[Closed] How many toilet rolls do you get through a week?

And this is in the bike forum - why 😕

But to answer your question I have absolutely no idea as I can honestly say we are not keeping count - but I am pretty sure that is much higher than my household otherwise we would be buying new loo paper every week

[MOD: moved to chat 🙂 ]

I bet they're messing with your things too when you're not at home

I don't normally count but after a few weeks we realised we were changing the toilet roll / buying more much more often and started keeping tabs

I can't believe that one person more in the house has tripled our toilet roll consumption!!!

Good Lord. I'd be charging her per sheet!

Is she one of those women who wrap half a roll up to wipe? Does sound excessive.

Hide all the toilet role, then when she needs to go she'll ask you, as a result you will find out how often she goes. 🙄

just leave five sheets on the roll at all times, if she comes downstairs with shit all over her hands then you are being unfair... 😉

the operative word was "she"

they eat them actually - little known fact

I heard she was smuggling into her room and making paper mache life size models of all the family so no need to worry. Do what my parents used to do for me, by the worst stuff you can the stuff thats like tracing paper and keep the nice triple velvet stuff for yourself! 😀

We've got a guy at work who gets through a roll a day on his own in a normal working day. The toilet is now simply regarded as his office. He's doing martial arts training every day as well as boxing and running so when he's not on the bog he's eating.

You can still buy Izal medicated in the supermarkets.

It's like greaseproof paper with flint chippings embedded in it. It smears the sh1te up your back and rips your ar5e to tatters in one go.

Leave her a couple of rolls of that and see how she gets on!

We once had a lodger and the same thing happened.
I once saw her in the bathroom doing her makeup (the door was open, and I was walking past!) as she pulled the roll, a sharp tug, it spun and at least a meter of paper unwound itself. She then proceeded to screw it up into a ball, wipe the corner of her eye with it, and deposit it into the toilet.

Later she blocked the toilet with these crazy amounts of paper, only it wasn't our toilet that overflowed, it was the little old lady's in the bottom floor flat (there's no proof of this but I'm pretty sure this was the cause).

I made a joke out of it all and luckily our lodger then proceeded to purchase toilet paper. It was a compromise because I didn't agree with the wastage that was going on.

Is you lodger from another country by any chance?

We have had a number of oriental students over the past few years and their bogroll use is prodigious ie. at least one roll per day. We ended up buying the cheapest we could find at the market.

Don't get me started on their shower/washing routines...............and the sight of the last Hong Kong student coming down the stairs with a green face pack and hair removal cream on [b]his[/b] chest will haunt me for some time 😯

Yep - she's japanese -

My wife is not keen on her having a shower when she goes to bed as it keeps us awake - especially the hair dryer which sounds like no hair dryer I've ever heard before. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

😕

Luckily I've not seen her doing her chest yet!

PMSL - this is why I'd never take in a lodger - I just cant cope with some peoples personal habits!

Incidentally I only get through a roll per month on my own, mainly because I use the loo at work primarily. When I have visitors (family) and fill the flat with 4 people I get through a roll every 4-5 days, roughly.

I would suggest that you do what deadlyhifi did to his female lodger and spy on her whilst she's in the toilet, then you'll find out what's happening to the bog paper.

Anyone notice that students always have their own personal toilet roll in there room, why cant they share.

Id seriously check your drains as the toilet roll muncher that lives down there may be a bit full with all that roll to chew through.

I've just spent half an hour unblocking the bath - don't know if its connected (literally) to the toilet!!!

My wife fires through a roll a day. It is incredible, and I have issues about the waste and the usage, but she is irreformable.

As she is Oriental then why don't you remove the bog roll telling her that it's an old English custom to do so in the New Year. If she needs to use the loo then tell her for the next 30 days she will only have one sheet per visit to the wc & that she has to use both sides :o)

This should curb her irresponsible use of toilet tissue, failing that get some of that Izal stuff. Crikey I'm still having counseling now 40 yrs after I used to use the wc at my Grand parents place - boy that stuff is rough!!!

I remember being taught in the military how to use a single sheet. Tear a corner off and hold it in your teeth. Poke your middle finger through the middle of the sheet and use your finger to clean up. Then pull the peirced sheet off your finger, cleaning your finger as it goes. Now use the bit in your teeth to clean under the nail.

I'm not saying I use that method on a daily basis but it does cut down the consumption.

FFs...

