    Looks like the office version of anti-homeless architecture. Most likely intended to serve the same purpose.

    I’m becoming less convinced feudalism ever actually ended…

      I don’t see why it makes any difference whether it’s two-ply coiled 50 times around the roll, or one-ply coiled 100 times around the roll.

      I actually prefer a handful of one ply. It’s soft and there are more gaps between the plys which makes your handful puffier. You just have to take a longer piece. If that extra effort results in people conserving over time: great.

      As a person with bidet at home, I actually carry my own paper when I poo in public places.

      I do know that makes me insane.

      Except when it’s that thin and crappy, some of it’s going to break off no matter how much you use.

      You can use a lot of it to make the company spend more money refilling, sure, but you can’t do a decent wipe with that crap, pun intended, no matter what you do with it.

    Hopefully they realize it won’t save them anything when people use an entire roll every time they shit.

    Obviously unpopular opinion, but I prefer one ply. The fluffy stuff always leaves lint which I think is pretty gross. I also find it more adjustable, like maybe I only need one square to wipe up a little toothpaste but I can also use three feet to wipe my ass.

      Ok so I prefer 1-ply for the same reason on those 1000 sheet rolls, but … look at it. One-ply isn’t the issue with this tissue. This is at another level.

      You should give the Charmin Strong a try if you haven’t. I hate the soft and fluffy ones as they leave lint like you said. I’ve never had an issue like that with the strong.

      Only the cheap fluffy stuff leaves lint. I’ve got all kinds of digestive problems and I use a lot of toilet paper. I would definitely know. But I buy the good stuff (Cottonelle is the best, by the way).

      If I have to, over the course of three to five minutes, origami together an elaborate construct of translucent bullshit in order to get a single wipes worth of toilet paper it will ruin my fucking week. If it still fails, which it has before, I will keep the trauma in my mind for a month before I can bury it under something worse. I would wipe my ass with a shower towel if they were dispensed in appropriately sized strips.

      I will die on an adjacent hill.

    I used to work in a warehouse that had toilet paper like this.

    Funny thing was, it was a warehouse full of toilet paper. So there was typically a roll of something better in the bathroom, sitting on top of the dispenser.

    You should see/try socialist/communist toilet paper. Not only is it thin like this, it will also no-so-gently exfoliate your anus.

      More like totalitarian toilet paper

      Real stateless, classless societies could probably come up with something less barbaric than smearing your asshole with earth-destroying lumber

        Traveling with school to Poland and Czechia in the late 90s we were told to always bring our own TP if using public restrooms. Not because of the quality, as much as because of the non-existence, of TP.

        30 teens were rolling into Poland each with at least one roll of TP in the luggage. No one had to use it.

          When I studied in China I was always reminded to take a tp roll with me

          Once I forgot, and I realized that even in a KFC the tp was missing in the toilet

    I would start bringing my own toilet paper.

    Or would check out the toilets on the floor where the management offices are.

      And reward their shittiness by buying your own paper?

        Just keep unrolling all of it into the toilet and flushing. Let it clog up. If management makes a stink say you have ibs or some health issue and with the tp so thin you just end up going through alot of it for medical reasons. This isnt a battle won directly or honestly. You need government backing. It needs to shift from you vs them to them vs a larger entity of power.

        That is of course if this isnt in a state or place where the government has no oversight about unfair dismissal.

        Is this too much for better toilet paper? No. Fuckem. Tp is cheap they are cutring corners in the wrong places. If a business cant afford standard toilet paper they have no right existing. If they are in the red but operating, they can afford tp. If they are doing good, they can afford tp. If there are bonuses going to literally any staff member, they can afford to buy tp. Theres no scenario where its ok that my fingers slip through these rice papers and i get shit under my fingernails.

        If your colleague had just scooped shit under their fingernails and proceeded to literally clean the shit our of their hands for the next ten minutes, would you still feel comferable shaking their hands? Now imagine that happening to each and every one of your colleagues. Are they all gonna wash their hands for 10 minutes?

        If i worked here I would take a fucking black light to the kitchen to scare the biggest karens/loadmouths jn the company. Scare the living shit out of them. Make them sick. Let THEM run to HR. Let health and safety get involved.

        This is the kind of place that says we are a family but then you gotta bring your own fuckin ass wipes
