    Let’s compile a list of the different ways she can make use of the toilet paper to piss her roommate off:
    1. As napkins while eating spare ribs.
    2. Confetti to throw in his face every time he walks in the door.
    3. Notes left around the house reminding him of everything he does wrong.
    4. Invite some friends over to play the “who can wrap somebody up as a mummy fastest” party game.
    5. Buy baby dolls and make diapers for them.
    6. Create a flowing veil and toilet paper flower bouquet and walk around humming “Here comes the bride.”

      There is no such thing as a flushable baby wipe. Honestly. Even if it says “flushable” on the package, they are LYING. A NYTimes piece I read included this hilarious gem:

      “I agree that they’re flushable,” said Tim Haapala, operations manager for the Charleston [W. Virginia] Sanitary Board. “A golf ball is flushable, but it’s not a good idea.”

      We had to deal with a $300US emergency plumbing repair here in my building, recently, after the main sewer connection backed up into the basement. (Exactly as gross as it sounds.) The obstruction that our poor, heroic plumber pulled out of the line was roughly the size of a very large, overfed cat, and consisted entirely of wipes, sanitary napkins, condoms, and (someow) even a few condom wrappers.

      Wipes clogging up their plumbing and machinery is becoming a major crisis for a lot of municipal systems, too. (Source: Same NYTimes article.) Seriously, if you must use those things, throw them in the trash. I have the world’s tiniest trashcan in my bathroom, for that exact purpose.

      Or, yaknow, just use toilet paper!

    (Rant) Okay…not everyone needs the same amount of toilet paper. People can’t really control it. Some of us have messy bowel movements, some of us have clean ones. And us women usually need more-it’s not a choice, it’s a fact of nature.

    Yeah, sorry for the rant. My father was pretty grumpy about other people’s toilet paper use. He was convinced that his children were driving him into poverty by forcing him to actually buy more toilet paper when at the store. (And this was years AFTER we’d left the toddler-unroll-all-the tp-rolls years behind.)

    When I lived in the dorms, I had a roommate (female) who tried to convince the rest of our roommates (also female) that we were only allowed to use 2 squares of toilet paper per toilet use.

    There had been An Argument as it was discovered the suite of six had been using 1.2 rolls of Charmin per day, and some people did not want to pay for it.

    Turned out, the University provided toilet paper for apartment-style dorms…you just had to ask the RA for it. Argument ended.

    If they split the cost, then he doesn’t get to complain.

    I used to share a house with two others, and only two of us would buy toilet paper. And the third girl would run through rolls within a week – we knew this because the two of us who actually did the purchasing had lived together before, and we had never run out at that rate.

    The only problem was the non-purchasing by the highest user.

    Somehow this makes me feel better about the rooming house where our landlord sifted through the trash and scolded us for anything recyclable in the wrong place. (Including shaking an empty toilet paper roll in our faces.)

    Now that I think of it, there was also a peeping-tom boarder who watched the women pee through the hole in the bathroom door, but I think we’ve heard enough about pee-pee in the news lately.

      I’d watch women pee through a hole in a bathroom door, too, just for the acrobatic artistry of it!

      Of course, a lot depends on the placement of the hole– and whether “the women” pee serially, or en masse.
