Do you keep tissue boxes around the house?

[Anonymous]

I live in a two bedroom condo and have them everywhere.

I have depression and cry a lot.

This winter I suffered through two viruses and a bacterial respiratory infection and I went through something like 12 rolls of toilet paper over 7 weeks of blowing snot.

In general I do not buy tissues. My grandmother and my aunt both left me lovely handkerchief collections and so I have those all over the house for sneezes and tears, and they are laundered weekly or taken out of rotation immediately if a sneeze creates gross snot.

I like being reminded so often of my grandma and auntie, and using things that too often sit forgotten in drawers.

Because you can stand up and walk to the bathroom, blow your nose, and throw the tissue away in the trash can in there. I’m not putting a box of tissues in every room.

I'll be sure to sneeze on you while I'm searching for your bathroom.

It’s just right over there. If you’re in my house, you know where the main floor bathroom is. It has tissues and a trash can in it.

In the powder room for guests. I would never have thought to keep them out in the living room, kitchen, etc. I would assume people wash their hands after blowing so the bathroom seems appropriate. It’s only now that I’m older that it has occurred to me that I’m one of the only people I know who doesn’t use tissues unless I’m sick. I literally never have a need to blow my nose. So maybe I’m not understanding how strongly others feel about easy access to tissues.

If it were up to me I wouldn't, but DH insists on having them everywhere including the dining room which I hate. I've bought wooden covers for them but still hate having them in open spaces like that.

We buy one or two boxes per year for the times when someone/everyone is sick.

They live in the linen closet for 11.5 months of the year.

I bought a four-pack of the Kleenex cubes when we moved into our house in 2019. I cleaned out the linen closet this past weekend and found two of them. The amount of tissues many of you people seem to go through on an hourly basis is shocking to me.

+1. I can’t remember the last time I bought tissues, but I think there’s a box in my kitchen closet. My family doesn’t have runny noses unless we have a cold, and it’s been a long time since that happened.

I keep a box of kleenex on my back porch. Those are used for nose blowing, cleaning up coffee spills, dusting the patio furniture, and picking up dead bugs after we have seen them, stepped on them to squish them, then use a tissue to pick them up. And use another tissue to wipe the dead bug guts off our shoes. If I didn't have a box of kleenex out there, I would need to walk 30 steps to the bathroom to get TP, with bug guts all over my shoes.

This post is one of those that is so dumb I can't believe a poster is asking. Then we get to hear from this idjit. Guache? Dumb and ridiculous.

I have them in my family room and every bedroom. Everyone I know does that. Some of you just weren't raised right.

I also have expensive boxes to cover them. Jelly much pp?

I'd bet your house is small.

I think you use them or you don't and would never even consider the alternative until faced with that kind of person.

It's called having allergies you nitwit. Silly? That kind of person?

Your poor husband.

Only on dcum are there fake robots insisting it's a personal/moral failure to need a tissue. Keepin it fake as possible on dcum.

We have a box in each bathroom and bedroom upstairs, and one in the entry hall and kitchen downstairs. Our house setup is practical so we keep out what we need. If the King ever comes to pay us a visit, I’ll put them away.
