Rolling out the TP rules...

By
Real Estate Agent with iMove Group, Knipe Realty NW, Inc.

Has this ever happened to you?????

 

 

Five approaches to TP maintenance: 

 

You could start with a basic visual aid...

 


2. Or perhaps appeal to their sense of patriotism...


3. Or go with a not-so-veiled threat...

 

4. Of course, you could just let your backside do the talking...

 

5. But remember to cite your sources...

Robert: They are kids....give it up, buddy...it's not going to happen.

Nathan: Woo Hoo!!! I complete you.....how special is that. Somehow I feel like Mini-Me on Austin Powers.

Leslie: LMAO! Too funny! Poor Brenda....but then she did bring it on herself. P.S. don't tell her I said that, okay? Great idea about the sign. I will have to try that one out.

Lara: Absolutely!!! Buy a case and make it your mission to visit every bathroom in every house that you show and write a message.....how funny would that be???!!!

John: Call Lara and ask her to send you one of her Sharpie's. Also, you can try locking up the toilet paper. That way only you have access and the family will have to come to you for a refill. That way you will know who the abuser is!

Cecily, I have a great idea for your next post.  A thesis on how which way you load the TP reveals insite into your character.

By that I mean, if the paper hangs over the front your a solid standup kinda person.  If the paper falls to the back you are some kind of Al Qaeda operative or dope smoking out of work pinko!

just an idea

Cecily - And the problem is???? Obviously, it is your fault. If you had done a better job of training, this would not be happening. Of course it took my wife about 30 years to get me trained. Now, with just me, I still put the seat down and replace the roll. Keep working on it, another 15 year or so and you might have him perfected. :-))

Sheldon: Thanks buddy! I don't know where the new background came from...I do know my "see inside" sticker on the side that links to he Windermere site has vanished since the changes....hmmmm. Am I being punished for something by the AR Gods? Have I been bad and not been blogging enough???

Jim: Two knuckle raps up the side of the head for you next time we do an inspection...hee...hee!

Fred: Why is it always my fault???? Waaahhhhhhh!!!! why does everyone pick on me...sniff. Okay, I feel better now that I got that off my chest! H!

Chet: So that's you who does that???? Now it's all clear...hee.

Kevin: I've missed your smiling face! FYI...The roll only goes one way...over. There are no "under rolls" at my house.

Clearly you have issues and need to seek medical help! (ROFL) It was really nice meeting you and certainly are going to have to get together as a group again as we really aren't that far apart.

Cool! But, I have to ask...wouldn't it have been easier just to replace the roll than to write the message?  Still...funny as hell... I had to google it; this is what I found (#1 on the list):

  • Step 1: Take the empty toilet paper roll off the toilet paper holder, this takes about a split second.
  • Step 2: Place a new roll of toilet paper on the (now) empty toilet paper holder, this takes about another split second. The image shows how not to replace the toilet paper. After doing all this, you should still have time left to do whatever it was you were and needed to get back too.

It gave this further advice for the person who is complaining that nobody else in the house replaces the paper:

  • Have extra toilet paper close by so that you don't have to hear the excuse:"I couldn't find any more paper, or I thought we ran out".
  • If that doesn't work, just take all the extra toilet paper out of the bathroom and bring a roll in with you as you need it and take it back out with you when you leave. And remember to leave the empty toilet paper roll right where he/she left it, maybe even write something on the empty roll. Mornings would be a good time for this step.

 

Thanks for the blog Cecily...now if you could just solve the "Over or Under" mystery for us...
