What’s so hard about replacing the toilet roll?
I share my home with two dogs, a cat and two of my favourite men.
But I've been thinking about some of the household things that seem to be particularly hard for them to do. They're also the things that get on my nerves.
The toilet roll.
I cannot tell you how many times I have walked into
the toilet and the toilet roll is sitting on top of the toilet roll holder – conveniently
just waiting there for me to take the old roll off and place the new roll
on.
I’ve actually conducted an
experiment on this and have found that if I don’t put the new toilet roll on
the holder – it never gets there.
On
quizzing the teenager in the house – his response was , I never know if you
want the toilet paper facing over or under!
Last night I walked into the kitchen and witnessed my man open the
dishwasher only to realise that the clean dishes had not been unpacked. He proceeded to close the door and as he turned
around he realised he been caught out. So he re-opened the door and unpacked the
dishwasher.
We joked about how he only
did that because he’d been caught.
The
male teenager in the house is often known to pile dishes on the
sink instead of unpacking a clean dishwasher.
Who am I kidding – he even does it when the dishwasher is empty!
And my biggest bug bear, the sliding wardrobe doors in our
bedroom. The opening mechanism must work
perfectly well for my man but I’m guessing the closing mechanism must have something
wrong with it because it only seems to work for me!
These are three small things but they do tend to get on my
nerves. Everyone has their fair share,
although I am struggling to work out what about me gets on the nerves of the
two men in my life?
