What's the deal with this guy in the bathroom? (Public Bathroom Etiquette)

[why]



For example, when they take out the half roll, do they just replace the half roll with a new one, or are they taking that second, never used roll and putting in the place of the half roll and adding a new second roll.

I've read this sentence twenty times and it still makes no sense.

It does. He is wondering if the second roll is a permanent fixture while the first is constantly replaced, or whether there is some rotation system.

i, for one, really hope for a rotation system. God forbid some yetti destroys the throne and uses all of the first roll only to leave poor pB here with the 39 month old relic of a roll with its mold and bacteria and stank.

Oh, there are two rolls. Missed that.

I will be entering the bathroom with a sharpie in about 10 minutes. I might need a toolkit though.

success?

Ok, so I came to a harsh realization. Below is a picture of this thing:

Note the verbiage:

And:

It is kind of a trick GMAT question really. Since you have to load the roll on the right first you can conclude that the roll on the left that constantly gets replaced is not being rotated. For good measure I decided to go through with the plan though, but it proved very difficult. This thing doesn't actually come apart at all, it is designed to be sealed so I guess it is shielded from splatter and such. Everything has to be done from the bottom access. To make this more convenient for the custodian it slides off the wall very easily so you can flip it like so.

I had to pull out the one roll in order to slide the divider over to access the larger roll to mark it.

The larger roll is so damn tight in there I couldn't pull it out, another reason to believe this roll is there to stay forever. You can see where I stuck the sharpie in there and made a mark. Yes, that is blood where I cut myself from trying to yank the ****** out.

The other side marked for good measure:

You can clearly see one of the marks through the translucent plastic.

And to cap the old times...

Do you bite your fingernails?

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Bite my fingernails would be an understatement.

This is a must follow.

Listen. I'm being honest here. pB, if you had a Travel Channel show where you toured the world's bathrooms, I'd watch it.

 

[patrickBOOTH]

I would actually love to do that. I am sure it would be fairly interesting. Too bad, I'm not.
