I visited a school once for a week where instead of a normal toilet system based around water pressure, most of the school employed one based on a jet system. What you "dropped" into it would be sucked through this golfball size hole. It looked super cool. When it worked. Problem was if you dropped anything not made of poo or the size of ping-pong ball into it, say a maxi-pad, it would brake down. And seing as the whole system was based around some kind of closed circuit of negative pressure or something, when one toilet broke down, ALL the toilets in the place broke down.

This just happened to take place when about a thousand people were attending the place for a build week. Every assembly took place in the sports hall, which of course only used this system. Every single toilet were clocked up and since half the attendants were kids with the brains of a wallnut, within a day most of the toilets were full to the brim with toiletpaper and crap. Next day the whole place stank to high heaven. It ended up with all meeting having to take place out on the lawn.

There should be an option: I am Gem Windcaster, and I don't care about paper folding as long as the paper is soft.

It's called scrunge up, or as we civilised peoples spell it, scrunch. You filthy antiorigamiist.

Why so specific, Apt? Did you drop the maxipad in the toilet?

If so, what the hell were you doing with a maxi-pad?



I am confused...

[Aptorian]

Apparently it happened a lot and usually the problem was some girl dropping her hygiene thingies into the toilets. Or pranks, with some idiot trying to feed the toilet a whole roll of paper.

[hmqb]

NO EVERYBODY IS WRONG! You must understand that toilet paper must be hung from the cieling. In a long fine wire made from the tusk of an elephant. It must be unwrapped slowly and aged from 6 to 8 years. Atleast thats what I do.

I have never seen a rat in Alberta and if I ever do, I will immediately alert the authorities (these Authorities) so that they can either kill it or send it back to Saskatchewan where it belongs. I've seen a cockroach  in a shady hotel I stayed in on a road trip. I promptly stepped on it.




@OP I went with B and fold.

other- sitting on top of the package they came in.

my roller still has the cardboard centre from when my sister last visited about a year ago.

[Gust Hubb]

What ever happened to the colostomy bag or bidet options?

[frookenhauer]

Good god! The 1st topic I've wanted to really add my farthings worth to, and have had time to do so, and it has to be about poo

Student!

Actually I have never really thought about how the roll should sit in relation to the wall and just went for a. After serious (albeit momentary) consideration I realise it may have something to do with it being easier to grasp if it is away from the wall. I have learnt something.

If I ever realise someone is a scrunger/crumpler, I will refuse to shake their hand. Folding is most definitely the way to go.

Blast! That angry creature that I call my wife wants to know why I aint in bed, bugger me If I'm telling her I'm posting a reply to a conversation about loo roll etiquette...

Oh and I am not dolorous menhir as I like optimal absorbtion from my bum wiping tools

The way toilet paper should be used....

[Use Of Weapons]

Given my druthers, I'd be a B-fold. Unfortunately, the conformation of the holders at my flat requires me to adopt an A-fold position, which causes me uncommon distress until the roll is sufficiently depleted to swap around.

[Grimjust Bearegular]

The toilet paper holder in my new apartment is too close to the toilet, and I have to twist awkwardly to get it....Naturally, I destroyed it and now have my toilet paper on the counter beside the loo.

[Jade-Green Pig-Hog Swine-Beast]

I wonder, does it matter whether the roll is positioned to your left or to your right, when you sit on the toilet?

[Grimjust Bearegular]

Yes, I think so....In the old apartment it was on the left, in my new it's on the right. It's weird.

[Aptorian]

Since I made this thread, a discussion like this came up, and I found out a guy I know wipes while standing. Which is just plain bizarre.

[Jade-Green Pig-Hog Swine-Beast]

[Shiara]

With regards to the fold vs. scrunch part of the debate, does anyone here wind? And by that I mean, do you use both hands to wind the paper into a mini roll which you then flatten for the purpose of wiping.

[Illuyankas]

I believe that counts as folding.

[Kanese S's]

Indeed, that is the folding technique I use.

I start with A, though. I guess because it makes it easier to tell where the end is. Just seems right.

Also, I prefer the roll be mounted on my left. I think that's just because the bathroom from the house I grew up in had it on the left.
