In an effort to break away from the more serious discussions of “What Needs to be Changed?” and “Who is a True Catalyst of Change?“ I thought I would share one of my biggest pet peeves. I suppose its more of a source of annoyance than a pet peeve but I really get irritated at the large toilet paper dispensers in public restrooms, especially the ones with four individual rolls in one dispenser. It always seems that if ever I have need to utilize the services of one of these modern inventions, I always seem to get the end of a roll and the beginning of a new one. Inevitably the new roll that I’m depending on to help me in my time of need never seems to be ready to release a few of its squares for utilization. So I’m left to pull and fidget and rip away at the roll until I finally get the end square to make its appearance. That bugs the daylights out of me. Can anyone else relate to my frustration?
What is your most recent pet peeve?
I think I tweeted my recent experience with a public toilet that kept flushing as I was sitting there… that is a major annoyance.
I guess to go along with what you wrote Shannon would be that same toilet paper holder, that has 3-5 roll sin it for the express purpose of never running out, having none in it! How can an employee not notice that it is running out and not refill it!!!!
Yes, what you describe is a constant source of annoyance for me as well. I think it should be brought before congress under the new administration that is about to take office in D.C. to see if any changes can be made to make those pesky multi-toilet paper dispensers abolished for good!
Of course, I think the problem is probably more the cheap quality toilet paper they put in those things rather than the actual dispenser itself-probably a combo of both though.
How are your fingernails these days?
