The toilet paper thread made my think of all the weird things my boyfriend does that makes me wonder. For instance:

Not only is his toilet paper going under, but he keeps his stock in the coat closet instead of the bathroom. So when you run out, you have to go to the hall to get more paper. He also keeps the paper towels in there too.

I also bought him Kleenex to blow his nose, but he prefers to use the toilet paper.

When it was freezing cold, he doesn't put the heat on throughout his place, but uses a space heater in the bedroom with an electric blanket, so when you step out of the bedroom, it's freezing. Then wonders why his electric bill is so high.

He waits until his trash cans are over flowing and you can't put the lid on before he empties it.

The bathroom cup I bought for him, he uses to fill the iron with water. He uses his hands when he brushes his teeth.

He doesn't shut any doors before going to bed. All the kitchen cabinets, the dishwasher, the closets. He leaves everything as is.

I'm sure you ladies have stories about your men. Please share!

well maybe he keeps the toilet paper and paper towels in the coat closet because of space issues??

do you mean he brushes his teeth with his fingers and no toothbrush??

as for the trash thing, that is definitely a man issue. they wait till its spilling on the flloor before they think about emptying it. and maybe he uses toilet paper to blow his nose because he wants to look macho. maybe he thinks people would think he seems feminine using tissues!

He's got plenty of cabinets, some of them empty and when he brushes his teeth, he rinses with his hands instead of the cup.

Did you have brothers? Apparently not. LOL. Guys don't care about a cup to rinse their mouth out with! And neither do I and I'm a girl. :) Guys don't care about a lot of the stuff you're talking about...it's no big deal. Relax!

That stuff is too funny about your boyfriend *LAUGHS*

I don't have a boyfriend - therefore I wont share with you what my imaginary battery operated boyfriend does that annoys me - because he does everything right *wink* hahahha.

But, I'm sure all of us have funny quirks - its not just guys - although I must say the men do some weird stuff.

1. I have this weird phobia of getting toothpaste or toothpaste foam in my throat so when I brush my teeth I use a cup, but take about 8-10 different fresh swigs of water to make sure that ALL the toothpaste is out of my mouth before I take my final drink of water that I actually swallow. If you really want to gross me out - brush your teeth and then just swallow everything and use not water!!!!!!! *shivers* makes me freaked out just typing it.

2. I cannot eat a pop-tart like a normal person - I can eat it cold or warm that doesn't matter - but I first must eat the edges and then the back side - then I scrap off the strawberry filling from the top icing side and THEN I slowly savor the top icing side. Its quite a trip to watch this technique unfold.

I'm sure I do many other crazy things - but those were off the top of my head!!!

i do something like that with my pop tart as well. i eat reese cups weird too--i eat the edges first, then the rest.

yeah guys do weird stuff. my husband pretty much doesnt really use soap. i hate to say that but he's even cleaner than me! even without soap! he usually washes just with the rag and water. and when its hot out, i am the one that gets all sweaty adn stinky, not him. maybe i should use no soap! hehe!

hahah... the toliet paper as kleenx thing rings a bell... I dated a guy for a while who refused to buy kleenx because he thought using the TP made his life "simpler". His apartment didn't have any towel racks in the bathroom, and rather than buying one and putting it up, he would just hang it on the door knob. Talk about a pain in the butt, it always falls off!! He has a new live-in girlfriend now, I wonder if she's "complicated" his life with kleenx and towel racks hehehe...

Speaking of hanging up towels, my boyfriend doesn't have any hooks in his bathroom and I guess it's to much trouble to put his back on the rack, so he hangs his on the top of the door. Do you know how dirty the top of the door is? He doesn't and he has all-white towels.

I could go on and on..

I'll never understand why my fiance insists that:

1) I put the towel back on the towel rack immediately after taking a shower. The damn this will dry anywhere - as long as it's not ruining wood or anything.

2) I put the toilet seat down. She need it down, I need it up. I don't yell at her for leaving it down?

3) The dished get cleaned the same night they are used. We have so many plates, bowls and cups that the darn things can sit there for a few days before they need to be washed. As long as there is no stinky bacteria it's all good. Not to mention the fact that using the same dish over and over again, because it's always on top of the stack, isn;t fair to the other dishes.

4) I put all of my dirty clothes into the hamper and all of my clean clothes in a drawer or in the closet. Two piles on the floor keeps everything organized and where I need it.

5)

because if not layback you'll have a dirty house and you'll get roaches! more mess on top of more mess makes things harder to clean up. well i am anal about cleaning. i am trying to make the world a neater and cleaner place!

omg my bf refused to spend 2 bucks on a toilet brush and insisted on cleaning the toilet with his bare hands and some paper towels. he now has a toilet brush and uses it all the time thanks to me. :)

he walks around the house naked or in these tattered boxers. that's not a sexy look at all.

he lets dishes pile up for about a month before he'll wash anything. he'll resort to paper plates or eating out if he has no clean dishes.

he also is one of those weirdos that refuses to buy kleenex.

he has these plastic garbage cans and refuses to put garbage bags in them. and even if they get sticky and smell horrible he won't wash them. he'll just crack a window.

he brushes his teeth while walking all over the house and dripping toothpaste everywhere. of all his disgusting habits i hate this one the most.

one time i just finished cleaning both bathrooms and i went down to the basement for something and caught my husband peeing in the utility tub. he didnt think i would let him back in the bathrooms just yet and had to pee real bad. i was mad at first (thinking the whole george thing from seinfeld--when he peed in the shower at the gym) but now i think its funny....but he better not do it again! LOL!

