How is it that my arthritic hands can manage to start one off without leaving a trail of confetti on the floor whereas his unarthritic ones can't :?
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Because those without arthritis have not learned patience0

It is the way we were made
Loo roles and loo seats are just to complicated for us
So from all of us.

As I seem to be the only person capable of replacing a finished toilet roll in my house I am always the first to use it so no confetti here.
ElizabethNever be bullied into silence.
Never allow yourself to be made a victim.
Accept no ones definition of your life
Define yourself........

Definitely a man thing - toddlers/ young children/ early teens of the male species can all manage to replace them, then they completely lose the knack and never regain it.0

Nope. I have been married to one bloke for 46 years, James. We have two sons and two grandsons. I am well-practised in the art of detecting lame male excuses If you're all sorry DON'T DO IT. And, while you're in there, remember the disinfectant isn't just an ornamentIf at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Mr LV has many irritating maleisms but luckily I checked out his toilet roll skills before I met him. He even hangs it the right way every time. I do have a friend who once posted an instruction video about changing rolls on Facebook for her husbandHey little fighter, things will get brighter0

Mine leaves a trail of debris everywhere. He used to try but now his bad back doesn't allow picking up anything dropped on the floor (or the closing of the dishwasher). Everyone knows however, that stretching is the best thing for an arthritic back...I guess he needs a wife as much as I do0

Mr DD will replace a roll if necessary, and I ensure that there are spare ones in the shower rooms. We don't get much in the way of confetti but we do get uneven sheets - I know the secret of sorting that so it's no big deal. He will also (occasionally) squirt down some cleaner and - bless him - ALWAYS cleans the bath after he's had a soak.
I suspect he acquired these skills after he left home and lived on his own for some years - if he didn't do it no-one did. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0 -

As I live on my own, I don't have any problems. My DIL has solved the problem by doing away with toilet roll holders and leaves several started rolls in a pretty basket on the floor.Christine0
