Dan Hiebert Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 ...sort of, more like a road reflector that you zip right on past without noticing. I put the last roll of pandemic toilet paper on the holder this morning ?. In doing so, I realized we hadn't bought TP in over two years. *Sigh*, I'll miss not having TP on the shopping list, but guess who has to make an unplanned trip into town now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 We just went through our stores, we are down to one shelf unit of cleaning supplies and paper goods, and one of food staples. Now about hoarding gas for snow blower, generator and plow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 So now we know who emptied the shelves of TP during the hoarding. I till have a roll or two of Angel Soft from that time frame on my shelf, there is nothing angelic nor soft about it. Only reason I have it is because I would rather use gorilla tape instead of Angel Soft so when I could find Charmin I put the AS on the shelf, for visitors, lol.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldodge41 Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 A co-worker once told me our employer bought "John Wayne toilet paper". I asked what that meant and he said that it is rough as hell and won't take crap off anyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney_Hamon Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 I was an educator several years. I used to rate toilet paper at the different universities and airports. ABQ sunport is not bad and the Providence RI airport not bad either. I guess they take more pride for their customers. Ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Some years ago I was helping out on a big job for work, had to stay at the Hilton for the week. Got a survey from them about my stay there. I mentioned that you can tell a hotel's customer service priorities by the TP they use, in this case it was of the John Wayne variety. When I returned the next week they had Charmin for me, lol. I usually pack my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hiebert Posted December 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Well, this turned into a rabbit hole. So, the worst toilet paper I've ever experienced was in the toilet of the passenger coaches on the Deutch Bundesbahn's troop trains in the early '80s when I was stationed in West Germany. That stuff was universally despised. It was like sandpaper or a super thin sheet of wafer board. It would have been avoidable if we'd only been on the trains for a few hours, but we were usually stuck on them for two or three days. Cleaned you right up, but you'd have a sore heinie for a week afterwards. Even now it makes me squirm just to think about it. Made the C-Rat TP seem like Angel Soft or Charmin in comparison.

Sniper Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Yes, whenever I hear some ad using the term "military grade" I think of the TP we had in the Navy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonstop Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Worst was in October - traveling for work. Had lunch and then hit Starbucks for a coffee after. Well, my body said it was time and there was no stopping it! One toilet open. Seeing as it was off the highway, it got a lot of use and little attention. Sat down and my body was doing its thing when I looked and there was NO toilet paper. I used a stack of seat covers. Those hurt - it was almost like using printer paper, but I was able to make them work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
