I’m pretty sure Emily Post never covered bathroom etiquette in her books. But then again, I could be wrong since I’ve never read an entire book on manners.
Today, I’m pondering a few existential potty questions. And toilet seat up or down isn’t one of them. We all know the answer to that, especially if your butt has ever touched cold water in the middle of the night.
So…
Whose responsibility is it to replace the toilet paper—the person who emptied the roll or the next one in the bathroom? I say leave it to the next guy. But don’tcha just hate it when you emptied the damn thing and left it for someone else to refill, but you arrive the next time to a still empty roll?
If no one else is in the house, must you close the bathroom door? The answer to this in my house is yes. Otherwise, Bad Dog likes to come in and keep me company. As Smarty Boy would say: Es no bueno.
Is it acceptable to put cheap toilet paper in the guest bathroom and keep the Charmin all to yourself? I say yes. Assuage your guilt by hanging nice hand towels for them and using the ratty ones yourself.
