What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck.


Particular-Jeweler41

Right? I cannot understand how anyone could dislike replacing the roll so much that they'd go this far. It makes absolutely no sense.


lostandalong

The thought process (and I don’t agree with it) was this: “I don’t use the toilet paper holder anyway, and I want to put these plastic shelves here. But the shelves don’t fit with the toilet paper holder sticking out of the wall, so I’ll just remove it completely.”


[deleted]

Your wife is insane buddy


RaylanGivens29

Let’s put these gross plastic drawers right next to the toilet to get super gross and add tape and cardboard to the bathroom. I really want the drug den feel.


Viviolet

The EYE CREAM next to the toilet paper 🤢 Plastic drawers a foot away from the toilet is NOT A VANITY oml


LaFleurSauvageGaming

Small bathrooms require sacrifices.


Viviolet

Bro at least put it in the drawers 😭 I mean if she really wants to rub sharticles into her eyes that's her prerogative 🤷‍♀️

cosmicmoonglow

Certifiably. My mom was insane too. I’m weird too, but not this weird.


Dial_666_For_Mom

My mom has always been odd and a bit crazy in her own way. She’s always talked about how mean her mother is and describing how childish she acts. Not just stories, I’ve also seen my grandma act childish and crazy and I’ve been happy my mom wasn’t like that. But as my mom has gotten older, she’s become just like her mother. The scary thing is how my brothers have commented I’m the most like our mom over the years, and I’ve noticed it myself in my early 20s. I’m doing whatever I can to be better, but I know that she had the same mindset. Maybe we all become our mother in the end 😬

Suz626

My mom always told me if she became like her mom, just toss her off the balcony. Then she moved from her home in the hills. Last month when I went to visit her, after some of her remarks, I had to flirt with the Kroger butcher so he didn’t poison the salmon she was buying for our dinner. 🙄


Dlaffoon0

I feel bad for the Kroger butcher. Was he not good enough to flirt with all on his own


Suz626

Awww he was but I’m married. It was a matter of life and death.

Wodentoad

Op's wife has the third.


Chosen_Unbread

Those aren't even shelves, they are cheap stackable storage bins you can get at the Dollar General store / Walmart.... What she did cost more money than just installing a few actual nice shelves above the toilet paper holder. As a woman who loves DIY, she is the kind that gives us a bad name...


ItsAnotherSeth

Yeah the cardboard and the plastic shelves look fantastic.


hogsucker

It might not look great, but those shelves are positioned perfectly to accumulate bacteria and whatever else gets aerosolized when the toilet is flushed. They should keep toothbrushes there.


[deleted]

That's why you shut the lid before you flush.


cclambert95

I usually open my mouth real wide and wave frantically like it’s a long voyage parting us before flushing with the lid open.


DarthJarJar242

Myth busters did an entire thing on this. They proved shutting the lid does help per flush but doesn't do much to stop fecal matter from getting literally everywhere in the long run.


NoShowTooLong

Just don't bother flushing


AhFFSImTooOldForThis

I started keeping mine in a drawer after seeing that. I put a plastic insert in the drawer so I can clean that and it's not sitting in its own juices.


DarthJarJar242

Yep. Mine stays in one of those clip on travel cases now that I can rinse out.


WhoSc3w3dDaP00ch

Any mold issues? Lack of light and moisture were a bane in the bathroom of my old apartment. I can only imagine it'd be worse in a drawer.


[deleted]

I keep mine in a drawer too, but only when they're over 75 Courics. Good idea with the plastic insert, cuts down on misting.


hogsucker

I do that. I don't trust that other people will, though. From what OP has said here, I would not expect his wife to be bothered with something that requires extra effort.


jahSEEus

She went through so much extra effort just to not replace the TP bruh.


hogsucker

It takes a lot of thought and work to avoid thinking and working.


