folks, i really need your help badly on this one. i just got a laptop and a wireless hub for the office so i will never have to be out of touch with the board even during those "private" moments at the work-place. it's working out great, and i'm much happier and my digestive process seems to be working out better now that i don't have to take a break from the board for those pesky bowel movements. which leads me to my problem.
how many squares of toilet paper are acceptable as "fair use" in a rest-room that is shared by a whole floor of offices? i mean i would have thought that like 8 is not out of the question but now that i'm sitting here it seems like a lot even though i kinda think that it might be necessary. what do some folks out there think? more or less? i mean it's not like toilet paper is that expensive, but you know this might not be the environmentally friendly kind and i would hate to think that i'm contributing to the waste of natural resources by using too much.
please i need some help folks asap!!
haha! muey funny Pappa. and i see your concern, it's bad etiquette to take to much or too little. I go with three squares, and one extra on the extra soft variety cuze i like how it feels. helps? lol
but this is like that really thin kind that's not absorbent at all! only three???
anybody else, please!
well if it's the cheap variety, you should petition for a better, more firm (Charmin, anyone?) brand. but if it's flimsy, i'd say good etiquette would be 6 or 7. Depending on the size and consistency of the number.
see, that's what i thought. thanks so much, tboo.
but, omg! i can't believe you people are leaving me hanging like this!
OMG! Maybe this report can help.
The study was limited to a small age group, but it does provide baseline assesment and qualitative research into Hygeine practices and consumption of hygeine materials over a period of more than 18 months.
Good luck, Papa!

papa. Why even ask? No one can see how much you're using! Take as much as you need. Sounds like there's no bidet in your office bathroom - what kind of barbarians do you work for, anyway??
omg, no, rath! there's a meter on the dispenser and they are dispensed by pushing a button, it's really new.
thank you soooooo much, bta!
a toilet paper meter? You're still working for the Dodgers then?
ha ha! very funny, rath, but i really would like a concensus opinion here, folks, as things are starting to dry up.

Sweet Lord, papa, doesn't ANYBODY think for themself anymore?
Now you too have now joined the ranks of those requiring even the most basic of information or opinion validation. And from strangers, no less. Here...let me take you by the hand...
How sad that you can't decide how to wipe your own ass.
Now buck up. Make a decision. You know you're up to the task. And if you can't reach a decision for yourself, then think about all the children who look up to you. Set an example. You know what the right thing to do is. Just do it.
omg! etoile you are so mean! i'm just trying to get a little help from my friends, is that so wrong?

It's call tough love, papa. Tough Love.
Or I could get all Kung Fu on you, Grasshopper, and explain that within each cocoon is a beautiful butterfly waiting to emerge. Just make your own decision when to flap your wings.
well, the flapping part is pretty much done now...
Perhaps you could use 1 to 2 handiwipes instead. Or did you have Indian food last night?
omg, omg, omg! handiwipes?? are you serious??? who carries handiwipes? please this is a serious discussion and if that's all you have to add, then please just butt out!
Listen, I've taken your crap long enough. If you can't wipe away the hostility and flush the sarcasm, then I'll have to bid you a dieu.
you said "whip"? you said, "if you can't whip away the hosility..." i'll thank you to keep your twisted little s&m fantasies out of a serious thread in which thoughtful, caring posters are helping me deal with a tremendous delimma!
Depends on how big an ass you are. In your case, I'd say the whole role would be in order. Wipe away!
Hey papa... s#!t or get off the pot!!!

Papa, first of all, you are really great.
And b) you haven't filled us in on all the details. Is this a restroom shared by everybody, men, women and ladies, too? If so, you really need to consider that. Because ladies and women need the TP even for things that we just shake or tap, if you know what I mean.
What you're experiencing is one of life's little tests. And I am sure you'll make the right decision and get 100!
curtain did you make in inadvertant conjuction or was that a freudian slip?
ok, namo, here goes, it's a men's only restroom. i know how discriminatory that is, right? and i tried to start a petition to change the building facilities over to to unisex, but my i kept getting dirty looks and slammed doors and security said if i didn't stop, they'd have to call the police. i mean where else would i find women to sign the petition and to point out to them why it's a good idea than in the women's room? sheesh, people can be so dense. so, since it's a male only environment we don't have to worry about the female need for extra squares. but that's the kind of issue that i would not have even thought of, i mean god, really! so thanks for helping me out there, namo, you're a true gentleman and a humanitarian.
Maybe you should go without. It's for the good of the environment and all.
