Actually, my cats could care less about the paper, it’s my 21 month old who stands gleefully in a pile of TP up to her knees, as she listens to the cardboard roll sliding across the spindle as she smacks it over and over and over.
The cats are usually the ones who report her….
And for the record, the paper should come over the top.

The 2nd and 3rd photos were taken at the same time. Notice that they look nearly identical (same lighting, etc.), and the top of the “t” in “exact” can be seen at the bottom of Photo 2.

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

I think these are my two roommates. Not really. But… was this by any chance in Queens?

Um, I should clarify that this is a little boy CAT we’re talking about, not a little boy HUMAN. Heh, heh. Okay, you can stop dialing CPS now.

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.

Or close the bathroom door. I have to really make sure mine is shut, because the little boy will hit the door with a running start and headbutt it open. He hits it so hard the door slams against the wall. I often wonder if there’s anything in that little head to hurt.

Thankfully, he leaves the toilet paper alone and contents himself with merely drinking from the toilet and emptying the trash can.

Kate, my family like to use my bathroom often and never replace the roll. It’s no great mystery where the rolls are…They are in a container RIGHT NEXT TO THE TOILET. It doesn’t even require getting up, and they still don’t do it. So yes, it is aggravating that they have no trouble using it but replacing it is apparently just too hard.

I agree. Unless you have cats, there’s no reason the roll should face in. I do draw the line at folding the little triangle thingy.

Actually, if you have cats the best idea is to hide it the roll in the medicine cabinet or put it anywhere but in the toilet-paper holder.

Way to go, Amy! If the original note was mine (see above), I think there’s a window sill just out of the frame with more rolls sitting on it. You can even see the end of a spare roll hanging down from the sill at the top left. I have SOME consideration, unlike the roll-finishing offender.

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.

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.
