When it comes to using the bathroom, there are certain rules of etiquette that people are usually expected to follow.
For instance, men are encouraged to remember to always put the toilet seat lid back down again after they've finished— common courtesy for the next person who needs to use the bathroom and may not need that seat to be up.
We could get into the specifics of how the roll should be replaced (Are you an over or under kind of person?) but for now we'll just say it's pretty standard that whoever empties the roll be the one who replaces it.
Especially if that bathroom happens to be the only one in the entire house. It's not really fair to everyone else if someone takes a seat on that ceramic throne for a while, leaving their family in a pretty awkward position if nature calls.
"My husband will oftentimes disappear into the bathroom for 45mins, an hour even one time close to 2 hours!" she wrote.
Two hours? Are we sure he didn't fall asleep in there? Who could possibly spend two hours in the bathroom?
The couple shares a son who the wife says can usually make do with his father's unreasonably long bathroom stays by going out to the backyard and relieving himself out there.
But it's a bit harder for mom.
In the post, she described an incident where she had to pee so bad that she begged her niece to drive her to her house, only to not be able to get into the home once they arrived.
Then they drove back to the wife's house where she "almost beat the door down" until her husband got the message and gave up the toilet.
"I remember being on maternity leave, and being so resentful that he would come home and disappear for an hour or so while I waited with our newborn," she wrote, "I was so mad that he could take that time for himself so easily when I couldn't even find 15 minutes to shower!"
This woman must have infinite patience if this has been going on for years.
"God forbid he pulls the dreaded "poop to shower" combo!" his wife wrote. "You will literally wait for hours! I have finally got him to where he will unlock the door before he jumps in the shower so we can at least get in to relieve ourselves."
Well, what a gentleman.
For anyone else, this would probably lead to about a million questions (first and foremost being, what is he even doing in there then?) but this wife truly doesn't care.
"I just want him to be more respectful of the fact that other people have needs too!"
"If he's knowingly forcing your son to use the toilet outside, then he's clearly in the wrong here," one user wrote in response.
Another insisted the wife speak up about her feelings towards her husband's bathroom habits and perhaps suggest he see a doctor if it really takes him that long to use the facilities.
Many suggested he was simply finding some peace and quiet and possibly catching up on his favorite phone games, while others got a bit more creative and proposed he might be doing drugs in the privacy of his own bathroom.
Perhaps it'll always be one of those great mysteries of life.
That is, until he finally tells his wife and she tells the internet.
