Major pathetic yard conflict

To be honest, I think it only seems common courtesy for Katie to replace Barbara's wipes and apologise to her for that incident. Taking someone's wipes - that you know aren't yours - to use on your horse is not on imo.

Fair enough, you might swipe one to wipe your bits if you forget your roll, but that's totally different to deliberately using a whole pack on a horse.

Stick a sign on the front of the loo door reminding people to take their loo roll in, and put another sign on the inside of the loo door reminding people to take their rolls back out with them. Problemo solved.
 
I cannot believe this post has now created 7 pages! and whats worse...I read them all :D

I am so glad I am not at your livery yard! usually little things end up HUGE and the issue is probably not the loo roll...you may find she has had other things 'borrowed' too!

It used to drive me mad...but in this case I would just go and buy a mass of Tesco value rolls and leave them in the loo....really not worth the argument.

Also, when she starts bitching just try and say nothing, if you do not offer an ear she will soon stop coming.
 
Jeeeeezzzzz how silly. Yes annoying but not that serious... think this is prob fairly normal at livery yards!!!

Ok, why not all put £1 in and buy a multipack... no more arguements!

Hahaha, this thread has brightened up my afternoon! I don't even have a tiolet at my yard, we have to squat! Could you not bring our own tissues up?

LOL, don't you find you get silent stare from you horse though, mine never looks impressed. Horse-:mad: Me-:o

This thread with Babs and Kate sounds a bit like the foot massage sketch in Pulp Fiction and we all know how that ends. I'd be tempted to plant some wipes - with a sprinkling of itching powder, you'd soon find the culprit :eek:
 
I don't blame her for locking her bog roll up!! I did exactly the same when a woman at my yard kept using it all and never replacing it or paying a penny out! She was a well-off woman too with lots of cash to splash around - by her own admission! I wouldn't have minded but nobody saw eye to eye with this woman or would speak to her because she had caused so much trouble - and yet she would still take it!
 
3 options suitable for making everyone realise its a daft situation:

1) buy ultra cheapy bog roll, wrap it up extravagently with a large bow/wrapping paper etc and put an anonymous gift tag on it saying " To everyone, Happy Belated Easter.". Repeat for silly occasions e.g. "To everyone, Happy Jubilee" "Happy Monday" etc.

2) Cut newspaper into squares, punch a hole in a corner, thread onto a bit of string and hang in the bathroom.

3) (My favourite) buy glow in the dark bog roll from amazon or play.com etc. about a fiver. Remove packaging, iIt gives away the secret!) and leave it in the bog for everyone to use. Husbands and boyfriends will soon start to question why the phantom loo roll users have a glow in the dark bottom and bits... the glow in the dark covering rubs off Much embarassment and lols :D
 
Leave a big roll of Izal "skiddy bum paper" in the loo and see how many people want to use that!

Always have one of those mini tissue packs in your pocket - Kleenex Balsam of course - so you are not subjected to said skiddy bum paper and watch the rolls of normal bog roll mount up!

We have toilets - paper provided, basins and showers so "loo wars" never erupt.

It does seem quite pathetic, however....

I think we are all the same over little things which we buy and then others use! The others must have known it was not their loo roll, wipes etc! So they should not have used, or asked before they used, and considering everyone needs to bring their own anyway they shouldn't have been caught short.
 
You're lucky, the yard I used to go riding at had a separate men's and women's toilet, I've now been demoted to no toilet at all...but our yard is next to a pub...so I usually sneak in there ;) and get a cheeky drink while I'm at it..I won't tell if you don't.
 
I haven't read all of it yet :D :D

I feel sorry for Barbara, sharing a yard with these people.

Exactly what were they going to use if she had not happened to leave stuff in the loo :D :D

I can sort of see her point, its her loo roll and unless she gives permission no one else should use it, even if she leaves it where she shouldnt.just stay out if the argument and be obvious that you use your own!
 
Do I win in the loo stakes? We have four Loos. Two for men and two for women with loo roll, soap and a hand dryer! We even have bleach, loo blues, sanitary bins and wait for it.......

A toilet brush!!!!!
All provided by the yard.
So do I win?

I can also beat the pinching loo roll. Some of our liveries recently moved yars
 
Why don't you all chip in a couple of quid a week or similar and buy loo roll, soap, wipes etc and then no one "wins"!

What if you are caught short and don't have your loo roll on you! Bloody hell that is just nasty!
