This may sound ridiculous to some people but my livery yard has had the mother of all arguements over loo roll. Our little loo at the yard has a sign at the door please bring your Own loo roll as it is a DIY yard beside a farm an there is no assigned ym just the farmer. So anyway A girl called Barbara bring baby wipes with her to the yard and she left them in the toilet a month ago by accident and Katy went in an hour or so later and used some wipes and brought the rest to spruce her horse up before a show that afternoon. Babara realised when she got back and saw the empty Packet of wipes on the floor outside Katy's stable. She was furious and bitched to me and others for days about it and even went as far to calling her a thief!
Anyway a month has passed and Barbara has stopped bringing baby wipes and now brings "andrex extra soft shell" or something and locks it in her tack box as if it is jewlery. She did exactly the same thing and left it in the loo and went back the next afternoon to find it all used!

She has hit the roof! Threatened to get us kicked off the yard even though we dont know who used it. Barbara is cousins with the farmer and can be minipulative. We all live the yard apart from barbara. Any advice! It is so immature.
 
Is it too hard just to stick a pack of tissues in your pocket? If you leave something in the loo then it is bound to get used by people caught short. To be fair, if that is the biggest prob at your yard then you are doing ok!!
 
Erm .... Wow. Makes me love my yard more!

Call a yard meeting, set up a rota for who buys loo roll? Or have someone in charge of collecting £1 a week from everyone to specifically buy loo roll?
 
LOL, the bog roll saga. I had the issue at my yard for a while, when I used to buy Andrex Aloe Vera for my liveries, they used to go through copious quantities of it ;) Now I swapped to co-op own economy brand (aka sand paper :D) the problem has all but disappeared ;)
No real advice, tbh, maybe just buy her some wipes and loo roll? Or drown her in the loo perhaps?
 
WOW that does seem petty.
I think I would take £20 down to tesco buy a huge supply of loo roll and put it all in there with a note saying 'for everyone- courtesy of (your name)'.
Voila no more arguments
 
Dear me, what a kerfuffle!

I'd either offer to all club together and buy huge multipacks of loo roll, or provide your own and none to be left in the loo.
 
ok, Barbara needs to stop leaving things in the bathroom if she doesnt want random people using them. If someone has forgotten paper they will use whats there, rightly or wrongly.

Katie needs to buy her own wet wipes if she wants to clean up her horse. And to stop leaving litter on the floor outside stables.

Lol!!! Had similar - posh 'branded' baby wipes for eye bogies (horses not mine!) were forever being swiped. Now I use cheapy ones no one bothers nicking them!
 
I'm with Barbara on this one.
I would be mighty miffed if someone used my top-quality bog roll too. Outrageous. Buy your own ''shiny white'' if need be.

Can you not get together and organise a bog-roll fund?

Or failing that.....use straw;)
 
I have to agree with Barbara to use a few to wipe your bum then fine but to nick the entire lot to use on the horse a bit out of order!

And you think this is a pathetic yard conflict we had one on our yard about.....wait for it..... "a kitchen knife" oh yes said knife got removed by one of the liveries because none of the rest of the mingy liveries were washing it after using it and the best bit was, it wasn't even hers!!

What a big fuss!

Just use your own tissues, simples!
(It was quite cheeky of the girl to take baby wipes from the toilet to use on her horse)

Using loo roll left by others I can understand, if I left it there then they are welcome. Taking wipes which clearly aren't yours to use on your horse is no different than taking anything which isn't yours. It must have been obvious they were left accidentally, the girls a chancer, why isn't she using her own wipes on her horse..or is it that she wouldn't usually have wipes to use on her horse..even worse!
 
I wouldn't be best pleased to find someone had taken the wipes out of the khazee to use on their horse TBH! However, if you put something somewhere be prepared to have people use it (although I feel it's fair only to use it for the purpose intended!)
 
Well we have had arguements over a missing 20p plastic hoof pick. Hate livery yards.. The bitchiest place on planet earth.
 
Look, it's perfectly obvious, Barbara has haemorrhoids and these are making her bad tempered. Buy her some Anusol. Problem solved.

Did Katies horse get placed? If so, what brand were the wipes?

That's what I was thinking. :D We wee in stables. :o Our own horses' stables, of course. We have some class. :D



I do agree it's pretty outragious to nick someone's wipes from the loo and use them all on your horse, then dump the empty pack outside the stable! :mad: She should replace them, and apologize.
 
Why not just all have a loo roll kitty or take turns in supplying (cheap) loo roll?

Failing that, just all leave different coloured loo rolls in the loo, so you know which is your to use :D
 
ToiletGate!

Little things become an issue. We are all human. Perhaps B should remember to remove her toilet roll and it won't be used.
 
Oh dear what a bummer! I bet if somebody put a box of good old fashioned Izal loo paper in the toilet it wouldn't disappear so quickly.

Barbara should learn not to leave her stuff around and the other people to learn to keep their hands off !

I always have a pocket full of tissues, so fortunately have never encountered this kind of a problem!
 
I'm another one that's with Barbera a bit....while her reaction is a bit over the top I know how annoying it is when a few end up buying and everyone uses!
 
I'm with Barb on this one, how dare they use her nice wipes lol! Sending hugs to barb ;)

We just pee in the stable no loo roll involved just drip dry ;)
