Am I wrong for being mad my roommate never buys toilet paper?
You've bought the toilet paper every single time and they act like it just appears. Here's who's actually in the wrong when nobody restocks the bathroom.
The one who always buys it
They've noticed the roll running low every time and replaced it every time, which means they're quietly funding and managing a shared supply on their own. Asking someone to notice an empty holder once in a while isn't nagging — it's the bare minimum of sharing a bathroom.
The roommate who never buys it
They genuinely never see it empty because someone else always gets there first, and nobody ever said "hey, it's your turn" — they'd have paid up if asked instead of being silently resented for months. They also cover other shared stuff, like dish soap and trash bags, that goes just as unthanked.
The verdict
Who's at fault
The roommate who never buys it is more in the wrong here. The roommate who never buys it is mostly in the wrong here. "I didn't notice" stops being an excuse after the tenth time — if you've lived somewhere for months and never once bought the thing everyone uses daily, you're not oblivious, you're coasting on someone else's attention. Shared supplies are a shared cost, and noticing is part of the work. But the one keeping score isn't blameless either. Months of silent resentment while quietly restocking isn't a system, it's a trap — the other person can't fix a rule they were never told existed. One text asking to split it would have solved this before it became a fight.
“"I didn't notice" stops being an excuse around the tenth roll.”
