Standard toilet paper etiquette is flush the used bits.

My brother did that all the time. I just wanted to strangle him. With the toliet paper.

You’d have to get that extra tough Charmin tissue for that.
The other day a co-worker had been complaining about not having enough to do all day and being bored. She was the only person on duty, she left and I had to use the restroom, as soon as I walked in the restroom (before I did anything, thank goodness) I saw that both rolls were empty and there were no spares. Now she was the only person there for 8 hours so I know she had to have used the last of it. If you’re so bored then there’s a couple minutes worth of stuff to do - replace the toilet paper!

Mr. Cat does it too. What pisses me off is that he sits the new roll on the edge of the sink. Sometimes the edge of the sink is wet because he gets it wet and doesn’t dry it :smack: . So now there’s a spankin’ new roll of TP with a soggy edge :eek: .
And a cootch that needs dry paper, sigh.
As a lazy, single, typical man I don’t change the TP when I finish it. But since I’m slightly more evolved, I will throw a new roll into the bathroom for the next time. That way, while I’m ‘going’ I can change the roll. It must appeal to me by getting 2 things done at once.
In public I’m a different person and do what’s right. Change it if possible, let someone know if it’s not.
At school we have the double sided toilet paper holders where a second roll is beside the first roll, but under a metal shield. like this one
I keep threatening to write up and post a “guide to changing the roll” and post it on the inside of the stall doors.
The secret is to tear off/unroll the cardboard core. Once that’s gone the new roll slides into the place of the old roll.

Cat training is a good reason not to have the roll in the dispenser, but after using it a while like that it seems easier also. Yes it takes 2 hands, one to hold the roll, via the center ‘hole’, but it’s just more convenient to use that way.
[/QUOTE]
Absolutely. It is more convenient, which is why I’ll never replace it at home out of choice. The hanging thing on the wall is for other people.
And if I use up the roll and there’s no more obviously available, no, I will not inform the guest. Yes, I might have used half a roll, but they only left half a roll. I don’t feel I should have to warn them of possible unpleasant ‘unpredictabilities’ in advance, and I’m quite happy for them to work out for themselves that they, errrrr, left themselves in the shit (tee hee)

Do you mean that you won’t inform the host?
And you’re annoyed because they “only” left half a roll? You use half a roll at one sitting? For real? How often do you have to call the Roto-Rooter man?
I agree with the others–if I’m at someone’s house, and I use the last, I replace it. If there is not a roll out, I will peek under the sink to see if there is some right there. If not, I will always inform the host.
In my home, I do try to leave some out if there will be a lot of people over or if it is close to the end of the roll. I also make sure to keep my extra toilet paper in the obvious under-the-sink spot in case someone needs to find it. (I also keep my sanitary supplies there in case a female guest finds herself in need.)

They were probably serving hot wings, chili and coffee. They should have known better and had an adequate supply of T.P..
I leave a stack of toilet paper rolls as high as I can stack it on the tank. This peaks at about 12 rolls (4 rolls high). About every 3 rolls one actually makes it onto the holder. I’m a dude, and I live by myself. I try to mention it to the host if I use the last bit of toilet paper.

Only on certain occassions, yes. But that’s why I don’t feel I should have to go around advertising it (and yeah, I know it’s a bit out of order to do this…)
Around here TP doesn’t go in the holder, mainly because said holder is broken. But we do try to take another one out from under the sink if we use the last. Sadly, I am often guilty of not doing so. But he often forgets to put the toilet seat down, so I figure we’re even

Or towels… Your post reminded me of that old (missing?) thread where the poster’s mother had her friends come over. One of the friends was obese and had issues with wiping after her business. The friend took a towel out of the middle of the stack and folded and replaced it after she was done. :eek:
[/QUOTE]
Oh god, that thread was hilarious! (I mean, not for the towel owner. But for everybody else.)

There was a marvelous opening to “Mad About You” where Paul was in a chair reading the paper. Jamie came in with the empty roll on the toilet paper holder and a full role. She then proceeded to show Paul how to take the empty roll off and put the full one on, then shrugged and nodded.
Paul looked disgusted.
No words were spoken, but you knew Jamie had faced the dilemna of having a husband who apparently does not know how to replace a toilet paper roll.

Marvelous is right, that little vignette was really, really funny.
But I think what happened is she hustled in with the air of someone who’d been caught without TP for the millionth time, held up the paper in one hand, the holder in the other, stuck the holder in the roll, and said voila!. I loved the opening bit to that show, like in Cheers, where you just got a world of information about those two characters in a hysterically funny ten seconds.
She did it again!!! Today!! Erugh! We don’t have a janitor as another doper does, as there is only 3 of us in the office. Usually only 2. Me and HER. I said that I don’t want to be perceived as a toilet paper nazi but if I have to replace another roll - I’m going to use her cardigan. By the way, see a previous thread, it’s the boss’s daughter. And HE does the same thing. Oh! I’m working with a tp impaired family!

The answer is, take the toilet paper with you. Maybe she’ll start seeing things your way when she’s sitting there and there’s no toilet paper at all!
