raze "if people buy bad stuff in the supermarket, i tell them. i saw one guy buying cheap toilet paper. i said, 'what are you doing? that's four rolls for eighty-nine cents. that can't be good. don't you like yourself?' i understand the need to find a bargain. but toilet paper? you buy good toilet paper. i've been really broke. i always got good toilet paper. it's a line you don't cross. it tells you everything will be all right. 'the bills are late, but i got good toilet paper.' we have so many blessings we don't count."

tender_square i was sort of surprised her bathroom was supplied with a wisp of one-ply when she makes good money. but i guess it was comforting in a way, like i was staying in a hotel when she gave me her guest bedroom for the evening. there were no perforations on the roll for symmetrical tearing, even. it unraveled like a tightly wound scroll ready for smears of excreta to be written upon it, its pulp disintegrating as soon as it hit the water. 230215

epitome of incomprehensibility The super-thin kind in malls annoys me. Not that it's scratchy - nor does my butt demand absolute softness - but the thinness renders it inefficient. Bunching it up is a must, so it's not like you're really using less. 230215
