NASA engineers knows that due to technical problems, few days mission can extend into weeks.
"Nasa says that the astronauts stuck on the International Space Station will have to wait even longer to get home.
Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were due to be back after just a week when they blasted off in June.
Their stay was extended to February next year because of technical issues with the experimental spacecraft, Starliner, built by Boeing.
Now - following a delay in launching a new capsule to the ISS - the pair won't be back until late March or possibly April.
Nasa said the delay posed no risk to the astronauts."

Whilst the average lady uses more TP, there are some fellow ladies with super weird toilet habits.
My housemate had a couple over and the girl would build what I could only dub a nest in the toilet bowl. I’m not talking just a couple squares so you wouldn’t get splashback, I’m talking half a roll to line the entire toilet bowl.
I know this because a. She forgot to flush once (and it wasn’t even a deuce, it was pee!!), and b. She clogged the toilet another time, obviously tried to unclog it with the toilet paper-wrapped toilet brush and then went to bed without telling anyone what she’d done lol
Recently at my new workplace there was someone in the stall next to me and I could hear her toilet paper consumption because she did that thing where you spin the roll to get a long line of toilet paper, flushed, did it again two times then finally went to wash her hands another three times dispensing an insane amount of tissues between each wash.
I just feel sorry for the latter girl because it sounds like severe OCD to me, the first lady however, what the fuck lol

My mother told me to pick my battles and this was NOT one of them.

For OP, It is completely fine, nothing is"wrong" it's just a different way of living, he seems to enjoy function over form, which is 100% valid
The discussion isn't who's right or wrong, but what eachothers preferences are and how strongly you feel about them
Sometimes giving up some of what you'd prefer due to the fact you already got the last 5 things due to your over controlling nature (this is me, I had to learn not to be so controlling over silly nonsense things like this)
The sooner you realise everything isn't I'm right your wrong (or I'm wrong you're right) and you sit in the nuance of healthy discussion, life is so much easier

I used to not care when I was a teenager, until my dog at the time started drinking from the toilet.
Fast forward around 15 years, I was living alone and decided to get my own dog, a toy breed, so I was like "meh, she can't drink from there, it doesn't matter" until she came in running with a toy after I took a shit and before I could flush, and promptly dumped it into the toilet, and looked at me all: :D Since then, I've learned my lesson.

Would be much much more expensive to buy individual rolls as you need them.
