TP Trouble

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Keep it in your room and carry it with you to the BR.

ed11563 · Guru

When DS1 had several house mates who never bought food (or anything else) and used HIS food and dishes and pots,

he learned to lock everything up. (Except his dishes and pots, he just stopped using them and left them where the others did,

dirty in the sink).

A roll of TP can be carried from her room to the bathroom, and the room mate can use whatever the room mate bought.

Bingo. She's a graduate student and had to write to an advice columnist to figure this out? Not very smart.

Geez just buy the kind you like and be done with it. Keeping it in the bedroom seems kind of childish to me. It's not like tp is all that expensive.

I don't get it. If you want a particular something, you provide it.

You don't get to demand others buy it.

When DN lived in a college type apartment with three room mates she kept most of her stuff in her room. Locked up. Three of the four girls got along and one was always fighting with someone. People using her stuff was never an issue. But she would come home and every dish would be dirty and no one ever cleaned. She got tired of it.

How could you NOT be moved to tears by this:

She ends up buying the cheapest option available and in very small quantities, which is both rough on my tush and leads to wiping panic when we run out.

THE HORROR!!!!!

No, she'd already figured it out. She wanted to vent, she wanted someone else to tell her she's right, and maybe she wanted a newspaper clipping to tape to her room mate's door.

I hate cheap toilet paper too. That's one thing you don't want to skimp on. I Quilted Northern is my favorite brand but when Sam's doesn't have it we buy Charmin.

And if you need someone to validate your TP choices or tell you what to do about it then you don't need to be in grad school.

I did not know Charmin was incompatible with septic tanks. Probably because I don't have one!

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I don't blame her for being ticked about the TP. Good TP is expensive. We pay about $20-25 for our big pack of TP at Sam's. We don't buy the cheap kind. I wouldn't want mine replaced by cheap stuff. So I get her being upset. I just don't get where she's so dumb this has to be an advice columnist letter.

We use only Charmin and have a septic system and have never had any issues and I did check with a friend who owns a septic tank pumping business. He said it is fine.

We liked Cottonelle, until Spouse noticed that the rolls were getting narrower and narrower. And she had to use more and more sheets to compensate.

Switched to Quilted Northern for a while, then it too get narrower and narrower.

Every plumber, the house inspector, and our septic tank guy all say no Charmin. Also - when we did use Charmin we noticed a lot of lint clogging up our vent fan.

Interesting, are you on your own septic system or a shared one? we have our own. At one time we had all 5 kids living at home, flushing away and have only had to pump ours once in the almost 10 years we have lived in our current house. KNOCK ON WOOD (and the side of the stool) we have never had any problems or issues

You know you're old when you weigh the benefits of going out with the suffering of wearing a bra.

We have our own. At the last house, too.

It just doesn't break down as easily as other papers. It takes longer to disintegrate, which can cause clogging and back-ups. Perhaps you have very good enzymes in your septic tank.

Then they must not act much like guys.

i lived with a couple of guys in college. one guy bought cleaning supplies, TP, and such--and if we owed him money, he let us know.

Ive never heard of normal, straight guys ever having an issue dealing with this.

I used Cottonelle for years until I got a bad batch 2-3 years ago. It literally had splinters of wood in it. I switched to Angel Soft. My friend didn't switch & swears it never happened again. She also got some of the bad batch. A few weeks ago when my water heater died I used her shower & her toilet paper. OMG I forgot how soft Cottonelle is. I decided immediately to switch back.

I have had male & female roommates. I have never had a TP issue because the house had 4 bathrooms & I had my own. But if any of my roommates ate my personal leftovers I would have been pissed off & let them know it. If it happened again I would have punched them square in the face. The end. I lived with multiple roommates with a frequently changing combination of people & this never happened ever.

I am not talking about communal leftovers like a batch of spaghetti or whatever. That was always there for the taking. Whoever eats the last of it has to wash the container & don't be an azzhole & leave just a tiny bit so you don't have to wash the dish.

Wow. Your kid has issues. Apple/tree. Of course you don't leave leftovers in a house full of dudes. That has nothing to do with TP, though.

Got nothing to do with being old. I've been making that calculation since I was twenty.

As for TP, I am loyal to Angel Soft with Quilted Northern an acceptable substitute. All the others are either too linty and flimsy or rough and unpleasant.
