Toilet roll.

I don't buy-excuse the pun-shit toilet roll. I buy the decent stuff, that's rolled out and on by puppies, or bounced on by Koalas, or chased around by kittens, or some other cutesy advertising rubbish that "justifies" the price.

THREE FUCKING ROLLS OF IT IN ONE DAY!!! And of course, NO ONE else could possibly think to change it when it is empty...nooooo, we will leave the saddest looking shred of macerated tissue perilously dangling off the barren brown roll until Mum does it.

WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH IT?!?

Writing poetry? Origami? Making some kind of elaborate early Hallowe'en costume?

Are they selling it on the black market?!

Light hearted thread. Ish.

Also it gets delivered so no having to run to the shops every few days for a restock.... the biggest plus point for me

I buy the bumboo toilet roll.....it lasts for ages. With 3 in the house one roll lasts 3 or 4 days.....

There’s less of it per roll, I think and it’s thinner, so you use more each visit.

How many are there to be using three rolls a day though. Are they practising bandaging?

Haha

I had a housemate in uni who was an absolute sod for this. When questioned about it he'd get defensive and tell us "I need to be clean!"
Would have been cheaper to hop in the shower honestly...

lol I like your tone
one can only imagine you’ve got peach bottomed aristocrats who await mamman refilling the poop paper

Certainly Sainsbury's have reduced the quantity of the rolls/made them less dense. It's noticeable if you have an old roll at the back of the cupboard.
