thievery!!
so i can't remember the i before e thing, hope i spelled that right. i mean, i before e, except after c... right? anyway, this is my story:
last night, after a lovely day of hanging out, walking around, watching movies, and cooking with my wonderful bf, he invited a few friends over. no biggie. 2 of them were guys that come over all the time and are cool and nice. the third is a guy that we're friends with, but doesn't really ever come over. so anyway, we're hanging out, blah blah blah and i end up going to bed. bf walks in awhile later and was like, 'did you take the toilet paper out of the bathroom?' umm..no. the toilet paper was completely missing. the roll was taken right off the holder, and it was our LAST ONE! this is all occuring at like 1-2 am, and i have to be at work at 9. i definitely need toilet paper in the morning. i was pissed! went on a rampage looking around the apartment on the crazy off chance that the kitties somehow managed to figure out how to manuver the tp roll holder and then drag it off and hide it (i was sleepy). the guys were like, 'whoa that's weird...' and the one who never comes over was like, 'i have some at my house if you want it...' umm..he had a backpack with him. and the other 2 guys come over all the time and nothing has EVER gone missing.
why would this guy steal our toilet paper, then offer to give us some from his house, and completely not fess up to taking it? i mean, it had to have been him.
so i tell bf that he needs to go to the store to get some. pronto. and went back to bed. i woke up around 3:30 am to him STILL asleep on the couch and the toilet paper STILL gone. so i woke him up and we proceeded to get in a big fight about how i was going to have to wake up extra early just to go to the store at like 6:30 am to buy TOILET PAPER because someone HE INVITED OVER stole it.
we were both pretty angry, in general.
anyway, so we went and got some because i was so mad i couldn't sleep. then i came home and was still so mad i couldn't sleep.
so i got like 2 hours of sleep last night over stolen toilet paper. not cool! should i confront the guy, or what? he's definitely not allowed back at our house. we have way too much crap sitting around that does not need to be stolen. i mean, i would care a lot less if it hadn't been the last roll and if i didn't have to get up and be at work in the morning. but such was not the case.
Could it have been somebody used the last of it up and then just threw the empty roll away? I mean, that is pretty wierd for someone to steal toilet paper.
the roll was taken right off the holder, and it was our LAST ONE! this is all occuring at like 1-2 am, and i have to be at work at 9. i definitely need toilet paper in the morning. i was pissed!
I hope not! You didn't have tp. (I hope you feel better enough now that it's okay that I enjoy this.) If you're out of tp again, what about using tissues in the morning? It beats two hours of sleep.
And the lesson here is: always keep more than you need on hand.

Will you stop posting pictures of my bathroom! I sent you that in private.
I think I would have gone to sleep & then in the morning, if the bf still didn't get tp, used one of his t shirts instead >:D
Seriously, that is really wierd. The only think I can think of is maybe something happened to the tp like the whole roll fell in the toliet or he threw up on it, or something & the guy was too embarrassed to say anything.
You are really going through a tough time right now. I don't think the tp issue would have been such a big deal if you werent already irritated by the one friend who has been staying with you for so long. I think you need to put your foot down. Try to relax and focus on the issues that bother you most, then sit down with your bf and calmy explain how much his friend being there is bothering you and if he isn't reasonable, tell him you'll have to kick them both out.
I love that the pic is from viagra. ;D
SQ - it was a whole roll... not even the biggest poop in the world would have taken the whole roll up, i don't think. i guess, anyway.
Storm - end of a pay period = no money for extra tp just yet.
lisaanddi - i AM frustrated with that whole situation! i did talk to them both about it friday night, but it looks like it's going to be at least another 2 weeks before he has enough money to move out. i just have to wait it out, i suppose. oh, and i seriously thought of using one of his socks this morning if we didn't get any last night. a clean one, of course.
anyway. it's just annoying. i wish people would just be honest.
You totally shouldve used a shirt, not tell him, & put it back in his drawer ;D

