You have a great guy there and your story is really funny. Ya know what bugs me is when someone puts the tp on backwards:o. Hey my hubby and I are going to a financial seminar next weekend, Crown Financial Ministries. Ask your hubby if he thinks this is a good idea if you don’t mind:) Great post though, as always:))

Another really priceless post! Thanks, too, for stopping by http://www.prayingforaprodigal.blogspot.com

You are welcome anytime!

I think they learn this somewhere along the way to becoming a man. My hubby is amazing, and does the SAME thing. LOLOL.

This is hilarious and a little scary. Not more than 5 minutes ago I walked past the bathroom and smiled, counting myself blessed that my hubby is one of very few men who never forget to put down the seat cover. I do feel for you and all the women whose husbands don’t claim this talent.

I’m confused, is it the lid that causes him problems or replacing the toilet paper? Or both?

It’s the simple things in life that gets ya.

ps…How do they know how to cook a meal from nothing that taste like it was made in heaven. I’ve stood and watched (in amazement). I still can’t do it. I’m clueless.

Well, at least now it’s not so scary weird! You know, because of the whole me having just walked by my bathroom and noticed the seat down thing…ah nevermind.

I thought it was strange that you had a roll of tp on the floor. (rolls eyes and hits self on side of head)

It’s been a long week. You’ll have to forgive my lack of noticing the obvious.

My sweet husband also suffers from the inability to put the toilet paper on the roll. He’ll put in on the floor, on the tank, or – my favorite – gingerly balanced on the old, empty roll. He’s completely detail-oriented with his work, but with the toilet paper? Not so much. Funny creatures, these husband people.

I caught the toilet paper thing. I feel so smart. Sadly, I think I caught it because I do the same thing.

Please still visit my site. I’m very likeable in many other respects.

Sounds like a great man, mine has yet to master any of those things.

For now, I just wish my 6 men would just learn to lift the lid.

Now I have to chime in for my fellow man….first of all it’s not such a big deal. Men have done this all of their lives. The sooner you females accept it the sooner we can get on to the real work at hand (changing diapers, cooking meals for the kids and oh yeah…..closing all of the big deals).

The potty is just not that important in the mind of the cave man. After all, it’s a place to “potty” no matter how much “potpourri” you put in there.

My advise…hire a maid!!!

Oh yeah, and me best financial advise to give…..spend less and save more. CASH is king!!

And your holder thingy looks like a pretty darn easy one. Just slip it on right? You don’t have to mess with the spring loaded cylinder thing that so many of them have.

We don’t use holders here. Just a roll on the back of the toilet. Pretty high tech huh?!

Oops. In our family I’m the one who neglects to put the toilet paper on the roll, while super-efficient Hubs always remembers.

Oh, so glad you cleared that up. I too noticed your tp holder didn’t look like it required written instructions.

Okay, here’s the deal breaker – How’s he with putting on the toothpaste cap?

I swear this has something to do with testosterone. My DH is the same way. His favorite spot to put the new roll is right on top of the cardboard of the empty roll. I mean come on. If they’re using toilet paper, they’re obviously sitting so what’s the rush. Change it while you’re doing your thing. You’d think he would have learned this in the Army at least. What are they teaching our young men???

Could be worse. At my house you are lucky if the new rolls make it to the bathroom. Nothings worse than reaching for a new roll and realizing they are still in the kitchen in the bag they were brought home in.

My dear hubby is guilty of leaving the new roll of tp in the floor, too. But he has good qualities that balance out the bad habit of leaving the tp in the floor……Ladies, HE DOES DISHES…….He honest to Pete does dishes!! I am more than willing to pick up a roll of tp from the floor occasionally for a guy who will do dishes.

LMAO! That was an awesome read!

I’ve got a husband, two boys and two girls. None of them has every put the tp on the roll!

I have a friend that just gave up and hung a cute wire basket where the holder goes. She threw a few rolls in the basket and called it a day. I think she’s a genius!

I knew right away what you were talking about. My husband on the other hand walked in and said “what he didn’t put the lid down?”
Ugh… it’s totally a guy thing!!

I’m trying to get my little guys on the right path now. My oldest yelled from the bathroom with extreme pride the other day “I did it Mom, I got the TP on the rolling thing!” It was a proud day for Moms everywhere!!

Thanks for stopping by my site. As for the tp thing I think it has something to do with the Y chromosome. There must be a special gene tha is turned off on most men. Most not all. My husand has his turned off

But there is still paper on the hanging roll! Looks to me like he was being sweet by getting out a roll to go up next. It would be wasteful to throw out a roll that still has a sheet or two left (and hence, not wise fianacially). Geez, Kels, give the guy a break!

What’s NOT funny is falling in the toilet at 3am because hubby left the seat up.

I was really tired and I didn’t turn on the light.

I’m just happy to have the seat down. I grew up with a dad and two brothers who didn’t put the seat down. That is so unpleasant to sit down on by accident!!! After I got married, I thought Ben was a freak of nature when he put the seat down every time.

With three girls, I have to run around and check all the bathrooms after my dad and brothers come over for a visit. Those little princess’ might go into shock if their little booties fell in!

But toilet paper….uh, no. And Oprah timed it ya’ll, it took like five seconds. She announced that to the nation last year.

Is your DH and my DH related?

there was a great scene once -
on Mad About You, where Helen Hunt brought the toilet paper and the spring loaded spindle thingy into the living room and inserted into the roll and just said
VOI – LA!

I have a little contest here sometimes – I try to see if I can leave just one sheet on the roll (I live with four males) just to see if anyone will change it.

I meant to say “not wise financially”. My typing stinks!

I totally got the toilet paper thing.

It sounds like Mike is amazing. I’ve got one of those myself–although he’s always the one to make sure we have toilet paper in the bathroom!

On a side note, we both completely close the lid before we flush…I’ve read about how far those germs travel when you pull the handle. It’s not pretty.

lol!

Okay, I’m embarassed. Without really looking at the picture, I admit that my first thought was that your dh has trouble with his AIM!!!

And here I was thinking that Mike was incapable of flushing . . . .

I LOVE Beth Moore!

We have the toilet paper issue here too. He will sit it on TOP of the old roll, but not replace it. Most likely that would interfere with his Geek Magazine reading.

All tooooooo familiar honey. In fact, my man will go one more step and *sometimes* put it on holder BUT will leave the bare t.p. carboard holder on the floor. One time I just left it there to see how long it would stay on the floor. I gave up after a week. I swear they are missing some sort of gene when it comes to bathroom things….

Hilarious! And ohhhh so true in our household as well. You told the story way funnier than I ever could. Hilarious!
p.s. please! tell me he puts the cap back on the toothpaste!
