• Change the roll

  My current (temporary) living situation has me sharing a bathroom with a couple of people.  Three others to be exact, split between two rooms.  There is one toilet, two sinks, and one shower.  Occasionally, this will cause a minor inconvenience, such as timing of showers, or the fact that the toilet has a tank that does not fill up quickly enough to allow two people to pee in rapid succession.  Often, the yell of “Don’t flush,” is made to speed the process.

  However, one thing still poses an issue: the toilet paper.  I swear that for the first month and a half, my roommate and I were the only ones that changed the roll, or got additional rolls for the room.  at some point, I think we both began to silently boycott doing this.  Amazingly, rolls continue to show up in the room.  However, there always seems to be an empty cardboard tube on the toilet paper roller.

  It seems that way, because there always is.  Apparently, we are all so lazy that we will not remove the cardboard tube.  Instead, we take the new roll, and set it on top of teh holder with the empty tube.  If that runs out, someone will eventually throw that tube out, but there have been times where there was an empty tube on the roll, an empty tube on top of that, and then a full roll next to that.

  Black6, out.
