I Hate Running Out of Toilet Paper!



I know, you want to hear about the tri-athalon but first things first. Toilet paper. I have big issues with it. I hate running out of toilet paper. I will buy hoards of toilet paper and stack them in my bathroom just so I can guarantee that there will be no shortage of toilet paper.

I start to see the pile reaching less than half way and I am stocking it up again like a display of canned goods in the grocery store. Do NOT mess with my tower of toilet paper.

This morning, someone in management didn't do their job. I won't point any fingers but I think it is the same person who can't seem to remember to put a new roll of toilet paper on when the old runs out.....

I was sitting in my office minding my own business when horror of horrors......I go to grab some toilet paper and there is maybe one swipe left on the roll! Nooooooo! I HATE RUNNING OUT OF TOILET PAPER! I hear my bedroom door open. I'm in luck! Help is on the way!! Levi walks around the corner....... great.

Well, desperate times call for desperate measures. I ask Levi if he could go and get me some more toilet paper in the other bathroom. I show him the few squares I have left and that I need some more. He smiles his big smile at me and walks out of the bathroom (the kid still does not understand privacy). A minute later he comes back with about five squares of toilet paper......

I thank him and exasperated tell him that I need the whole roll! I take off the now empty roll of toilet paper and show it to him. "See? All gone! I need another one."

Levi gives me another smile and tells me, "Sure!". About a minute later he comes in with a huge smile and hands me another empty roll of toilet paper.......

  3. I love it. He brings you an empty roll. (sound of me laughing). But I sober up. Sometimes I feel like heaven listens in much that same way. Or maybe not heaven - but certainly fate.

  4. LOL - sorry to laugh at your expense! How absolutely AWFUL! :o I too... can't stand the thought of running out of TP. And so, I bought a laundry basket with a lid, and in it, I stash a huge pile of TP rolls... right there in the bathroom. You see, growing up, we resorted to using wash cloths FAR TOO OFTEN! TP is something I just won't do without! ...so sorry for your traumatic incident! ;)

  7. Flushable baby wipes....my men folk won't touch those with a barge pole! I even buy those 3 rolls in 1 so I don't have to run out of paper....but it still happens!

    Good tip....check the resources first, that comes from experience!!

  8. Misty, A Native with a pillow case over their head. One can't just walk in and close their eyes, they have to be dramatic.

    Kristen, I hear ya loud and clear on this one. Sobering indeed!

    Jody, I know. Sad isn't it? The Native's have gone back to school so I should have oodles of time right? I have time like I've got TP!!!

    Anon, I complain no more. You've got me beat!

    Chastina, I have several stashes. I can't stand running out of things.

    Anaise, :D It really was.

    Anon, Yeah baby! Been there. Done that!

    Baa, I have plenty of those but they were in the other bathroom. Of course!

  11. sounds like he left you a pile of TP on the floor in the other bathroom. Don't you hate it when kids unroll the whole roll & you have to roll it back up! Just remember, you told him to do it. You wanted another one just like the one you were holding :)