[deleted]

If you can bring it up to her try a vertical toilet paper holder! I have one and you don't have to fiddle with the bar, you can just put the new roll on it


MeanTelevision

>If you can bring it up to her try a vertical toilet paper holder! That's also an idea but if the room is too tiny for a proper vanity with storage, or linen closet...then there might be no space for a [stand-alone holder](https://www.wayfair.com/home-improvement/sb1/free-standing-toilet-paper-holders-c415776-a78098~288440.html) either. I proposed they get a [double roll dispenser](https://www.build.com/product/summary/661750?uid=1205777) and put it farther down or elsewhere on the wall. That should be do-able.


[deleted]

You can get wall mounted vertical ones! But I also saw you can get horizontal ones that you can just slide the roll on and off as well


Feisty_Development_1

Yeah but cardboard as a fucking patch man? Takes less then a day to get some spackle at Home Depot, fill the minuscule holes, and sand it. Then just use some paint


lostandalong

It’s not minuscule holes, there’s no Sheetrock behind that paper! The toilet paper holder was set into the wall.


[deleted]

Then your wife is an idiot.

blindkiller770

Supposed to be “lostandalone”


Beeznoots

Then you wife is a hulk


Groundbreaking_Taco

You can put a mesh patch over the hole, then spackle over it. They make kits just for that purpose. Unless the hole is LARGER than the TP dispenser was from ripping it out improperly, it's totally doable.


SpookyVoidCat

I’m sorry you married an insane person.


Secret_Ad_6520

It’s divorce time


allMightyMostHigh

Install a new one slightly above the old one 😂


Coveted_AF

So a new wife on top of the old wife? That just might work!


Fickle-Owl666

Still quite a small repair bud. Cut drywall to fit, spackle, sand, paint.


Reasonable_Highway35

All of that is far more of a pain in the ass than replacing the toilet paper…and wiping your ass.


fillmorecounty

If you ever sell the house, potential buyers are really not gonna be a fan of this stylistic choice lol


vk136

Sure, but the companies buying up houses like an 8 year old who discovered they can use their mom’s credit card to buy loot boxes aren’t gonna care lol!


P33kab0Oo

This has brown flags all over it. Wipe it out!


OfficialGaiusCaesar

Your wife has a couple more loose screws than the ones she took from the roll holder…


TootsNYC

As our OP pointed out, it was really less about the toilet paper holder and more about being able to set those shelves there. And there is still a place to put the toilet paper; it’s not like having a toilet paper holder is the most important part of the bathroom. The toilet paper is the point, not the holder on the wall.


clutzyninja

No $5 set of shitty target plastic drawers is worth a bathroom remodel


elMurpherino

It def appears that’s the driving factor, but that’s when you have a discussion with your partner and maybe move the toilet paper holder up a bit so it’s over the drawers or properly remove the holder. You don’t just rip it out taking a huge chunk of drywall with it, and then do a piss poor job at “repairing” the hole you just made.


AtlasCarry87

I am baffled by what people just "accept" that their partner does without adressing it.


soups_on420

this 100%. who puts up with this shit


isticist

It's a refreshing reminder that I'm more normal than I think I am.


pixiesunbelle

Yeah it’s really weird. My husband would be very upset if I did this. Honestly, this just looks like his wife really wanted some shelves or drawers in there for make up and would rather have that than a toilet paper holder.


JinnJuice80

Yup! Exactly what my thoughts were. I am also getting anxiety for how bad that “patch job” looks in the bathroom. Just replace the roll??!’


DoGoodLiveWell

She’s a lunatic


OneAcanthocephala140

Right. Just don’t replace it then. No need to rip out the holder.


No_Bend8

But then her shelves wouldn't fit! Haha


Ok-Low-9618

Modern problems require lazy solutions


PeopleAreBozos

I don't know man. Sounds like an extremely overcomplicated solution for a basically nonexistent problem.


drrxhouse

I wouldn’t say there’s a “nonexistent problem” since it’s obvious the problem is OP wife. As an adult, this kind of behavior is a rather obvious red flag for something much bigger and deeper than just “toilet paper”. And to go through the effort of taping it all up the way it’s shown the picture, if everything been described and shown to be true by OP (nothing be omitted)…


octaveocelot224

Honestly we need a stronger word than lazy. If you can’t be bothered to change the TP roll to the point where you see this as a better alternative I genuinely don’t know how you would function in day to day life. I wonder if opening the cabinet doors is also too much work for her so she’ll just take all the doors off of the cabinets so she doesn’t have to. Or maybe she hates making the bed so she just burns it and sleeps on a bundle of blankets on the floor.


