As seen in the bathroom…
Steve from Sans Brains can appreciate this. He recently made two blog posts about finding a newspaper in the bathroom, and finding a third “emergency” roll of toilet paper in there as well. Well, today I made a trip to the local restroom here on the fifth floor, and lo and behold, what did I find? A wrinkled newspaper AND the third roll, which had apparently been used.
The mystery and intrigue of these products is quite simple. If you find a newspaper in the loo, do you read it or leave it be? You don’t know who has touched it, after all. With the third roll of TP, it tries to come off as the “emergency roll”. Personally, I thought that is what the 2nd roll is for. Go to Sans Brains to read the full write-up.
I just thought I found both in the same trip!

I think the newspaper of the floor answer depends on your fiber content. If you’re gonna be a while, pick it up and take your mind off things. Otherwise, play sanitary and leave it be.

Gross, I would never touch some man’s “used” paper. Uggh!

Yeah, normally I don’t. You really just don’t know the contamination level.

I’ve never done but having had serious stomach issues I’ve considered it. The good news is that there’s usually plenty of reading material written on the walls.

Look…after spending the majority of the last 15 years on construction sites, the one thing you learn is to not use any facilities outside of the home.
Being able to this has made me rethink the evolution/creationism theory. I believe that this is now a part of my DNA since my 8 yo son has developed the same super powers.

Hahaha. That’s awesome man.
I don’t even want to go into the bathroom at my work today. I’m sure there will be 6 roll and a whole newspaper in there.

Maybe you could take all of the extra rolls home and stock up your supply.

I think they might frown on that. Especially since I work for law enforcement. Heh.

Good call. Pay a friend to do it.
