TPR - who does this?

TPR = toilet paper related. Wink Chika's post reminded me, I have a question for you all...

I was recently reading an article in a magazine about handy tips for the home. One of them was to smoosh the roll of TP a bit so that it has a kink in one side and doesn't spin on the TP holder. Apparently this stops pets and kids from spinning it around and encourages people to use less TP. My first thought was, "Really???" I hate it when TP gets a kink in it and you have to thunka-thunka it around the holder! I like giving it a good flick of the wrist to get the TP spinning off quickly (you know you've done it really well when the TP loops back up backwards onto the roll).

Am I alone in this? Does everyone else kink their TP roll? 

Re: TPR - who does this?

  • No kinky toilet paper is getting near my bum, thankyouverymuch Embarrassed
  • I hate when the TP rolls have a kink...esp in public restrooms.  Doesn't make me use less, just takes forever Super Angry

  • I'm always annoyed when it gets bent! 

    however, I never put the roll in the holder in our master bath - so it wouldn't bother me!  (haha, in my defense the holder is about 1 ft. off the ground and on the back wall (like by the tank) so you have to totally lean down and twist to get to it - I have thought of moving it, but never get around to it, so the roll just sits on the edge of the tub).

  • Hehe, I never heard of intentionally kinking the TP! Like you, I hate it when it accidentally gets a kink and it thunks around (like after a move and theTP rolls get squished in the boxes but you still gotta use them instead of waste them)

    Same here - I would never do this on purpose.

  • wha??? i would never do that!! i hate it when that happens!
  • Is it bad that I saw that you posted it, and I thought automatically TPR must mean Toilet Paper Related????

     

    I agree - I like when it's a smooth roll, but I don't have any pets, and I don't have the kid experience yet, but I might just have to lock up the TP if it comes to that.

    Me too!  Haha...  I wouldn't intentionally kink it either but I don't think it's a bad idea...
