The Toilet Paper Throwdown...

2 DAYS!

For 2 days I've had to wipe my 'personals' with NAPKINS! And it's not because I'm out of toilet paper. I have PLENTY of toilet paper. It's because my husband is stubborn. Here's the thing...if you FINISH the roll, then you REPLACE the roll. Right? Right!!!

WRONG, as far as Jordan is concerned at least. Do you know what he did??? He left the cardboard roll for me. umexcuseme?! It's like a slap in the face! I have IBS and food allergies folks. When it comes to bathroom time a cardboard roll isn't going to stand a chance against my artillery! I need something with durability! Like my heavy duty double quilted bath tissue. So I'm staring at the empty roll and ask my husband sweetly, "Babe....center of my universe....sunshine in my life...would you please go grab me some toilet paper? Thank you love, I do so appreciate it." **bats eyelashes**

You know what this fool did? He handed me a wash cloth. A-hem. I birthed your children with this....and you hand me a WASH CLOTH.....Fine. I'll use your stupid wash cloth....but this means WAR! I refused to put a new roll on. He finished the last one and he WOULD replace it with a new one! And so it began....

And for the last 2 days I've been either sneaking off to use the kids bathroom, using napkins from the kitchen (holy chaffing batman, pass the Boudreaux's butt paste!), or smuggling toilet paper in my bra. I mean a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!!

I'm making a statement here folks. I'm proving a point!!

And guess what...I WON! That's right! Victory is mine! You know how you spell victory? A-L-I-C-I-A! Because last night, I came home and found this waiting for me....

{Now this is love....18 rolls of love}


{Soooo much softer than napkins...and towels...and socks...ha!}


And now if you'll excuse me, I have a hot date with my toilet, Good Housekeeping magazine, and 18 rolls of deliciously soft toilet paper.

  9. LOVE IT! You and jordan that is. You two crack me up!

    Everyone knows its the cardinal rule of all things crapper related that you always replace with a new roll when the time is needed. Way to stand your ground and succeed with the win of 18 rolls.

    Your bum thanks you :)

  10. I hate when Big Man does that...just because they only have to shake doesn't mean you disrespect us who have to wipe.

    ReplyDelete
  11. That is the funniest thing I have read in awhile! You are both stubborn!

    ReplyDelete
  12. AHahahahahaha!!! I love that someone else goes on strike like I do! 18 rolls should keep you going for a while eh?

    ReplyDelete
  13. i would've just not flushed the toilet. an eye for an eye. a wipe for a flush.

    also. the cardboard roll ain't so bad if you dab.

    ReplyDelete
  14. You go gurrrrrl!!!! You have more strength than me. I would have screamed, then proceeded to beat some ass.

    ReplyDelete
  15. You guys are hilarious. We use baby wipes in the Pulsipher household.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I love that the roll is folded in to a point like at hotels! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  17. I'm so glad that I found your, um, explosive ass! You crack me up..pun totally intended.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Love it! And he even folded it like they do at hotels!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. OMG! Pretty sure M would have had a beat down.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Too funny, good for you standing your ground. Next time he is sitting see how he likes using napkins.

    You could hand him and ipad.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Dang, I am proud of you! You held out way longer than I could have!

    ReplyDelete
  22. That was outstanding. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading that. And the picture at the end really brought it home.

    He handed you a wash cloth? Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Even the corners are folded... a la hotel style!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Way to stand your ground. I'm sure that your ass is a bit mad about it but you know you did the right thing!

    ReplyDelete
  25. My husband does the same thing, leaving the roll I mean - I am SO trying this. :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Funniest damn post I've read in a long time! Ahhhhhhhhhhh, HHAHAHAHAHA, BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

    ReplyDelete
  27. A sock will do in a pinch! Or when you've got to pinch one....

    Hmmm...this food allergy and ibs you speak of - is that why you don't do carbs????

    I'm so proud of you for holding out on this small war. Victory is sweet, is it not?!?

    ReplyDelete
  28. What would I do without your blog, Ms Alicia? I friggin LOVE this. And I love that you won! Never surrender.

    Congratulations!

    And, by the way, your hair looks AWESOME! I love it. I'm very jealous. If I could cut my hair that short, I could wear it down in uniform, but there is just no way it will work. My hair is to fine and thin and my neck is too short. :-( But you look hot.

