      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.

        Just absolutely demolish the toilet every time you use it.

        Make them suck out that half-a-ply-ass-TP with oil rig equipment.

        Gotta do the star fold with the thin stuff, get the grain aligned like plywood to keep it from splitting.

          You mean like some sort of asshole origami? Assigami?

          I don’t think I’ve ever wiped my ass with a star. Other than that weird weekend with Ryan Seacrest, of course.

      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.

          I’m mostly at home, but the stuff at my work is what you’d put in boxes with gifts for holidays lawl

      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.