Just get yer wife to have a quiet word with her, about not using too much bogroll, and not having showers/using hairdryer late at night. She's YOUR lodger; she should be respecting YOUR household. If she wants to stick to her obsessive cleanliness thing, then she should get a place on her own.

Speaking of wastefulness, I lived in a place with others, a while back. Had a flatmate, who's mate would come over, and stick some really shyte French (c)Rap music on, on his laptop. I'd be trying to have a bit of peace and quiet in me room, and he'd come up the stairs to have a shower (this bloke virtually lived at ours, rent free, until we told him either pay some rent, or stay in yer own place). ****er would have this shyte music on, shower for ****ing ages, and just ignore us, if anyone else wanted to use the bathroom.

And the flatmate got an electric fan heater, because his radiator was a bit dodgy (we had FREE communal heating). Instead of ringing the landlord to have it fixed, he'd have the thing on blasting out hot air, with the ****ing window open!!! And wondered why we then charged him half of the electricity bill.

I am so glad I now live on my own...

I'd rather use a roll a day than your method Onzadog!

Oh, and their favourite trick was to bung the oven on, to get it hot for a pizza or something, then forget about it...

Laptops plugged in ALL DAY, lights left on, 'phone chargers left on, TV left on...

Is she fit?

If the answer is YES then it doesn't matter.

I'll take a Japanese lodger if your sick of her. That will probably reduce my TP usage.

Thinking about it, and remembering the indepth thread from the other day about crapping round the world, if she is performing the "Japanese Squat" she may have to wipe her ankles too.

I would suggest to her that she changes her diet and show her this link :

[url= http://www.poopreport.com/Doctor/Knowledgebase/wipesomuch.html ]why do I wipe so much?[/url]

Still, if she uses your washing machine, you should be glad that she presumably doesn't load it up with fudgy knickers.

Better than a mate of mine, I spose. He didn't used to wipe too often, when he'd 'dropped the kids off at the pool'. But then he got an infected ring, so he had to take antibiotics and use a special cream.

Dirty bastard.

I've always believed that "the kids" was a gay euphemism for 'turds'.

As in :

The gay couple where one went off to work everyday, whilst the other stayed at home. One day the one who went to work came home unexpectedly early. Wanting to surprise his lover he slowly crept upstairs, whereupon he found the bathroom door opened. As he quietly stroll in he discovered his lover was in the bath pushing floating turds around like little toy boats. "Ah I see" he exclaimed, "I go to work everyday and work my bollox off, whilst all you do is spend your time playing with the kids".

Was your mate gay ? I can understand your disgust with his dirty ringpiece btw.

I'm getting funny looks from the wife n kids now, 'cos I'm laughing at my laptop!

[i]rather than one every three days.[/i]
christ on a bike, that's going some too!
Probably one every 10 days or so here.

Not being funny, but some people have got much quicker metabolisms than others. I'm generally at least twice a day myself, often 3 times a day. My old housemate was in a similar situation, we'd often go through a toilet roll in a day just between the 2 of us!

Can understand how it's annoying though for you considering you're paying, no need to get silly about it though. Just tell her "due to economic circumstances" you're going to have to put her rent up by £10 per month. That's going to more than cover the extra bog roll she uses!

Depends whether it's left within reach of the toddler. Can anyone beat 12 whole rolls bobbing about in the bath?

You see... its not as easy as you'd think to talk to her about it as she's here to learn English and in 4 months she doesn't seem to have done much of it to be honest.

Even having a simple conversation like "What sort of job do you have in Japan?" takes about an hour to explain the question to a point where she understands, then getting an answer... well you might as well forget that.

Although I was patient the other night and found out her dad runs a Bike shop in japan and makes his own frames - but took about two hours to get that far.

Normally we get a yes to everything we ask so we have learnt to ask questions that we want a yes to...

For example - "As we've got some that are a week out of date, you'd like kippers for dinner wouldn't you?"

So I shouldn't really complain about the toilet rolls as she uses up the food that's gone off and thinks it is a traditional English meal. Everyone is happy.

I just can't fathom out why she gets through bog roll so much??!!

So you give her the sh1ts and then complain about the amount of bog paper she uses ?

😯

Touche! 😉

PMSL!!!

Suppose I'd only have myself to blame - if I wasn't joking. 😉

I can't believe how naive you lot are re womens habits, ....where have you been living?
Many women are paranoid about others hearing them piddle or crap ..particularly in shared houses. And so, to try and quieten things down they pile on the paper beforehand underneath the dropzone to stop others hearing a waterfall or logdrop . I think you'll find that is the answer.you can ask but unless you have an honest lass they'll deny it!
oh btw orientals are even more sensitive re eavesdroppers ...most toilets in japan now have music to cover any embarrasing noises.

