Marriage issues

[EJO]

Got a question, actually a couple:

Toilet paper roll, do you have it roll off the front or the back? Does your spouce do it opposite of you, if so does it drive you nuts?

the other: Toothpaste tube- squeeze from the bottom or the middle. Again does your spouse do it opposite of how you do it. Does it drive you nuts?

We don't put the toilet paper on the roll, we just rest the roll of toilet paper on top of the little doohickey.

We are both "from the bottom" people, with regards to toothpaste, but we had a roommate who squeezed toothpaste from the middle. After he moved out, we found a tube of toothpaste he'd left, and my wife said "Hey, look, we get free toothpaste.", and I said "But he squeezed it from the middle! We might not get best results!"

Toilet Paper must roll off of the front. IT drives me crazy if it is the other way. Sometimes my hubby does it the "wrong" way on purpose. I always fix it!

Toothpaste - we are both from the middle squeezers so it isn't an issue.

LOL

TP--Both of us are firm believers in having it go over the top, so we don't fight about that one.

Toothpaste--Neither one of us cares how the tube is squeezed, so we don't fight about that one either! Cool huh?

 

[Dewjunkie]

TP- Absolutely has to be from the back. There will be no compromise.

Toothpaste- We use Mentadent, so this is not an issue.

 

[hollygirl]

Neither one of those bother me. (I'd have a problem with a messy toothpaste tube though.)

We both take care of the toothpaste tube. I'm mean, hello, if you need toothpaste then squeeze it! And we don't have the usual toilet paper holder. It's a "kitty" that holds several rolls stacked on top of each other so basically you just pick a roll up and pull some tissue off. Can't agrue about direction there!

I put the tp rolling over the top.
Dh puts the toilet paper on the back of the toilet.

It doesn't matter in the end though, because our toddler likes to unroll it down the hallway no matter where he finds it.

Dh squeezes the toothpast from the middle and mangles the tube regularly. I carefully squeeze all the toothpaste to the top and roll the back up neatly. He waits until I am done and then messes it all up again just to torture me.

It doesn't really matter though because our toddler likes to bite holes in it no matter how he finds it.

Usually, when I use the toothpaste I'm either not awake enough (morning), or too sleepy (night) to realize that I'm squeezing the toothpaste much less figure out *where* I'm squeezing the toothpaste. There's times I've tried to put toothpaste on my hairbrush or Ive tried to use the toothbrush on my head. One time I took the lid off of the toothpaste and just squeezed it. I didn't know what else to do. One time I took my toothbrush to the kitchen and tried to pour milk on it.

 

[Dewjunkie]

LOL @ Cheese, I know that feeling all too well. This morning I woke up at 5:41, and started frantically looking around the room, but couldn't remember where I needed to go. I thought I was going to be late for work, and I guess I was looking for my stuff, but my brain just wouldn't function. It was only after my wife asked me what I was doing did I realize it was Sunday and I didn't have to be at work at 6. I'm fairly retarded when I first wake up.

 

[hollygirl]

ROFL!
Cheese I just love you all the more!

 

[chriso]

I would have to say my wife and I agree on this. TP over the roll and always squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom of the tube. We are kind of both neat freaks.

 

[karla]

TP- off the front. It drives me insane the other way. Usually my husband puts it on that way, but if he doesn't, I just turn it around myself.

Toothpaste - we both squeeze from the middle, but it wouldn't bother me either way.

 

[Christi]

My husband is toilet paper challenged. He evidently doesn't know how to put it on the roller at all. I think it's genetic or maybe a generational curse. My children don't seem to know how either. They just all put the new roll on the floor.
Toothpaste is another problem. We are not high up enough on the food chain yet, to worry about squeezing. If the cap gets put on and toothpaste isn't sqeezed all over the counter (or mirror, HOW could that happen?) then I consider it to be a good day.

For the toilet paper there's not too much of an issue. I am usually the only one to replace it, but I don't really care which way it rolls from...I don't think he'd notice anyway. The toothpaste is another issue! I am a definite from the bottom toothpaste gal...so much so that I buy him his own toothpaste. I thought this would solve the problem, but now he thinks it's funny to come out of the bathroom with my toothpaste in hand and go "Look hun" while laughing his head off and squeezing the toothpaste RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE!!!!!!! I'll get him back however...hockey starts next week and he'll suddenly find out that he's missing one shin guard, one elbow pad, his athletic supporter, a skate, and his beloved, stinky, dirty, holey Maple Leafs jersey....whaaahaaahaaahahaaa...don't worry, he'll get 'em back but I hope he doesn't check before their first practise!

At a wedding reception once I saw the Bride and Groom do a TP Race. Two rolls were placed on a dow rod, one each way. Then the bride and groom had to race to remove all the paper from their tube. The pulling down way won by a mile!

 

[OracleX]

We don't put toilet paper on the doohicky thing as our two year old loves to spin it round and round.

As for tooth past, the hard part is finding our where the two year old hid and, and hopefully didn't squeeze it out all over.

the other: Toothpaste tube- squeeze from the bottom or the middle. Again does your spouse do it opposite of how you do it. Does it drive you nuts?

 

 

Good golly, who cares which way the TP goes, and how the toothpaste is squeezed? It's not an issue to either of us--as long as there's TP on the roll, and we each have our own tube of toothpaste, neither of us cares. There's far more important things to fight about.

I have never even thought of these things before!! I just cant imagine letting something like that drive either of nuts.. they seem not important

I totally agree with you!

When someone has a type A personality. a place for everything and everything in it's palce - it DOES matter.

Someone with this type of a personality - it is stressfull for it to beout of order. SO to most of us - it is no big deal but to those that are "anal retentive" it is a big deal and causes stress for it to be otherwise.