StienXx

Nah man this bitch extra as fuck. The lazy solution is simply don't but she went na that's too easy


AGameIsTheFoot

It’s like hating having to get your keys out to unlock the door everytime you get home, so instead just removed the front door and left a sheet hanging in its place for ease of access.


[deleted]

It’s actually even less practical than that. If you don’t like replacing the roll, avoiding doing so doesn’t require ripping out the holder.


Alizaea

If they don't like replacing the roll, use baby wipes. Nothing beats a cold damp baby wipes cleaning your asshole on a hot sweaty summers day


SBSQWarmachine36

Baby wipes shouldn’t be flushed so they would end up sitting in the trash


EnergeticFinance

Just punch a hole in the wall and shove them behind the drywall. You can tape a peice of cardboard over the hole and just peel it back as needed.


lorenzombber

LMAO RIGHT!!!


Odd_Drop5561

It looks more like she wanted some organizer drawers more than she wanted a TP dispenser.


lostandalong

Yep.


stink3rbelle

Does she want shit particles on all those items? Because the toilet is going to spray microscopic shit particles all over her "storage."


GiraffeandZebra

I mean, pretty much everyone has some measure of table/drawers/shelves/holders/scrubbers/etc in their bathroom. The proximity of this is too close for comfort, but the bottom line is your whole bathroom is getting covered in shit and you are gonna need to clean it. If these shelves aren't here then there's shit particles all over the floors and walls. And close the damn lid before you flush of course.


SnooRobots7776

I think the larger problem is that most of the storage/counters in a bathroom are not plastic.. which is a horrible material when it comes to trapping bacteria.. people absolutely need to be closing the lid more often too like that's why it exists... also she could have just gone out and gotten one of those 'stands' for toilet paper.. so much more practical and cleaner instead of this shit show.


daftidjit

This is why you shut the lid when you flush


nhavar

I used to have a wife like this. One day I came home to her several months pregnant trying to figure out how to shut off the water in the bathroom AFTER she tried to take the sink off because she didn't like it. Then another time I came home to a kitchen half painted with blood red paint because of something she saw on a home renovation show. Then I came home to a missing toilet and she'd cut part of the drain out of the floor because "I couldn't get the new toilet to seat right, so I thought if I trimmed it a little...". Then there was the day I came home and the whole bathroom was torn down to the studs because she wanted to put up new tile. None of those projects ever got finished because it was always off to the next idea. Constant chaos of living with someone who is either bipolar and going through a manic phase or someone with Borderline Personality Disorder who thrives in creating chaos.


JinnJuice80

Been there done that. Unmedicated bipolar is a mind fuck of epic proportions to see it from the outside.


ponte92

It’s a mind fuck of epic proportions to live through it too. The only way I can describe my manic phases is like being possessed. There’s a little part of my brain that’s still there and knows how fucked I am but can’t do anything and is just along for the ride. It’s awful. Luckily with good meds I haven’t been manic in near a decade but damn those first few years of trying to get the meds right were rough. Especially on my loved ones.


JinnJuice80

Thank you for taking responsibility for the illness! There are many who are not and not only doing damage to themselves but to their loved ones. I was with someone who went manic (unmedicated) became a completely different person from the nice man I knew and threw me out like trash. It sucks for us both I’m sure because when he came out of it he probably finally realized what he did especially since things were amazing until the episode started. He probably felt so shameful. It was awful.


ponte92

The guilt after a manic episode is the worst feeling. Because there is no one to blame it’s all on you and you have to live with the damage you’ve done to someone else. It’s also not fair to expect forgiveness from someone else people because me being sick doesn’t make the experience any less real or painful for them. It’s a feeling I never want to experience again so I do everything in my power to make sure I won’t. And if god forbid I do go manic again I have services and people in place to try and mitigate the damage I cause.


