Khazi Konunundrum

Toilet tissue dispensers are the work of the Devil and that is that. No-one knows how to load them properly and you end up with the closest available sheet of tissue stuck about 1/16” further inside than your fingers can comfortably reach. This means that you have to perform contortions that a normal human being is not designed for in the best of circumstances, when you are not in the best of circumstances.

The damned things are virtually indestructible too, so prising them open, or off the cubicle wall is not generally an option and if it was, you just know that the entire kit and keboodle would skitter across the tiled floor into another cubicle, stopping just 1/16” further inside than you could comfortably reach even in the best of circumstances.

And so the spiral continues downwards until there can be no happy outcome.

Hah! I agree. We had one which had clearly gotten wet somehow before being loaded. I don't want to know how. All stuck together and impossible to pull.

They are infernal contraptions but I think this is sometimes irresponsibility on the part of other users. I always have a wierd inclination to sort this sort of thing out - because I'm sure if someone doesn't then eventually the whole of society will just collapse.

It's much like women who hover over public toilet seats, dowsing them liberally, because of an apparent hygiene risk. There wasn't before, love, but now you've hosed it liberally with your urine and left it to ferment, I think we can safely say there is.

Ahh, the joys of public toilets.
