Angry

Utterly unfit for poopose.

Options :

One. It works. But, yunno, one sheet isn't enough, so you spend 17 minutes gently tugging the sheets out one by flicking one, so as to not break it. Ugh. Passable loo experience.

Two. It sort of works, but you can only grab confetti size pieces out, aided by tweezers, that I now carry around Just in case of NotsofarkingSmartOne encounters. Confetti loo roll? Won't catch on.

Three. No hope. You can see a brand new roll inside the cylinder of Doom. No arsing chance of reaching the sodding thing.

Humph. Double humph.

Wrist product EVER. But hey, saving pennies while not wiping up pennies matters.

Hmm

A smart loo roll thing. Like app enabled.

Do you ask Alexa for it?

I suspect that Chaosy has encountered one of these in a loo in a public establishment. I doubt she would have bought one for home - am I right?!

And, yes, you're right - they're a total PITA!

I know of someone who had one for home use. Getting any loo roll out was an art form.

My maternity hospital had these. Using two hundred bits of confetti to wipe up the post birth wee was grim, to say the least. I feel your pain OP.

I always enjoy the 'how many sheets can I get' challenge.

However one of my regularly used toilets have recently replaced them with normal dispensers. It isn't quite the same.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 25/11/2017 18:15

Home use??

That's crap!

I have such a terrible story about one of these I always make sure I pull out the necessary sheets (and leave some out for the next user) before even sitting down.

Long story short - I had to use paper from the BIN. Shock
Awful things. AWFUL.

And if you try to persuade the new roll to come down by wriggling your hand inside it gets stuck when you grasp it - your hand that is - the loo roll is wedged in there snd will not budge.

MagicalAnimal · 25/11/2017 18:33

I have thought this for a long time. They often have these in pubs and clubs too. I swear pissed up people just push the loo roll back in so that the next person can't use it. So not only can it break off and then you are stuck, if someone wants to be vindictive or just "funny", it causes problems.

They are literally the most stupid design to ever grace this planet.

I've been caught short many a time by those little blighters.

They should be called 'Shit One'.