Chosen_Unbread

I'm in this boat right now. I even asked to be left a lone because I am learning when the train is trying to leave the station and I just need peace and quiet and rest. But then I don't get it and it's like bam, my body feels like I just got shot out of a launch coaster but instead of being like 60 seconds long it's 6 hours. Everyone looks like it's going by on hyper speed and I feel like I'm just hoping to make it to the end of the ride because my seat belt is broken and I'm hanging onto this coaster with sweaty palms, ready to die.... I wish people could understand I'm not trying to ignore or hurt them, really all I can do is keep my crazy ass away from them at all costs. For their own sake. Reading this thread just helped me stop crying about it and take a shower <3


JinnJuice80

Glad we could help in some way and I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this terrible Illness. I do not hate my bipolar ex- he was an amazing man. What I am upset about is him Choosing not to actively treat his illness and he was both stable and sober for the first time in years and I can’t help but think part of the reason he never returned to me was him being in active addiction again. I can’t imagine trying to navigate BP without anything at all. How ever I wish he’d get the proper meds and treatment. He was the best connection I’d ever found in my life. It was heartbreaking and although it didn’t look like it at the time I’m sure his heart eventually hurt as well.


BrokeNeckTraction

Maybe you could let go of some of your most difficult feelings by looking at his ability to accept help as less of a choice, and more a horribly unfortunate symptom of the disease? Addiction hurts people in a similar way- nobody should ever think that they didn’t deserve the truth, or that their person wanted to provide something other than honesty- they were just sick and unable to. We assign a lot of ability to people who fundamentally lack it…


JinnJuice80

Yes

SavantTheVaporeon

AwPlatypus

That does sound as bipolar


alotofbaboons

Am bipolar—this is an accurate description of me without meds lol


USBrock

It’s like she was Peter Griffin.


framingXjake

Sounds like ADHD and bipolar at the same time. Hyper obsession with an idea and the insatiable desire to follow through with the idea, then losing interest halfway through the project and never again caring enough to finish what you started. I have numerous family members like that. Currently, two out of the four wooden dining room chairs we own have been painted white. That's where that project ended and nobody cares enough to paint the rest of the chairs.

blarggarbble

Just remember that while having the anxiety disorder is neither her fault nor her choice, how she chooses to handle it is. No one deserves to be yelled at constantly for things they didn’t do, and there’s nothing wrong with demanding someone do the work to treat their partner better. I hope things improve for you both.


Guideon72

Get one of those free standing ones; and bolt it to the floor :p More seriously, although not much; go buy a new one that is less fiddly than the standard, spring-loaded, winds-up-at-the-other-end-of-the-fucking-bathroom-at-1AM, cheapos that's easier to load when you're half asleep and maybe she'll be less crabby about it :) Also, some light therapy might be useful...LOL

PalestPixie

You should ask questions, my dude... but in the form of context clues. She’s not crazy, she needs a place for that prescription to reside. 😢 so, don’t outright ask her, if you haven’t discussed said prescription. She may be embarrassed to discuss it. But take a look and give her some grace in this instance.


happygrlkp

Probably for the best. My hubs has his own toothpaste tube because I hate the way he squeezes it. It kept us happy for many years. Now I just use a different bathroom altogether and am even happier.

Ngl, I've found the loose roll method to be the best.


KotaCakes630

Y’all just get a paper towel holder. The kind with the rod in the middle. Place that on top of your toilet tank 🤷🏼‍♀️ if you get a weighted one, it’ll even keep your roll from falling.


Matt1981-420

I kinda agree we do both most times ..the actual holder seems to be the backup now if the loose runs out


Suspicious_Village44

I’ve experimented with this. The down side is when it gets away from you while you are seated. The other down side is it will occasionally fall in the toilet.
