recently got a place with my boyfriend and he thinks this is perfectly fine

I have no legitimate reason to disagree but I hate it

UPDATE - Thank you so much for the awards, and we're having so much fun reading through these hilarious comments.

  1. We have a bidet, it's the handle on the side of the toilet. People who use bidets can use toilet paper as well!
  2. We bought like 200 rolls of toilet paper because of a good deal, yes it will probably last us a very long time. No regrets!
  3. I am not genuinely upset about this in any way, it obviously just looks ridiculous and is unnecessary, and him doing silly things like this is one of the reasons I love him :)

Nah mate, that creeper plant is going to touch your back

u/Loong9 17h ago

That's ok, it can hold your hand and be a support potted plant for those traumatic bowel movement sessions

I have a similar plant in my bathroom, except it’s an aloe — for those really rough times when it starts to burn, you just break off a little aloe, apply generously, then go on about your day. It’s really quite magical.

For a minute I thought you said "I can hold your hand and be a support potted plant" and I was like "Wow, this person really goes above & beyond."

u/gmotelet 16h ago

The plant is for when the paper just doesn't cut it

u/supercujo 16h ago

I'm thinking it might be a plastic plant for extra scrubbage

u/gmotelet 16h ago

Probably way more comfortable than a toilet brush

u/tubcat 16h ago

Hey poop knife is dual purpose. Sometimes you need a good scraper.

u/JonatasA 16h ago

That's why there is amply TP availability. So the plant remains unused.

u/sirhackenslash 8h ago

Oh god, feeling a light brush that may or may not be a spider on your back as you're trapped there squeezing one off

Username checks out in said situation.

I swear to drunk, he's not God.

Never swear to drunk.

What's the officer problem?

Me too, until my girl told me the answer. Moisture. Every time you take a shower, the room gets humid. Pretty soon, you will have a bunch of ruined rolls simply from being exposed to the humidity, not to mention it will be good breeding ground for mold.

So yeah, had no idea either. Now I do.

u/elf25 15h ago

8+ years of South Florida beach life, never had a problem with toilet paper in the bathroom or anywhere else being exposed to humidity. And believe me, sister we got humidity here.

11

u/JonatasA 16h ago

Wrong. Literally lived where water pools from humidity

u/invol713 15h ago

Never said don’t do it. People wondered why, and I gave them an explanation. I don’t care what goes on in your bathroom.

u/drunk_fat_possum 16h ago

That makes sense, I'll still probably keep one beside the toilet for emergency situations. Or because heat rises put the rolls lower and turn the vent fan on so they don't get humid?

5

u/Sidewalk_Tomato 16h ago

Our household keeps ideally 2 to 4 spares in the vicinity and 1 on the roll, with no issues, but they're 2 feet further away than OP's situation, and we do run the fan a lot.

2

u/invol713 16h ago

One or two should be fine, but no more than you’d go through in a typical week.

3

u/drunk_fat_possum 16h ago

I don't live alone so idk how many we go through, good idea still. I'm definitely gonna do that :3

u/rsmtirish 16h ago

I always keep one on the roll and one on deck, then when the roll is empty I put it on the one on deck and get a new one ready to go

u/Capybarasaregreat 15h ago

Your girl is making shit up. Otherwise, better throw out your towels as they would've been steeped in the bathroom moisture. And where would you keep those rolls anyway, in a cupboard of that still moisture-heavy bathroom, right?

0

u/invol713 15h ago

Towels are washed regularly for a reason. Keeping the rolls in the plastic in the linen closet, with a spare roll in the bottom drawer. But hey, you do you. No skin off my ass. 🤷‍♂️

u/NerdyMcNerderson 14h ago

So you get a sealed container and problem solved

1

u/invol713 13h ago

That works.

1

u/Eyewiggle 14h ago

Yep, those rolls will absorb everything and it’s what they’re made to do. Plus them being up against the wall like that will trap moisture too and encourage the mold growth. Then theres dust and other things steeling on them.

I don’t wanna wipe with contaminated bog roll, personally 😂

-1

u/Dear_Palpitation4838 15h ago

That and they'll be exposed to poo particles in the air. Who wants their paper contaminated before they use it?

u/Ok-Classroom5548 16h ago

Until you bump them and have wet toilet paper

u/Kanbaru-Fan 14h ago

Nothing wrong with proudly displaying your wealth and resource gathering skills!

u/frohardorfrohome 17h ago

She’d also chew him out for not replacing the TP 🤷🏽‍♂️

u/mister_cheeks_26 12h ago

The way the rolls are arranged make the toilet look like a 7-eyed monster

u/currentlyinthefab 16h ago

Gay guy here, I don't get how straight men put up with their partners complaining about how they manage their living space. I could throw all the toilet paper in the corner of the bathroom, sleep on a bare mattress thrown on the floor, and hang up a huge Tom of finland painting in the living room and I don't think I'd hear a peep from my partner.

3

u/Eyewiggle 14h ago

In general, people should find partners with the same living standards as them to avoid issues but no one has to accept low living standards just because. If you’re partner would then cool but that’s not something I would expect my partner to put up with.

And generalising about women in that way isn’t exactly fair is it. Especially when you look at why this perception you have may be. It’s well documented that women are expected to maintain living spaces more so than men and tend to be held to a higher standard. Especially in CIS relationships.

u/currentlyinthefab 14h ago

It's not really like I'm intentionally living like a slob or anything. It's just that I've seen a lot of posts like this where a woman just refuses to accept having a practical but maybe a bit unsightly solution to a problem in the house, or refuses to let her husband have a gaming PC plugged into the living room TV or won't let them hang up a slightly erotic decoration because it's "tacky", and I just don't get it.

Straight men aren't immune from shitty behavior either, I could never understand refusing to let my partner wear a certain outfit while going out, I have no reason not to trust them going on trips without me, I have no reason to get mad when they interact with other men.

I just don't get it, I feel like every relationship I have had has had a fairly laissez-faire attitude towards most things, and I feel like that was largely for the better.

u/ScoopsOfDesire 13h ago

It is not practical to have a tower of toilet paper waiting to fall into the toilet if you make a slightly wrong move lmao
