It’s all about communication. And toilet paper.

Writes Brittney in California: “Apparently, my mom’s boyfriend was stuck with an insufficient amount of toilet paper, and being passive aggressive (because he really is) he decides to write a note about it and stick it on the mirror, rather than confront her.”

Mom’s response?

And, in the end….everybody loses!

  Anybody out there have any success trying to duplicate writing on a TP square with a Sharpie?
  
  I’m betting on both notes being written on PostIts.
  
  So, I’m agnostic-leaning-toward-disbelief in the notes’genuineness,
  but Team Brittney (all the way to the end of the roll) for creativity.

Team boyfriend here.
Everybody knows that it’s woman responsibility to replace toilet paper roll and is real man’s duty to mansplain her passive-aggressively when it needs to be replaced.

  Right, GG…
  
  Elves do the replacement, the fairy takes out the trash.
  
  T-P fairy is Thumbellina-Poseidon, who takes the “TP cans” on Santorini and leaves 3 drachmae, which in the old days was worth about a penny.
  
  But since Greece adopted the Euro, giving drachmae in exchange for taking used TP is just Poseidon’s way of being hip and “au courant-cy” with the cyber-age’s aphorism of Garbage Out/Garbage In.

I’m thinking, what a pill that Brittney is. She should just butt the heck out of Mom’s love life.

Actually the whole family is PA. Brittney doesn’t like her mom’s boyfriend so she just waits for a chance to mock him on PAN.

And as for Mom? hey, maybe the BF is the best she can do. Cut her a break.

Superbowl’s over, folks…
Welcome to the U.S. Olympic Douchecanoe trials!

Our first contender: an “emotional” woman who is too squeamish or forgetful to have a replacement roll of TP on hand in her bathroom.

Our second contender: a “practical and rational” man too caught up in something (“mental activity” ?) to notice that there’s almost no TP left, but(t) who blithely plops down and immediately poops himself into an awkward corner. Nice planning and survival skills there, Boy Scout.
Maybe he was humming “Do You Believe in Magic” ?

  I like that Mum has taken the results of BF’s bowel movement and steam-rolled it. The emoticons seem to represent this. BF’s specimens seem a bit constipated, knotted-up and retentive. The result of sitting on the toilet for a long time, and putting in gargantuan effort. No wonder he was upset.
  
  On Mum’s part, flattening the shit visually under her thumb is a lot less aggressive than doing it in actuality and smearing fæces all over replenished squares. She’d suffer too then, after all.
  
  Anal retentive vs. anal expulsive, a match made in heaven. After all, everyone knows that opposites attract.

  We have lots of homes with toilets that are not in the same room as a bath/shower.

  It’s the norm to have a toilet in the bathroom, yes. That’s called a full-bath. It’s also common to find half-baths as well.
  Uncommon would be to find a home with a half bath, but a separate room for bathing only…that is, with tub/shower, but without a toilet.
  The single-family homes I’ve lived in have all had half-baths in them, so maybe I’m exaggerating, but I think it’s pretty common.

  The rule is that whoever empties it, refills it. Two squares of TP (or one teaspoon of juice) is not technically “empty.”
