Default Men and toilet rolls.....

Why is it they never change them? - mine will leave one sheet on the roll saying its 'not finished' and if I am really lucky he will leave the new one on the toilet cistern for days rather than changing it......... must have a magic toilet roll fairy in our house...

That's funny, I think we also have one of those in our house.
Mine also leaves empty shower gel and shampoo bottles in the bathroom too, we also have another magic fairy to replace these aswell.

I saw an interesting thing (!) recently which said that Americans are, generally, scrunchers whereas Brits are, generally, folders. Didn't say anything about fairys though.

Other way round in our house, Wife doesn't know how to change the rolls just balances the new one on top of the empty roll and daughter puts the empty roll back on the stack

Men do change the roll when living on their own, but when they live with women, they find that the toilet roll disappears so fast there's not much point putting it in the holder

I noticed that you didn't deny that women go through toilet roll so fast that you've got to wonder whether they're eating it
