. I must ask him.

    I always change my bathroom TP. I seem to always be the one who finishes it. It relatively easy - slide on and off. None of those annoyed side buttons. You know the ones I mean?!

    I make the boys check the bathroom weekly to re-stock both of them with TP. It's reachable when you are using the facilities, but if the TP was in the basement, it's not so reachable. :giggle

    Well, we both do it 50/50. DH has his own bathroom and I have mine. So, he changes his and I change mine. Now that DD and GS are living with us, sometimes that varies. LOL

    Me, usually. Yesterday I changed the roll in the kids' bathroom and in our bathroom. It's frustrating but at least I know it will be put on the right way (over!!). :)

    No one knows, it's never happened :giggle

    It's 99.9% of the time me at my house. And quite honestly, sometimes I'm bad about it myself and just set it on top.

    This made me giggle! That said, I have SOLVED this problem.
    I have cute little metal baskets in our bathrooms filled with a few TP rolls. Once it's done, you just throw the empty to the left (in the trash) instead of to the right (back in the basket).

    Honestly, it's made me a happier person :giggle

    The 10yr old & I change it. The 7yr old & 41yr old do not.
    I used to be an under roll person. When I got older I was like "If over is what works for hotels, then that's what works for me." Lol.