Our bathroom is upstairs and instead of walking up the stairs...my boyfriend pees outside. It's usually dark out when he does it but what if some were to see him!! This drives me nuts and is sooo embarrassing.

By the way, I'm a girl and I don't get the whole Kleenex thing. I never buy tissues either...I just use toilet paper. Maybe it's because my dad raised me!!

ok so its normal then for guys to just pee all over the place! haha! i guess it i had the equipment i would do something weird like that too!

Dude, if I was a guy, I'd pee everywhere. I'm so envious when they can just pull over on the side of the road and GO.

i was on a friend's boat once and i had to pee in a gatoraid bottle. let me tell you it sure was tough! somone had a knife and cut the top lower to make the hole bigger. it was nice of them to forget to bring the potty that day wasnt it??

Now that's some talent...don't think I could do that one.

Yeah, my man also walks around naked, or in tattered boxers (real sexy) or in a t-shirt with nothing else on (funny).

But the worst is when he makes phones calls on the toilet. I refuse to talk to him until he's finished. That to me is gross!

my husband talks on the phone in the bathroom too. "i am like who wants to talk while you are taking a dump?" eww!

My boyfriend has been passed out drunk for the last two hours after downing seven glasses of Merlot at dinner, so this is my revenge. :twisted:

The kid has the dirtiest apartment I've ever seen. I could write my name in the dust on his desk and it would probably remain there forever.

He continually refills the same empty bottle over and over again with tepid tap water. There is never any ice to be found in the freezer.

He refuses to put the toilet paper on the toilet paper rack.

But despite his skanky habits, the cap MUST be put back on the toothpaste and I can't just throw my shoes on the floor--no, they must be perfectly aligned with his. Weirdo!

I could go on and on......

heh, my hubby blows his nose in the shower... NO TISSUES Ewww!

That's not gross! That's efficient! :p

Not when I clean the shower!!

Ew, he's supposed to make it go down the drain! hehe

Well I don't have tissues at my apartment. That's what toilet paper or paper towels are for :p Other than that I'm pretty neat and clean but I think that comes from having excess time with my minimal social life. However I do usually let my shower curtain get real nasty before changing it.

First: Use toilet paper as Kleenex. It's better for the environment (and your plumbing) because it breaks up in water where kleenex does not. I think someone should design some sort of decrorative dispenser so as that it can be socially acceptable to keep toilet paper in the living room.

Second: My and *my* girlfriend had a couple of revelations to each other yesterday. I'm not sure I can say hers.... but let's just say she was rather surprised to find out I'm weird enough to actually keep track of my car mileage in an excel spreadsheet. "And I thought I knew you"

WARNING< major rant contained here:
My bf does that too. His towel is navy. That's right, he has one towel. It feels like an 80 year old dishrag. He's a pretty clean guy in general, (much more tidy than I am) but some things about his standard of "cleanliness" creep me out for the following reasons:

1. The grout in his shower is black.
2. He and his roommates keep a tub of margarine in their fridge that has so many holes in it that they had to wrap it in duct tape.
3. I have (on at least 5 occassions) pulled out food over a year expired from their fridge.
4. Their cocker spaniel has a "leaking" problem when people come to the door or he gets excited/scared. They (bf & roommates) don't bother cleaning this up so carpet is massively stained and smelly.

My other complaints/observations beside the cleanliness issues:
1. He chews with his mouth open.
2. He wears horribly stained, stretched-out "wife-beater" undershirts around his house with boxer briefs where the top of his butt crack is always visible.
3. He snaps his gum.
4. He spits on the sidewalk, repeatedly. When I questioned him (alright, when I bitched at him) he said, "what else am I supposed to do with the phlegm?" EW!

Oh well, I'm a pain in the ass with a plethora of annoying quirks.

My bf has a lot of gas. It's like clockwork, every single morning. Shhhh I didn't say that! ;)

I do the toilet paper thing. It saves money too. You only need to use a little square.

I also know that I drove 9,448 miles in the past year, paid $10,863.60 in taxes (not including gasoline taxes and some sales tax), and I don't clean my dishes or do my laundry until I absolutely need to.

Mine too! He stiiiiiinks.

I'm a toilet paper girl too--I run out of Kleenex so fast and always have TP!

My BF won't wear his towel when he gets out of the shower--he dries off then runs into the bedroom, complaining about how cold it is. Well wear your damn towel!!

He also throws all his clothes on the rocking chair we have in the bedroom and waits until it's piled over his head to put away, then acts as if he's been extremely productive because he "cleaned." lol

Instead of using a cutting board, my boyfrined just chops stuff up on the countertop. And then doesn't bother to clean it off. YUCK! Selmonilla! (sp?)

My boyfriend won't even let me in the kitchen when he's washing dishes. I'm not even allowed to watch him do so. FREAK!

My boyfriend washes his hair w/ hand soup :)
