    Default Anyone Else Have This Phobia?

    Mine is if there are only 3 rolls of Toilet paper I freak.
    I have this goal of having 300 rolls of Toilet paper at all times.
    Do I need Intervention?
    Right now I'm down to 3 and it is bothering the heck out of me.

    I'm that way with fruit. I need to have a good stash and when it gets low I start feeling twitchy.

    I have the running out of toilet paper phobia also. I like to keep at least a backup 12 pack in addition to the one that is open.

    I drink a lot of fluids and go to the girls room often, not to mention I use it for nose too.

    Fear of running out almost makes me panic sometimes.

    I have room in our cabinet for at least 24 rolls so when the cabinet starts looking half empty I buy another 24 pack.

    nope, that's never bothered me. I usually buy it when I put the next to the last roll in one of the bathrooms. Now soda's and microwave popcorn....that is when I hit the store....lol

    My family laughs at me but I get nervous. When I'm nervous I run to the bathroom more and then see it getting down and have to go buy more.

    Good thing I have to go to Walmart tonight .

    The toilet paper issue doesn't bother me, but I do have a tendency to hoard food.

    This is me exactly.

    I've been known in tremendously tight money times to get down to less than 1 roll of tp and then keep reminding my husband that that is all we have until we get a paycheck.

    But food, oh yes, I do tend to hoard that.

    Me too! I have to have a 12 pack of unopened TP just in case. Also I freak out if we are too low on laundry detergent, dish detergent, bath soap and toothpaste! I'm on my last box of detergent and I have been thinking about it all week!

    Man if you are in a store before any minor/major weather problem( especially in winter), you know you are not alone. People Neeeeeeeeed their toilet paper. I too have to have at least 4 rolls in the house.

    i don't get too twisted up about it, but i do try to not run out. right now i'm down to a few rolls of dh's tp and about 5 of the other tp. i'll have to get more when dh gets paid next week.

    yes i have to buy 2 different types of tp. i buy angel soft or scotts for the kids' bathroom and the half bath, and charmin for dh's bathroom. charim has too much lint, but he doesn't like the other kinds so i have to buy 2 types. sometimes i can find a store brand that is similar to angel soft.
