Do you keep tissue boxes around the house?

[Anonymous]

I never need a tissue unless I have some sort of respiratory illness, which seems to happen once or twice per decade.

DH keeps tissues by his side of the bed, by his desk, by the stereo, by the TV. He is not constantly using them, but needs them often enough to keep them around. I never thought to be bothered by this.

Then again, I don't mind if it looks like people live in my house.

This is the most mindblowing discussion on the internet since I learned that some people think a frown is something you do with your mouth, or that some people don't form mental images.

I think if I saw them all over someone's home I'd feel like they were dirty and I'd need to bathe immediately after leaving.

That is the strangest phobia I have ever read.

NP. If somebody is potentially leaking from an orifice so badly that they need to move room to room with multiple tissue boxes within arm's reach, I would suggest that the problem is not someone else's phobia of that situation, but is actually the affected person's lack of initiative to correct their health challenges. This is not normal; see an MD.

A frown is down-turned mouth corners. What do you think it is?

Gauche? To have tissue boxes? Do you know what "gauche" means?

We have tissue boxes in all bedrooms on our side tables, we have tissue boxes in most of our public spaces - living room, family room, study, bathrooms and powder room. And we have tissue boxes in all our cars and small tissue packs and wet wipes in our handbags and backpacks.

+1 but my kids are young and we all get sick a lot.

Yes I have them in all my kids rooms, my night stand, and in our main living space.

Seriously, what are they for? If you need them a lot, you have an underlying medical condition that you should address.

What a weirdo you are.

I make decoupaged tissue boxes. They are fairly expensive and I can't make enough of them fast enough. They are in demand.

Weirdo? If you have a need for kleenex all day long, you basically have food allergies in all likelihood, or your house is full of mold. No one should be living like this.

No one in my household needs tissues all day long. You are a lc drama queen. My house doesn't have mold and my family doesn't go through them as we don't have a constant need for them. They are there if we need them. Admit it. Your house is a trailer.