Wouldn't it be easier to leave a tap running ?

Bukake......and a wipe round after...

Was your mate gay ? I can understand your disgust with his dirty ringpiece btw.

No, just a dirty bastard. Dunno what being gay has to do with owt. Plenty of straight people into unhygienic activities. Mind, another one had to be taught that washing your hands after a sh1t is essential. He seemed to think it was some 'silly Western obsession with cleanliness' (hippy dosser ****), and that 'a few germs won't kill you'. Always had sores all over his mouth and stuff. Came to a head (!) after another mate's gelf picked up a rash that he had. Went ****ing mental, and demanded he change his ways. He did as well, speshly after a woman in a shop refused to serve him (you can, legally, if you believe someone to pose a biological hazard to health).

Is she married? 🙂

axroads; no need.

Why am I talking about this? 😯

. Dunno what being gay has to do with owt. Plenty of straight people into unhygienic activities.

No, no, no,I didn't mean it like that, it wasn't meant as a slur - and I apologise unreservedly if I've offended you 🙁
As I said, quote : "I've always believed that "the kids" was a gay euphemism for 'turds'" that's the only reason I asked.

No I'm very broad-minded and liberal about gay men. In fact I've got a gay cousin, and him and his "partner" make a lovely couple. Obviously I take sensible precautions and try to avoid shaking hands with them at family reunions, but other than that, I treat them as if they were normal 🙂

And yes of course, I imagine most gay men have immaculately clean bum holes 🙄

Erm....... when I said I imagine gay men having clean bum holes, I didn't mean that I "imagined" gay men's bum holes - no not at all 😯

Just thought I'd clarify that ........

😯

Erm...

Back to the OP (although i'm a broadminded and liberal sort of guy too, so you can discuss shiny gay bum holes as much as you like as far as i'm concerned), the nesting instinct combined with OES (Oriental Embarrassment Syndrome) would explain it. How long is she here for? Long term would it be more cost effective, space permitting, to install a drum kit in the khazi?

PS Until I read this thread I thought that "The Log Drop" was at Alton Towers.

so, 6 sh1ts = 1 toilet roll? Christ on a bike. What's that, something like 50 sheets per sh1t?

Not she's not married but also someone I'd not want to marry (plus I'm already married to the lady I want to be married to)

AndyP - Exactly - If you want to get scientific about it there are 200 sheets per roll (roughly) so thats 33.3333 reoccuring per crap on average

Now I have one shit regular as clockwork a day and use about 10 each day.

I imagine my wife gets through slightly more as there is significantly more lettuce wiping going on so lets say 20 sheets a day.

My Daughter gets through about the same so between us thats 50 sheets a day.

Leaving my lodger using 150 per day!!! Now thats a lot!!

Either she grow lettuces or she installs an olympic standard crash mat for each visit to the karzi!

Didn't know about OES and think that the crash mat might be the reason behind it - although the amount she is in and out of the bathroom I can't see why she is worried about us hearing her. Mainly as you can't hear what people are doing in there anyway and when she has a shower she go back and forth about 5 times - haven't a clue why she can't go in and then come out once.

This is one of the things that is good about having a lodger from a different country - you get to learn and appreciate the differences in culture.

Dude.

Go travelling and carry your single dry loo roll in a waterproof bag with you at all times. You'll have it down to 3 rolls per poop in no time.

One up, one down, one shine.

You can still buy Izal medicated in the supermarkets

That brings back memories of visiting my granny. Just what *is* the point of making bog paper like that??

JonTaylor - LOL - do you mean 3 sheets per poop?

None for "one", three for "two". Unless it's a real "man's two" in which case I'll stretch to five sheets.

Oh, and I try to always go at work so as to use there's not mine.

this is a shit thread!

maybe she just does really sloppy ones that smear across her cheeks on their way out?

Look at it this way, which do you prefer, buying a little bit of extra toilet roll or shitty bum smears on the sofa?

Could she be doing this?

PK; 'Kin 'ell, mate any need for that? 😯

My male housemate at uni used to use a roll a day, he used about 10 sheets after a p1ss, he was an idiot!

10 sheets after a wee? To wipe the floor or the end of his ding-a-ling?
