It probably sounds ridiculous that something that takes only two seconds is a job that nobody wants to do.
This morning when I went into the bathroom there sits the empty toilet paper on the roll. How hard is it to replace it?
By the time I took off the empty roll and put on the new full one it was probably less than two seconds.
This just always leaves me shaking my head

yep, especially when the extra rolls are in plain view and within reach.

@Marilynda1225 It doesn't worry me. It just means I can hang it the way I like it - loose bit hanging against the wall.

I think it's a rule in The Man Book that he must never replace the toilet paper or risk having his Man Card revoked.

Oh, that's not true! It's the job of the Man to see that it's done correctly (with the end facing outwards, away from the wall) and to complain bitterly if it's not done that way. He doesn't (of course) expect the Minion to come to the bathroom (and he with his trousers around his ankles) and change the roll if it happens to be exhausted but he DOES expect there to be always a new roll to hand! WHY have you not put 'TP' on the shopping list? And why - for God's sake - if you have, does it seem to translate as 'Tomato Passata' or 'Tin of Peas' or even 'Tampax (Preferably)' or something equally bizarre?

People expect that someone else will replenish it probably.
I hate it when I go to the bathroom to do my business only to find out that there is no toilet paper and I have to go all the way to the garage to get it because there is no one around to bring it to me.
My hubby uses way too much paper and when he uses it up he doesn't always put a new roll on.

I am lazy. To more toilet paper on, I have to go down through the house to a hall closet. So its a pain to get that paper and of course should be thought about before an emergency hits. Maybe its time I found a better place to store T P?
