I remembered this video, and it reminded me of how I always have to change the roll. I always keep an extra roll on the floor or behind me on the toilet, but it is still so annoying!

the only thing i can think of is that some men never live alone and think it just magically should appear or like you said “it’s woman’s work”
i really can offer no good reason to defend my gender

This is too funny! Luckily I am married to a man who not only buys the stuff, but makes sure there is a roll in each bathroom and puts it on the thingy.
Maybe he should sit there without any AT ALL and get the idea.
Make sure you train the kid well NOW.

Funny video. Going through life solo doesn’t leave any room for complaining. I put the new roll on every time. ;~D

He leaves the seat up, too. Not too cool in the middle of the night.

Not just men but kids don’t change the roll either.  And in the days I did not have a fridge with an ice maker I was the only one who could manage to put water in the ice cube trays.   Enraging isn’t it?

Now come on. lol Finally most of us put the lid down. Don’t you ever stop moaning about men? Perhaps the answer is you should stop chasing us.

Why do you need a toilet roll holder, the top of the cistern works fine LOL In the good ol days the phone book on a nail worked fine too. You women are just so sensitive always leaving the dam seat down. Just kidding girls

On Toilet Paper. 1927
As an extension to the ground floor’s back addition, which was the single scullery, the lavatory was three feet wide and five feet in depth. It provided a fixed, full width seat of scrubbed wood. Covering the space between the toilet’s brick walls, it provided the appropriate hole needed to access a brown glazed earthenware lavatory bowl. Complementing this wooden bench and providing some relief to the white washed walls, large squares of cut newspaper tied together by string were often thumbed through to look for some lost article of interest. With plenty of spare toilet paper in the shape of another newspaper, it was always possible to read the news once again if contemplating the rapid movement of insects over the ground became boring. Overhead the cast iron water cistern’s metal chain provided the means to flush the bowl, but only if jerked in a manner to allow its corroded pin to rotate. Scrubbed each day, the fixed seat would often lead to complaints about the careless use of this amenity.  So much so that the careful and judicious use of the toilet was an important part of any child’s training in Wendon Street. With each mother being measured by her own child’s ability to leave the seat dry, a visiting child would immediately report any discrepancy found before use to a now embarrassed hostess.
Yes it was different in our neck of the woods but alas most have gone