    ReplyDelete
  29. hahahah! well this post made me snicker!

    have a great weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I think the funniest part of this whole post is the fact that Jordan left his two cents in the comments! He was just tired of you nagging. RIGHT! He held off until he had to have some paper. You are the cutest couple! :D

    ReplyDelete
  31. This is effin hysterical! Thanks for the tip, I'm sure I'll need to use this strategy at some point in the not too distant future!

    ReplyDelete
  32. haha way to hold out! don't you love it when you win?! luckily manfriend and i have separate bathrooms, so we don't have this fight, however i do get mighty peeved when he leaves my seat up!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hilarious! I totally would have done the same thing. I'm super stubborn. Glad you got your way :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. of course you would win. LOVE this!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Everytime I click on your blog it's like a new adventure....this time in toilet paper. Who knows about tomorrow....oh the possibilities!

    That does remind me that we are down to our last roll....crap!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Wow, you got one that turned out to be trainable?? Good job, woman!

    ReplyDelete
  37. OMG I'm over here ROFLMAO girlfriend! Good for you to stick to your guns - no matter how long it took for him to replace the roll and throw in a few extras - HA! :o)

    ReplyDelete
  38. You showed him! Love the tp fold too...that got bonus points right?

    ReplyDelete
  39. I'm LOLing so hard right now it's not even funny.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Ummmmmmmmmm. Yeah, I'm not sure what to say about this. I just go grab a roll and get on with it, but you have to pick your battles. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  41. Haha, while I admit my "need" may not be as great as yours, I sympathize. My boyfriend does the same darn thing!

    ReplyDelete
  42. My husband does the same thing.

    It's frustrating. He's a grown man. Change the roll!

    ReplyDelete
  43. lololol...once we had a similar war on dish washing....they remained thdere for a week....i think i was the one to crack but memory is poor and not sure

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  45. Perserverance pays off. You were right, that was WAR!
    18 rolls stacked nicely and a delicately folded diamond edge on the roll...that's a white flag in the sand.
    You. Win.

    ReplyDelete
  46. YES! Victory, sweet, sweet victory.

    Sadly, I've lost this battle many times.

    I've learned to wipe with paper towels.

    YELP!

  47. It's vital to choose your battles ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  48. That was a hard won battle!

    He must really love you, folding the TP all nice an hotel style... what a guy!

    ReplyDelete
  49. What an amateur he only held out for 2 days;)

    ReplyDelete
  50. Was that your Valentine's Day present?

    ReplyDelete
  51. I've gone on "strike" for various reasons over the years, and you're right...it really does work! Felicidades, chica...

    ReplyDelete
  52. ok I need to know what you were doing with the napkins post use. Like you didn't flush them. Did you save them? Did you put them under his pillow?

    ReplyDelete
  53. awww he even left you the cute folded tp like in a hotel. :) 2 days? I hope you held out on other things for 2 days!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. You are a mess! Too Funny! :o)

    ReplyDelete
  55. OMG! you two are so awesome!! what a great competition ;) I called your win before I even got to the end of the post...you winning is a given. I died of laughter over "I birthed your children with this" .....I use that line too LOL!!! Hope you are having a great weekend Alicia!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. AAAHAHAHAHA that's classic!!! I think I need to try that with the hubs....I am ALWAYS the one to replace the roll. I wouldn't have to replace it so often if he didn't use a dang roll and a half every time he was in there!!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Ahahahahahahaha! Seriously? What a good little hubby.

    NOW BEHAVE LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME, JORDAN!

    Sheesh. He acts like you ask for a ton. Ech.

    ReplyDelete
  58. 2 Days? Wow, I would have caved way sooner. I would have been giving him the evil eye, as I huffed and puffed my way to the toilet paper storage closet, and he would be looking at me like "what? I don't even know where the toilet paper storage closet is." Yeah, that's how my hubs(aka Jordan, small world) rolls.

    Cute blog! Also, I saw your hair cut pictures and it's not that short. In fact, it's what I consider long...for me anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  59. bahahahahahahaha!! I bet your ass was on FIRE!! Congrats on this epic victory!

    ReplyDelete
  60. HAHAHAHA! Too figgin' funny! My hubs and I have the same issue. He'll get a new roll out, but he won't put it on the holder. WTF!? Like it's that hard?

    ReplyDelete
  61. It must be total hilarity at your house 24/7. BTW. Quilted Northern is THE best. Although it is expensive. Ha. I just plugged toilet paper.

    ReplyDelete
  62. LOL so funny...love how he stacked up all that toilet roll!
