Really, some people are just better off living alone.

Why can I never find a pen when I need one?

How did Mr. TP-user know that she didn’t write that on the tube of all their TP stash and then re-wrap the paper over it, hmmm?

While you think some people are better off living alone, don’t presume the PA notes on toilet paper rolls stop.

do these people just walk around carrying pens with them?
if not and they had to go get one to carry on this PAN-iness, then why not just use that energy for good instead of evil and grab a fucking roll of TP instead?

The handwriting looks too similar. I believe we have a case of multiple personality disorder here folks. Like in the Allan Poe story where this one guy meets this jew he dislikes, then invites him to his winecellar with the intent of walling him in, and IT WAS ONE PERSON ALL ALONG!

I wonder what the e.coli count is on this poor little piece of cardboard….

The offender/responder seems VERY hostile. The original author of the note wasn’t like that at all. I think he needs some anger management and household etiquette therapy.

I wish I took a picture of the note I left my boyfriend after I used the last roll. “Sorry babe, but it was a midnight poo and I’m too lazy to find another roll but not too lazy to write this on the empty roll. PS: GOOD MORNING!”

This could simply be a case of “One conservationist’s last piece is another person’s empty roll”.

Funny how this got to three notes and STILL hasn’t been replaced.

Clearly the next step in this argument is which way the roll should face: in or out?

I can’t help visualizing these guys standing there, drop trow, with no tp to wipe with yet they are writing notes?

Like either of those clowns would bother replacing the t.p. if they did live alone.

If I happen to be able to time it perfectly so that my ass is clean with the very last piece of TP then that is MY victory! I will take my spoils of my victory as the emancipation from TP roll replacement responsibilities and I’ll be damned if anyone is going to take that away from me!

For the love of all things good, why couldn’t the first note writer just replace the roll themselves? Is it really that hard?

I have never understood why people get their balls in a knot over this.
So long as the spare roll is left in the bathroom then what’s the beef?
The last person to wipe their ass is fine, why should they replace it, they don’t need it.

Totally agree with the original note writer. If you finish the roll, have some manners and put some paper there for the next person. Lazy jackasses.

What would they do if they ever bought those new rolls without the cardboard inside?

They could use the post-its as tp.

If I were the one who had to keep changing out the empties, I’d be really tempted to make Mexican for my roommate and then move all the toilet paper to a closet outside the bathroom after finishing off the one roll left.

I carry an empty roll around with me so I can replace full rolls with the empty one. Then I hide the full roll.

No toilet paper, but I always bring a pen with me while sitting on the toilet…

Who passed out the Haterade?
I vote for scratching out “don’t write a note” and writing “In other words:”
Offender/responder would get his knickers in such a twist that anyone would dare talk to HIM that way that it might cause testicular rupture, doing the gene pool a favor.

Sometimes to get even, I just replace the spindle after taking off the cardboard roll, then they have to replace it, nothing worse than having your drawers by your ankles and not having “single square” (Seinfeld ref)

when I read the last pic and saw mention of the opposite, constanza came to mind.

I kind of think that I was the original note-writer, but I can’t remember for sure. Can someone tell me where this picture was taken? I’m 99% sure that I would be self-righteous enough to write on the roll, and I almost always have a pen. This is probably the appropriate forum to apologize for my passive aggression…nahh, not feeling it.

For all those who have commented about “What have these note-writers used to wipe their asses with?” my suggestion is this: TP.
The bathroom may be set up like mine: with a basket in front of the toilet that houses a couple bath towels and a bunch of TP rolls. Or, there may be additional TP rolls in a cupboard adjacent to the toilet. In either case, my guess is, the first note-writer took offense to the fact that no one replaced the roll, took out a new roll and purposely left it on the adjacent counter so that the offending TP roll non-replacer would be shamed into doing the conscientious thing.
It’s a total waste of time if you ask me … try living with kids. They never replace the TP roll.

My ex would leave me stranded without TP. I begged, pleaded, asked, ordered, nagged. Nothing helped. Finally, I started taking the TP out of the bathroom and just taking it in with me when I needed to go.
Being stranded twice was all he needed to learn to get a frickin’ clue.

This is set up. The 2nd and 3rd notes, purportedly done by two different people, have the same exact wet spots on the roll.
