Oh, come ON, now!!!!
Seriously!
Very helpful. Just one extra minute, is all it would take.
And this one musta thought they were being twice as helpful:
Happy weekend, everyone! May there be a little less baseball in yours than there will be in mine. I'll be back Monday (-ish) with contest results and a big thank you for all the awesome bloggy love.

The folks over at humor-blogs raise families who put the toilet paper rolls ALL the way on the thingies.

Ah, family... Can't live with 'em, can't flush 'em

Yeah.... My husband maintains that the toilet paper holder is not as easy as grabbing the roll free hand. It's the bizarrest thing. Love that they put two on there for you!
My kids' bathroom is even worse. They managed to tear the toilet paper holder out of the wall, which left a big hole. So my husband patched and repaired it and hung and new holder. Which got ripped out AGAIN. So now the wall is patched but without a hold, and the roll of toilet paper just wanders around the bathroom.
I try not to go in there much.
But the real question is, do they hit the potty when they pee?
Count your blessings. My kids attempt to put on the new tp while they are sitting on the potty and then they drop the spindle into the toilet. The unflushed toilet...
Hey, happens in my house too and NO children live here any more!! But isn't it worse when "they" leave two lonely little sheets clinging fiercely to the cardboard roll and you only realize it when you are perched on the loo and new roll is at the far end of the bathroom?!
Looks SO familiar! But I have to agree with nannisandi! At least they set a new roll out, much worse to have to waddle with your pants around your knees to the cabinet for a new roll!
At first glance, I honestly didn't see what was wrong with the picture - it's such a familiar site around my home. And at the office. And at my parents' home...
I just can't let it bug me anymore.
That said, I do still fix it whenever I see ;-)
Yeah, but isn't having the toilet paper NOT on the holder better than no toilet paper...and some damp bath towels?
When Leslie and I were on the road doing our show, she complasined about this constantly in her act. She used to say that if men were smarter they would have figured out that putting it on the roll was foreplay for women.
Missed you! DON'T GO AWAY AGAIN.
When I saw the first roll holder, I thought, geez, she's some posh lady to have such a fancy schmancy toilet roll holder.
Then you redeemed yourself with the second one. Love a bit of metal art, especially when it's of a person sitting on the loo reading the paper!
(also, have to also congratulate your family on at least trying to replace the roll - doesn't happen in my household unless I do it...sigh).
I am willing to be that even the families of the folks at humor-blogs do NOT put the toilet paper on the spindle.
Someone was too kind, replacing the roll. Heck, rarity anyone but me puts toilet paper in that room. Yes, obviously TOO CHALLENGING for some in our home, sigh.
I swear I just went to the bathroom and saw the EXACT same thing in my own house.
At least Hubby actually got a new roll this time.
I replaced most of our toilet paper holders with the kind that are just a bar and all it takes is for someone to slide the roll onto it? I am STILL the only one who changes the roll. WTF?
Sorry about the baseball.
it never ceases to amaze me how that one little action seems so hard to manage!
I got one that just sort of hangs off the wall (like a capital J). It's increased the odds of toilet paper hanging off it. Up to like, 5%.
Looks familiar. I call it job security.

Damn! I wish I would have thought to take a picture of the 3 apple slices left in an 18"X6" fruit tray that was put back in the refrigerator!
With 3 apple slices in it.
Three.Skinny ones.
the other day my son watched me clean the downstairs bathroom and said "so that's how you clean a bathroom!" made me feel like the worst mom ever--like I really need to introduce the concept of cleaning to them because, I swear, I'm not going to do this for them forever. :)
If they're getting rolls of paper, at least it means they're USING paper. Step One.
They did better than I do. If I know the roll needs to be replaced, I just lob a new one in the direction of the toilet and let the next person (sometimes it's me) put it on the holder. But I figure, at least I provide the next person with paper.
Ah yes, the dreaded toilet paper roll wars. Somehow, I seem to be the only one in this house capable of taking the old roll off and putting on a new one. A close second is putting the recyclable bottles and cans in the bins, everyone else in this house seems to think that recyclables placed on the counter somehow magically fly out to the garage and end up in the bins.
No wonder I knit, keeps me from drinking.
honest to engine (did i really just say that?) they make me SOOO mad when they do that. do i HAVE to do EVERYTHING?!
more games TODAY. urgh.
When were you in my bathroom?
And ya know what? It wouldn't even take a minute. 10 seconds tops.
Why is this such a universal problem? Why?! WHY?!! (shakes fist at unresponsive sky)
oh yes, completely unacceptable.
I've been a bad blogger and come round to find toilet tissue...hmmm-lol!
Sigh... it's pitiful, isn't it?! Why do we allow this to happen?
I thought my kids were the ONLY kids that put the roll of tissue on top of the empty roll. That drives me crazy! I thought about not putting any tissue in the bathroom. Just take it with me when I go. Then when they go, they'll just sit there and holler for me, and I'll ignore them. That'll teach them. Yeah right!
My husband will use the Kleenex before he'll replace the roll.
