Why is it...

[itsheresomewhere]

A little light thread for the very long week.

Why is it people out back empty things but never tell you that we are out of said item...
 

Please add the one that happens to you.

Why is it people (okay, really just the only other adult who lives in empty nest house with me) believes it is okay to leave the toilet paper roll on the holder when there are only *two* (2) sheets of toilet paper left on it? Is that enough for ANYTHING?

Yes! Or leave the empty roll....

Oh, no. We've had serious discussions about that. That isn't going to happen again. (Or it better not!)  But somehow 2 sheets is okay?

My favorite is the half sheet glued to the roll. Why leave that? Open the cabinet and put on a new roll.

I have a box of Kleenex on the back of my toilet for occassions such as this 😂😂😂.  I leave the roll with 2 sheets and use the Kleenex until the other person changes it 😂😂😂!!!

Might be Not so good for plumbing.   

Even if not on a septic system

 

”Valued for their soft texture, Kleenex and other facial tissues are at hand's reach in most homes. They are often used interchangeably with toilet paper during cold and allergy season, to catch sneezes and dry runny noses, but they're not good for the potty. Facial tissues do not break down in water the same way toilet paper does. They should never be flushed down the toilet; flushed Kleenex can cause clogs and other serious plumbing issues.”.   Hunker.com ?

Why is it that I am the only one who is capable of putting my keys in the drawer in the table by our front entrance, and puttting my shoes in the closet two steps from the door?  I’m the only female in my house. The boys all dump the keys on top of the table and pile the shoes by the door.  Perhaps it’s a chromosomal-linked ability??

Why is it that nobody thinks to mention that they are out of deodorant, toothpaste, soap or other essentials until  I an unpacking groceries from the weekly store run?

Why am I the only one able to look forward and envision the future? I hear things like: I can do all that work later, it will be fine. What, are you already planning vacation?

Unfortunately my smug self-righteousness falls apart every afternoon when I realize that once again I have neglected to get dinner started in a timely fashion. 😞😄

Yep.  That is why I stockpile things so that they just check the stash instead of me running back out for things.

Even more odd, why is it that only one of three male offspring will ever tell me (after I've been to the store) that they are out of things like toothpaste, soap, shampoo, etc. ...... even though the three offspring all share said toiletries. Do the other two have different definitions of "empty" and "out of..."???  Is only one of them actually *using* said items???

Why is it that every time I get home from the store, within the hour I will discover something that we’re out of? I mean, I’m in charge of (most of) the list making, it’s like these items hide when I’m checking to see what we’re out of.

[Miss Tick]

Wait, I have another one! Why am I the only one who can see the shiny red ribbon on the floor at the other end of the hallway? I've been monitoring it for two weeks and it has not shifted. Where did it come from? Is no one going to rescue it? Is there no-one who's job it is to do that floor (deeper problem that I need to investigate)? I bet you a box of Girl Scout cookies that if I ask, at least two of my three dc will know exactly who received it when and attached to what gift. Not enough to make someone bend down and pick it up without direction, though  ergh.

That the “need” for a valentines gift for a girl of interest to my teen son did not get mentioned until 1 pm today, and we live 45 minutes from city with stores, and target leaving time to get to Valentines event was 3pm — (but Mom, that gives a whole half hour between driving back and forth!)  when it is known I like to group errands and to have a weekly or less often shopping trip?
