Does Your Husband Change The Toilet Paper Roll?

I cannot speak for others, but in every household I can remember, it is the women that are somehow averse to swapping out the TP roll. Moreover, it seems they will do everything EXCEPT change the role. They will take out a new one before the old one is finished, but not replace the old roll with the new role (they just leave the old one attached and set down the new one close by). I have concluded that women simply expect men to perform this task. When asked about it, however, they are somehow at a loss to explain this expectation. It's like they do it subconsciously, as if there is some predisposition in female genes which manifests itself in this manner. My (soon to be ex) gf also uses about 50% of a roll each day, which I think is very excessive. Moreover, she flushes the toilet an average of 3 times per visit. I cannot begin to fathom the environmental impact of such practices. Yet addressing such issues with a woman is like an American politician addressing the immigration issue - you are guaranteed to lose, so you might as well just accept things as is and move on. While one the subject, I'd like to ask an open question: how many of you RECYCLE the inner tube of a roll once all of the paper has been used? It is perfectly good recycling, yet most people simply discard it for no good reason. I guess people somehow believe that a roll which was in contact with CLEAN toilet paper (it doesn't get dirty until after it is removed from the roll, right?) is infested with germs. Tell ya what: I'll change the roll each and every time if: 1. I do not find any old rolls in the garbage, and 2. You wait until your business is all done, THEN flush the toilet.

Augggh! You have the "icecube" problem too?! I wonder everytime I walk into the kitchen. It must be the cats who are taking all the ice trays out and not refilling them! That's it.... *sigh!* ;)

I want to let you know - mine doesn't throw things away, either. I find everything on the counter. There are two or three spots where garbage accumulates, such as: old cups of 7-11 coffee, empty cans of soda, the flip tops off gallon milk jugs and half n' half cartons, old, used paper towels, and empty packets of Splenda. Every...time..I ..walk..in..the..kitchen, I have to scoop all of this junk up and throw it away! I did make a waterproof sign once, and put it in the spot where the most junk accumulated. Hurray, he'd see the sign, and he'd toss his stuff! Bah. After the sign got so ratty that I had to remove it, all that garbage just started up all over again! ;)

Logic, Darkzzt?!!! Ohmgod, you're one of two men who posted in this thread that actually sounded smart smart smart! I think that only the really smart men will post hee...for fear of retribution! (Even though we'd never do such a thing, really, I've got a "9" reputation to keep clean here.) :) You know we love you guys. Now go check the toilet roll and see if you can surprise your gals, men! :0 ***BTW: This is my first posting that ran over 5 replies, and I'm throwing a party! A toilet paper party, of course! Weeeeee! *toss* Thank you ALL for your wonderful responses! I'll wait overnight before awarding the winning post. You're all rated +++!
