To 'borrow' toilet roll from an old folks home

[Jasonthunderpants]

A few sundays ago we where getting low on toilet paper. We get the shopping delivered on a Weds aft. Normally I would use newspaper untill it arrived but I was hosting the coffee morning on Weds and didnt want newspaper in the loo (what would my coffee morning ladies think?)
I didnt want to buy some from Dick Turpins down the road as he is expensive.How expensive I hear you cry,well let me tell you. His packets of dried herbs are 50% more expensive than a shop 3 miles away 99p compared to 66p and I only needed a roll to tide me over untill Weds aft.
So I had a plan
On monday aft we go to the surestart group in the community center attached to old folks flats and I borrowed a roll from them,they normaly smell of wee anyway and wouldnt miss one roll.
Anyway IANBU just carefull with money
DW says I am tight but I dont like spending money unnecessary
Just because I used to take toilet paper from work before I met her, she thinks I am going back to my bad habbits

I am glad somebody else can see the sense of borrowing toilet paper
A good tip for all you MNers who work is to make sure you have a poo at work because that way you are using works water,paper and time.
I used to enjoy pooing at work because that way I was being paid to poo, never poo in your breaks always make sure you poo in works time

I already do!

Lynette
50% of 66 is 33
Add 33 to 66 = 99
That is 50% more
I know I am just finishing my 2nd port and lemon and am a bitt dizzy but that is right

isnt it

DH half-inched some that was supposed to go in a holder - the ones that come out like tissues. Everytime I tried to lift one off the top, I got a chain if about 50 coming after it. It was a nightmare... karma I guess.

Did you pinch one of those jumbo rolls? I can just see you rolling it out of the old fogies home like a child rolling a tyre, looking over your shoulder!

ASLD
I did take one of those huge ones from the local pub.
I went for a tinkle and saw it sat on the window sill so I took my coat of and wrapped it up.

DW wasnt impressed. She actually told her sister I took one from her house. We had not been going out long and this was the first time I met her sister (we had a nice meal at her house)I was so embaressed

Jason, you need a bidet mate - no more loo-roll thievery necessary!

butterfly
a what?

40 bloody dollars,you must be joking
Call me a traditionalist/dinosaur what you will but I will stick to toilet paper

We got one of those toilet brushes last year,you may of seen them(little brushes in a holder by the side of the toilet) anyway I sent it back DW liked it but it gave me a rash and made my bum sore

Now there's an image to take to bed with me

Jason, I'm enjoying a glass of wine...I struggled to get a C in GCSE maths, and have no idea...off to consult DH.

Dude. Seriously?!

You wipe your ass with newspaper and you steal.

You got ishoos. Bad ishoos.

DH agrees with you.

I've only read the OP but...borrow toilet paper??? Are you going to use it and then give it back?

Thieve, more like.

when I was back packing and in HK for 3 months I used to borrow loo paper from here I used to borrow the loo aswell

cos I lived in here chung King mansions

Why didn't you take it from the sure start centre?

Oh and I used coffee filters when short they are softer.

How did I know this was you?

Ha, ha wonderful waste of two minutes reading.

look the toilet paper was in the toilet for public use. If I had a poo there and then would that be stealing? no it wouldnt
I am not missing out on free toilet paper just because I didnt want a poo at the time so I took it home to enjoy at my lesiure in the comfort of my own home
Just like the little ketchup sachets in pubs I take those home aswell.why should I miss out on freebies just because I dont need them there and then?
Interesting fact
It takes 185ish of those sachets of ketchup to fill a medium sized bottle
Impress your chums with that one the next time you are out having a meal

It's official- you are tighter than a ducks' arse, Jason!

'Borrowing' something implies that the item will be returned so it is only fair, Jason, that you permit Saga coach trips and the like to use your facilities.
It keeps the karma thing neat.

DH says, how big would your poo have been to justify taking a whole roll?

And will you be refraining form having a poo there for the next few years to make up for stealing borrowing a roll?

He also asks; are you a looking after your DC because you lost your job as a banker, you thieving bastard?
