In my house, I'm the only one that realizes there is a trash can in the kitchen. DH must get so distracted opening food items that he thinks the packaging magically vanishes.

My DH puts trash ON TOP of the trash can lid. Apparently opening the lid and inserting the trash inside the can is too challenging. I'll walk by the kitchen and there will be a random tortilla chip bag, or a granola bar wrapper, just sitting there. On top of the trash can. WTF?

Get the automatic trash can from Costco!! You just wave your hand over it or just position your hand over it and it opens. It would sense your husband moving in with these and it would open automatically.

Which one is the Correct Direction?

Engineers, lawyers, help us!

OP - But do you change it so it unrolls in the Correct Direction?

So the other members of my family will use other bathrooms rather than restock, until they run out of stocked bathrooms. This happens when I travel for work. I will get home and find that they are all using the guest bathroom.

I am also the only person able to load the dishwasher.

We must be living in the same house. I don't know how many times I will come home to see dishes sitting on the counter top or in the sink. I ask DH if the dishwasher is clean and he says, No it's dirty. I never complain to him since he has trash duty.

I prefer to change the roll because then it ends up properly installed. Otherwise it's coming from the top and I have to change it.

The weird thing with my dh is that he refuses to use the last strips on the old roll so he will have a new roll stacked on top of the roll I'm still trying to use.

Lots of DWs don't do it, and it totally baffles me because they are the unhappy ones when there is no TP.

I'm not even sure DH knows where toilet paper comes from. I think he thinks it just magically appears in bathrooms. He has no idea you buy toilet paper in the store.

LOL -- i read the subject line and immediately thought,
"change the toilet paper roll."

This post is hilarious!
Apparently in my family of five, I am the only one with a fully functioning brain that can anticipate daily needs. I have to remind everyone that despite what they may have heard, they don't actually live in a B&B or a hotel, and that if they need toilet paper, or clean clothes, or a meal, everyone needs to help out. I swear sometimes that if I weren't around my DH and school aged DCs would be lying around the floor in dirty pajamas eating food out of a can. With a dirty spoon.
