But the insanity is entertaining. It’s comical how riled up people get over random crap. Tissues, showers, pooping, he11 even how to toast a bagel. There’s lots of crazy in the DC area.

No. If a household member is sick or suffering from allergies, they are given a box (and trash receptacle) to carry around the house until situation resolved.
Otherwise the tissues are located in a drawer in the living room and on all bathroom counters.
I prefer not to blow my nose in front of others, out of respect. I keep tissues in my purse so I don’t have to search for them.

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.

Do you have young kids? When they bring home a cold, we can go through several boxes.

I have two. They have clearly used the two boxes we have when they are sick. Otherwise they've grabbed toilet paper and kept a roll on their nightstand for the two days they needed it.

NP

When a sneeze attack is coming I barely have a split second to grab a tissue and let go. It’s usually three times in a succession and if I ran to the bathroom, I would barely make it there by the third please

So you have a box on all sides of all couches in your living room?

Yes. Who has time to make it to the bathroom if they are going to sneeze?

Who has time to do anything but reach out their arm if they're going to sneeze? Which would logically mean you need tissue boxes every six feet or so. What on earth do you do if you're in the dining room?

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 agree with the poster who can’t imagine not needing tissues many times daily. We have allergies and go through a lot of tissues. Going to the bathroom each time we need one would get old reallllly fast.

So you have a trash can in your living room?

Yes, this! How does it help to have tissues everywhere if you don't have trash cans in every location as well?

Also, blowing your nose is gross. I'd prefer you go to the bathroom to do it, not do it while sitting next to me.

How much warning do you get before a sneeze? If you don't have a box in your living room do you really have time to run to the kitchen? I don't get enough of a heads up.

You must not have people over very much

We host people at our house all the time and have no tissue boxes lying around. I don't know how we manage.

The only one in our house is in one of my daughter's bedrooms because she wants it. Otherwise no. Thinking about them around the house makes me think of my grandparents, which is weird because my grandfather always had a handkerchief in his pocket but I guess my grandmother used tissues. They were always prepared for a runny nose.

Same. I like for people to be able to find a tissue when they need one!

Most reasonable people adhere to a sneeze schedule. Were you born in a barn?