People steal the wierdest stuff, esp. cheapskates. One of the cleaners at the community centre where I used to do aerobics would steal the rolls of paper she was supposedly putting in the bathrooms there. There was NEVER any paper in the women's john "because the kids waste it."
Back in the day when I was first married and working fulltime I had a home help who came once a week. She would steal dry chickpeas by the handful, and my favourite (cheap but comfy) kitchen knife. She also would use my perfume when she'd clean the bedroom...it was cheapo stuff, but like I couldn't smell her?
In Spanish coffee bars you have to ask for a packet of sugar, because people would steal them. I've seen girls palm the unwrapped sugar cubes in Cafe de Indias.
People are weird.

AHAHAHAHAHAH! OMG! *wipes tear from eye* You are so funny Lisa! Seriously--I would have contemplted doing that too!!!
I always hide tp in my bedroom closet as my roomie is not likely to buy it usually--I get so sick of alwas putting up the cash!

Geez...there's never a tp shortage at my twin's house. I swear she gets paranoid if there's any less than 5 packages. Whenever there's a sale...she buys 4 packs at a time. I went in her basement once and no joke, there was over 20 packages of the double roll tp. I still tease her about it.
You could always buy a bidet. It's better for the environment and will save you money on toilet paper. ;)b

and it would be difficult to stuff into a backpack.
Storm & HH's reply to Storm's pic= :-D :-D :-D
I'm sorry, AP. That is pretty lame. I moved this weekend and we had a moving company move us, since it's just my mom and I and I can't do a lot of lifting cos of my back. I've looked in every single box in our house (except the ones in my mom's room), and CAN'T find one that has my oil burner, scented oils, and art supplies in it. Y'know, like the scented oil stuff where you light a tea candle under it and it smells pretty and stuff. I can't find it anywhere! I am really sad because usually I have it going 24/7. So my room is a perpetual smell-good zone. But dude! not cool....I really hope it shows up soon and that some mover dude didn't off with it. oi.
people would definitely steal tp.
i would confront him... actually, make your bf do it.

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
Kudos, QB!!
SoG - i'd be super mad about that, especially the art supplies. if my art supplies got misplaces...ugh. i have like hundreds and hundreds of dollars invested in frigging art supplies. i keep em upstairs in a storage room, so no worries of THEM being nabbed, thank goodness. hope they turn up soon for you!
so yesterday bf and i were able to talk rationally about it since we were both awake and non-angry. apparently after i went to bed, he kept questioning the guys about it and giving the backpack guy dirty looks, etc. the other two def did not take it. anyway, whatever.
he's just been banned from our house. like last night he wanted to come over to bring us something, but bf met him down the street and stopped him instead (he lives around the corner from us). i wanna say something, but bf is very nonconfrontational (and i am, too, really) so oh well.
MY BOX SHOWED UP TODAY!! It was all in the bottom of a huge bathroom box with lotions and sprays and all that. What the ???? Since when do I put my sketchbook with spray? HELLO, water damage? whatevs. I'm super glas it was okay and nothing essploded in the box!
AP, the place I just moved to now has a third room upstairs, so that's my new art studio. I always kept my stuff scattered about the house and under my bed before, but now there's an entire room I get to spread it out in. :)>>>
Did you guys really like the guy to begin with? I know I wouldn't probably fret without a roll of TP (well, because shortages have always been common in my house for some lame reason or another...erm...ex: too lazy to get off the toilet and get some out of the hallway cabinet... ::)) so i make do with tissues or something. But I know that that's not the case with most people, and that I'm just a little dgaf haha. I would totally be nonconfrontational about that though, too. I mean, I wouldn't want to ask the guy "Yo, did you just jack my TP??", and have him be all "huh?", no matter how positive I was he did it. :P
"Just a little DGAF"???
Ye what now?
"Yo, did you just jack my TP??"
I don't think I could get this out of my mouth. I'd be laughing like crazy.l :-D
