No, I wasn't stuck in the bathroom with no toilet paper... Actually my problem is with toilet paper dispensers - the ones in public restrooms.
The first kind is what I refer to as a "contortionist dispenser". These are dispensers that when you are sitting on the toilet, you have to almost touch your head to the floor and bend your arm at an odd, uncomfortable angle just to reach the underside of the dispenser to pull the paper out. If you've never had the...joy....of seeing/using one of these, if you're in Sikeston (and a female....unless you're a guy and want to risk sneaking into the girls' bathroom. Lol), you can find a "contortionist toilet paper dispenser" in the Wal Mart there (the one back by grocery). If you have seen/used one, you, too, know how incredibly annoying they are!
The second one is what I like to call a "one sheet dispenser" or a "paper rationing dispenser". These are the dispensers that when you pull on the toilet paper, one square rips off in your hand or you might get lucky and end up with 2 or 3 sheets. So you end up having to pull, get one sheet, pull, get one sheet, pull, get one sheet.... I don't know about you, but I'm not fond of wiping and ending up with....whatever....on my hand (:/ ewww) and the majority of the time in a public restroom you're going to find cheap and/or one ply paper. So to maintain an "ewww free" hand, you end up pulling ang ripping off one sheet for a while just to get enough paper in your hand. If you've not been frustratingly annoyed with these wonnnnderful dispensers.... *jealous!!*, and would like to keep it that way, avoid the women's bathroom at Arby's in Sikeston.
Yes, I know this has been an odd post, but I guess I'm just really passionate about my toilet paper. ; ) If you have any comments, I'd love to hear them. If you've encountered any of these frustrating dispensers or have a different one you'd like to share, leave a comment.

A Pair Equals.... One?
My boyfriend recently decided he needed some new eyes (contacts and glasses) so he shopped around and ended up going to Marion Eye Center in Sikeston.
He went in for his eye exam and picked out his glasses and contacts. They told him that 3 pair of contacts would be $80 (this is an approximate price, my memory is horrible, so I can't remember the exact amount...). Then it was time to wait for his contacts to come in......
When they called him to come pick them up, they told him the price was double what they had originally quoted him. He, of course, asked why. He told them that he was told half that price for 3 pair. The lady at the desk simply asked "Oh, is that what you would like to do? Just the three pair for [$80]?" Well since that's what he had agreed to in the first place, he told her yes. When he got home with his contacts, there were 6 contacts in the box.... All for his right eye only! He called and told them and they said that yes, that as "3 pair".... What he had asked for.
So, apparently, at the Marion Eye Center they seem to believe people only have one eye on their face. Or, maybe they just really believe that 6 contacts for one eye really is "3 pair".
Any comments? Anyone else dealt with Marion Eye Center? How was your experience?
