Laughing at the handkerchief hate on the same board where you get reamed if you don't make a roll of paper towels last a month.

I just stayed with a friend who has tissue boxes all over her house -- there were 3 in the living room alone. Convenient when you need one, but then you just have to get up to throw it away.

I don't buy tissues. We use toilet paper.

Eww


That sounds really gross. Is your family pretty healthy?


DP here who uses kleenex, but how are clean hankerchiefs gross? You use them and then you wash them. I don't use them because they're too thick for my delicate nose (really) but DH uses them and I don't think it's gross to have them in the hamper.

If not sick I blow my nose once a day in the shower.

Me neither! I’m picturing all of these houses with covered tissues boxes scattered around like decorations.

Same!

We have them in our bathroom on top of storage cabinets. DD has a box in her room. She and I both blow our noses after showering. I guess it makes sense to just use TP, but the lotion Kleenex feels better I guess!

I think my husband might have a stroke if I spent $54 on a tissue box cover.


That’s sad.


You're laughable. So much unnecessary waste...

MIL used to have them on every kleenex box. Now she just puts them out as-is.

I know, right?!

Putting a cover makes no sense. It never gets cleaned, or rarely, I would imagine.

It's just a box of tissues, it's not obscene. I'm surprised by the PPs who only buy them people are sick - don't you sometimes need to blow your nose at other times? Maybe just me! And yes, I know about handkerchiefs but I don't like them and I can't imagine carrying them around with me - for one thing, I don't always wear clothes with pockets.
If I need to blow my nose and I don't have my hanky I just use some toilet paper
