I'm very worried about something.

[LuckyCharms]

I just realized, that gradually over the past two or three months, I've somehow lost the ability to snap some toilet paper off the roll on the wall-mounted paper holder without un-spooling 3/4 of the entire roll onto the floor.

Then, I have to try to wind that mess back on the roll evenly. It takes me about a minute, and I can't get it on there evenly. Then, on the next pull of toilet paper, the same thing happens again, and I have to wind it back up again.

And again.

And again.

It's like an angry cat has fucked with the toilet paper and unrolled it every time I tear off a few sheets.

1. It can be tough for a pro athlete to admit they no longer have the skill they once had...

and that it is time to just rewind the paper.

2. Switch brands and do hand exercises. Focus.

3. This is a common test that doctors use to gauge the impact of aging on citizens.

If you're able to snap off less than 5 sheets of toilet paper w/ the snap of your wrist, then perhaps you need to perhaps visit the doctor, have your wrists examined.

If you're able to snap off more than 5 sheets w/ the snap of your wrist, you're still doing fine!

And I'm just joking w/ you here too. Had to kind of make a joke here...

Seriously it could be that the imprinted divider between individual sheets of TP is getting less in TP as manufacturers look for ways to cut costs...I wouldn't be surprised one bit.

4. Perforations don't seem as effective lately

It takes more force to tear away the plies I want, and if I don’t hold the ply closest to where I want it to tear, the roll will spin like a whirling dervish. The stuff I encounter in public restrooms, however, has the opposite problem. Those humongous rolls housed inside TP fortresses are my nemesis. I often have to reach inside to find the free end, and it always breaks off up inside before I get the amount I want, so I have to reach in and rotate again fo find the end of the roll.

6. Gotta Roll With LuckyCharms

Now it might be a stretch
Butt two hands helps
Unroll that spool

And you'll
Still be cool
Till the end-O'spool

8. Get a cat. That way it won't be your fault.

9. It's not your fault, Lucky.

For many years now the toilet paper manufacturers have been making the perforations weaker and weaker, so that when you try to tear off a hunk, you get any number of extras following along behind that you didn’t want but can’t exactly put back. It called “planned obsolescence” and it’s how the toilet paper companies get you to buy more and more of their product. I read this in Mad magazine many years ago, so my source is credible.

10. Have you tried using your teeth?

Just a suggestion.

[LuckyCharms]

13. Good idea!!

11. Have you ever tried the cheaper one ply paper?

Much easier to rip and it dissolves rapidly which benefits the septic tank.

12. you want I should kick your TP-fubar'ing ass, LuckyCharms?

LEMME AT YOU
