You know what I hate?

November 8, 2009 By 19 Comments

When you go into a public bathroom and try to pull toilet paper off the roll and it has a stopper on it that only allows 1-1/2 sheets to come down.  So in order to get a normal SANITARY amount of toilet paper I have to take the paper and roll it backwards over the roll to get more.

STUPID.

ANNOYING.

I would like 5 minutes alone with the person who invented that…

I have enough struggles in my daily life, TOILET PAPER should not be one of them.

    LMAO – I swear up a storm when that happens to me…it had to be a man who invented that (no offense men), as they don’t use TP as much as us. SO ANNOYING!! I’ll join you in that 5 minute meeting, okay? LOL

    Can I send this blog post over to my employer? Seriously!

    They do provide us with reading material by posting company memos on the bathroom stall doors.

    I wish I was kidding. :/

    AMEN, I absolutely hate those things and trying to line the seat with paper using those? IMPOSSIBLE!

    Well, yeah. It can take awhile like that… Especially because I need to make that pretty white toilet seat hat before I sit… ;)

      Know what I love? When they have those paper seat covers…still doesn’t make up for the annoying stopper on the toilet paper but sure helps make things easier.

    I need copious amounts of TP, too. What was the name of the celebrity who was trying to get people to commit to using one square in order to save trees? crazy! I like to think of myself as eco-conscious, but my clean behind is one area I cannot compromise!

    I know what you mean. My pet peeve is filthy bathrooms. At least we no longer have to pay to use the facilities. My mom told me that at airports and other public places you couldn’t open the stall door without inserting a dime. Too weird!

    I like the paper towel dispensers that give you about 4″ worth. Madeline usually pumps that thing until the paper reaches the floor, and I’m yelling “Stop! Stop!”

    Oh, and the spare roll of toilet paper that is locked in the dispenser at the top. and toilet doors with no locks that keep opening. You have to hold them shut with your foot.

    I totally agree. Another pet peeve – toilet DOORS with no LOCKS
