Toilet Paper Blues

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 een/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.
