I like when toilet paper hangs

[OmegaPDPrez]

I dont know about you guys but i absolutely like it when i use a public restroom and the toilet paper hangs from the despenser. It assures me that there is at least 3 or four squares for me to use. And i can avoid having to squeeze two fingers and a thumb to try and pinch my way to getting some to fall out holder. I thought that I would just share this with you all and any comments are appreciated.

I completely understand. I hate "taking the chance" when I'm in a hurry!

isnt this more of a "random" thread kind of post?


sidenote: my favorite stall at work is constantly out of paper. someone convienently left a box of kleenex for backup. i appreciate that, random co-worker!

wierd topic but whatever, i'll bite. yeah, it is nice to know that there is toilet paper; however, i can get so grossed out by public restrooms (even if the restroom is spotless, i hate the thought that tons of people have been in there). if i see toilet paper hanging, i'll take off at least a layer of tissue from the roll, before i get to what i actually want to use. i know it is odd, but it gives me some sort of peace of mind.

When I first read the title, I thought it was going to be a survey of whether you like your TP to hang over or under the roll....

and the answer is - OVER. OVer the roll. Are you listening, hubby??

I always take off the hanging part.

see that's always my thought, especially in a public restroom.

Hey, I'm happy when mine even takes the time to change the roll...and we have the kind that's just a hook, it's not like you even have to mess with that spring-loaded deal. You just nudge the used roll off, it falls in the trash below and you slide the new one on. It's not magic.

C'mon, AlphaFrog - you know all little boys are told that it IS magic. That the toilet paper fairy will come when no one is around, and replace the roll. It's maaaaaaaaggggggic . . .

That is exactly why I remove layer of toilet paper from the roll before use. Gross.

you think thats bad? mines wont let me keep an extra roll in the bathroom! i usually have one under our sink or in the magazine basket, and it always winds up back in the hall closet on the top shelf...i will never understand the logic in that. i do enjoy when he runs out and asks me to get him a new roll. i usually say no.

That's the first lesson in potty training my little boy is going to learn. My daughter actually learned even before she started training (you know that stage, where they're facinated with the potty...especially the flushing part, but aren't quite ready to use it...) where the extra TP was.

And one thing that always impressed me about my ex boyfriend...he lived in a house with his brother and his dad, and that toilet seat was ALWAYS down. 3 men, no women, toilet seat down. Amen.

Who started this potty talk anyway?

May I recommend that be the SECOND thing he learns? Putting the seat UP should be the first. My son used to "forget" to put the seat up. My husband used to find it funny when I would scream from the bathroom when I would discover the mess (usually becuase I would sit in it). Anyway, then my husband got his when he discovered that the toilet was not properly sealed around the base, and the extra pee that ran down the sides was actually getting into the subfloor- which not only gave the bathroom a wonderful aroma that you couldn't get rid of, but it caused damage to the subfloor that had to be ripped out and replaced. He doesn't find it so funny anymore.

I agree. I won't use public restrooms at all, for this very reason. I always use the bathroom before I leave home. I avoid public restrooms at all cost. The only time I didn't have much of a choice was at an amusement park. Those restrooms are really really gross, but I don't think anyone has a choice with all the water and pop that's consumed at an amusement park.
