Am I the only one...?

I ask myself this question every other day. I am I the only one who can change a roll of toilet paper in this house? I am constantly amazed to find empty rolls left on countertops in all three bathrooms. The empty rolls don't even make it to the garbage! My family can go weeks just rolling the paper off the roll and putting it back ON THE COUNTER! I am thinking of having a family meeting and demonstrating how to squeeze the holder together, fitting the roll on the holder, squeezing it again to put it back in place. There have been times when I have seen how may rolls accumulate. Three was all I could take.

Question: Is my family the only toilet paper impaired one out there??!!

Not toilet paper here, but I know that I am the only one who can pick dirty laundry off of the floor and throw it in the hamper. Also I am the only one around here who knows how to make the bed. But I am sure that I have annoying qualities too, so I put up with it. If that's the worst, then I will take it.

I hear you on the beds. The toilet paper thing has always baffled me because as a kid I used to love changing the roll. Genetic mutation I guess. And yes, life is good if that is my big complaint.

Cheryl -

I soo relate! For me it's TP AND Papertowels. The Paper towel holder will remain empty for weeks if I don't replace it. I usually send one of my girls to get them, though - and they stomp out to the garage and grudgingly hand it over. I figure it's payback for the tp paper...
 
I think in the 8+ years at this firm, I have been the only female, other than cleaning staff, to change the damn toilet paper. AMAZING!
 
I am the only one who can pick up dirty clothes, empty AND load the dishwasher, and put the cap back on the toothpaste. I once let the dishes go to see if he would do it, but after I couldn't see over them, I gave up.
 
OMG Cheryl, I am constantly impressed by DH's ability to use just a scrap of a square rather than completely empty a roll. LOL

To be fair, though, I know that I attended a family meeting my mom called on this subject when I was a kid. :D

I guess that means there is hope for the females in your family?
 
Females in my family?! With four daughters and the ever dreaded fear of getting anything on the hands just may be the reason we have this toilet paper delemia.

Don't forget all the empty cereal boxes and such in the pantry and fridge! Like, no one can figure that one out. And then the garbage cans, can no one empty it on their own? Oh! And then there's garbage day. Absolutely no one can remember that day! And it's funny how they can all live out of the dishwasher, never once crossing their minds of maybe putting the dishes away. It's goes on and on...
 
My sister and I apparently never did the tp roll growing up, either. I tell you, there is hope. Now I'm the only one who ever does change it!! :)
 
Aaaaaaaah, yes, and that reminds me of THIS;)

How many women with PMS does it take to screw in a light bulb?

One. ONE!! And do you know WHY it only takes ONE? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb. They don’t even know the bulb is BURNED OUT. They would sit in this house in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it OUT. And once they figured it out they wouldn’t be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they’ve been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past SEVENTEEN YEARS.

But if they did, by some miracle, actually find the light bulbs, TWO DAYS LATER the chair that they dragged from two rooms over to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE CRUMPLED WRAPPER THE STUPID @*!#$% LIGHT BULBS CAME IN! WHY?! BECAUSE NO ONE IN THIS HOUSE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!

IT’S A WONDER WE HAVEN’T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE

THAT ARE 12 FEET DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS... I’m sorry... what did you ask me

I asked my husband the same question. There is only 2 people in the house. You would think the tp can make it from the closet to the bathroom holder with no problem. however, its everywhere... on the tub, floor, sink. One time it was under the tp holder.

I told him if he kepts it up we will be using banana leaves....

Ah yes...I believe the tp dilemma has existed since the dawn of mankind...or at least the dawn of toilet paper!!! My DH will leave empty rolls of TP, or paper towels, out until I throw them in the garbage, or until the cats decide to make them their toys and roll them under my table. It could be worse...I'm trying to break my DH of his super-annoying habit of leaving his banana peels on the counter. The garbage is one foot away. Literally!!!!

I am the only one who can

a) make the bed,

b) take empty food cans and yogurt cups OFF the kitchen counter INTO the recycle bin,

c) rinse those recycle things,

and d) hang up jackets instead of dropping them on the floor wherever they're taken off,

oh and e) put shoes on our shoe shelves after we take them off (instead of leaving them wherever they get taken off),

oh and f) I'm not the ONLY one who can take out the kitchen garbage, but I'm apparently the best at it.

All this said with a big smile, 'cause I do love my loved ones!
