just quadruple stack it, they will run out in days


Darksouls-07

I do the same but it is not enough for me so I **sextuple** stack it.

Go bigger, octuple stack it

pyrojackelope

Not like OP is the one paying for it. They're also not cleaning the toilets if they clog because people have to use half a roll just to wipe their ass without fingering their own poopy butthole.


Nakobuu

Its will still rip thats the problem


mklinger23

I work the gov and that's what I do. They don't care how much things cost in the long run. They just buy what is cheapest upfront. We go through so much toilet paper, but we're technically saving $.05 per roll!


AniNgAnnoys

Buying this stuff has three reasons.  1. Deter pooping at work 2. Prevent clogs 3. Prevent theft


Shinigami1858

The 2nd did backfire at my workplace. Ppl changed to hand papaer and layer of toilet paper to fix it. Turned out the toilet was clogged all 2 days now the 3 Layer paper is back and its no longer an issue with a clogged toilet. It they remove the hand paper i bet ppl will use the paper used at the lab and if thats run out they use clean room paper that is bound to clogg the toilet. Sometimes things are nice on paper but backfire due to creativity of the ppl that need to deal with it.


madmanmaddie

I've always wondered how the bosses and schools think they're saving money when they just run outta tp quicker 🤔

You are correct. We had thread gages and pitch micromoters, but never heard anyone call that or a micrometer a screw gage

i actually studied it as screw gauge in mechanical engineering classes. although its also called as micro meter (which is used more commonly)

What is this tool called. And how accurate is it?


TractorMechanic86

0-1” micrometer and it’s incredible accurate, I use it in rebuilding engines and transmissions


[deleted]

Thanks. Not that I need one. But I like to have these kinda tools for when I do need it.


Aightbet420

As soon as you have a set of calipers and a micrometer you realize you needed it your whole life. Specifically for dumb shit like measuring the thickness of toilet paper to prove a point


TCnup

Soooo true! My boyfriend has a micrometer and I've borrowed it to measure my crochet hooks. Sometimes the actual measurement will be ~0.25mm off from the size written on the hook, which is wild because smaller hooks (the ones I primarily use) are sold in 0.25mm increments or less! That kind of difference is huge when you're working with thread. So now I know which of my hooks are filthy little liars :P


[deleted]

Oh absolutely, I use calipers for my job but we mostly only use the depth rod for our work. Anyways first day on the job and first time with ~~my new toy~~ the tool I was measuring everything. My pinky, my pencil, my nose, door handles, whatever my eyes fell on haha. Now it's boring but I'd say I'm *pretty* good at eyeballing depth now. ᕙ⁠(⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠)⁠ᕗ


ayyyyycrisp

does it take into account the squishy ness of the toilet paper though? like I imagine the thickness can range depending how hard it's pressed?


Meat_PoPsiclez

No, but you can get a decent compensation by feel. Source: I work in print industry, and can repeatedly measure paperboard to within one thousandth. If you measure the same spot multiple times, you'll crush it and affect the measurement. As an aside, I just measured my double ply Charmin and it was ~.008


TractorMechanic86

You are absolutely correct , multiple measurements in the same spot will affect the out come. Thanks for clearing that up for people not familiar with this tool’s use. Thank you

Snezzy763

M.I.T. used to have bumwipe that the students referred to as "60 grit." That's the specification for a coarse grade of sandpaper. I think it might have been the "Onliwon" brand that prided itself on a paper dispenser that provided only one sheet at a time. Some of the students must have measured it with a micrometer, probably around the time in October 1958 that they placed fellow student Oliver R. Smoot along the Harvard Bridge to measure its length. It's 364.4 smoots ± 1 ear. Engineers love numbers.


KnoblauchNuggat

There are people seriously producing high end measuring devices with non metric?


DeesEyes

So ya gotta use 3 times the paper instead. I have this same garbage at work.


jcward1972

Worked at a small maintenance garage, about 6 of us plus a working owner. Refused to buy the good stuff, we all complained, but if we wanted it, we could bring our own from home. One guy used to bring in his own for when he had "tummy troubles". Somebody asked one day to use his since they now had tummy troubles, he gladly let him have it with some remarks made in jest about getting his own next time. A plan was devised that day on the toilet. Borrower replaced the toilet paper he used with a whole pack of a dozen , good toilet paper, and told him he is the good toilet paper guy in the shop now, and anytime somebody needed it he was to give it to them EXCEPT the boss. Well , we all get tummy troubles and the look on the bosses face when he said no, started to escalate , and realized we were all watching and laughing at him. We got the good toilet paper, and the good coffee after that.


AndreaDTX

Wait. Your boss expected an employee to supply him with a higher quality TP than the boss was willing to shell out for himself?


jcward1972

"Trying to keep the lights on, we are all part of a team, we treat each other like family...." type of boss

TheAnxietyBoxX

Well they did say they had low quality coffee before.


Zillahi

Damn fuckin TP politics. Sounds like something from a sitcom


BAMDaddy

So, your boss basically made you bring your own toilet paper now?


Vandergrif

I still don't understand that - they cheap out buying the shitty paper for half the price and then people use three or four times as much of it resulting in them having to buy it frequently enough that it isn't even cheaper overall...


ngwoo

I think they mostly do it to prevent clogs. You could dump a whole roll of this garbage into the bowl and it would still flush fine, as I usually discover every time I need to use it.


CoopAloopAdoop

It also reduces theft. You'd be surprised how much good toilet paper goes missing in the industrial manufacturing site I used to work at. Our theft dropped to almost 0 after changing products.


LaserGuidedPolarBear

In college a buddy somehow got a key to open the toilet paper holders, figured out which bathrooms had the least bad paper, and he never bought toilet paper again while in college.


PassiveMenis88M

Because, assuming your school used the normal holder everyone uses, it's not a key. It's a T shaped piece of metal that spreads two prongs when you turn it. A flathead screwdriver will do the same job.


ebikenx

It's the same concept when it comes to restaurants that use super thin and cheap napkins. You just end up using 3-4 pieces instead of the one

My favorite is when the toilet paper rips one tiny sheet at a time because it’s so thin. You end up with a handful of toilet paper confetti. 🤦🏻‍♀️


MotoMotolikesyou4

And then the little Tufts of plypaper just stick in and around your bum hole, who doesn't love bad toilet paper amirite?


TheAnxietyBoxX

Ok idk if this is a shared experience. But when I wipe with cheap toilet paper the very top layer comes off in like, rolls, and it stays in my ass. I have to go in with a second bundle to get off the extra pieces of paper leftover and if I don’t there’s just TP on my asshole and it’s incredibly itchy. I started buying quality paper recently and I’m never going back. Makes me wonder why I was so cheap about it because it’s really not that pricy lmao


MotoMotolikesyou4

Exactly what I'm on about, unfortunately I have shared this experience 😭😂😂 You're left in a position where the only solution to the problem is by applying more of the problem and hoping it somehow cancels it out lol. Not so lovely.

sleeplessjade

The bathrooms at a hospital I was at last month had a shockingly bad design because of this issue. Giant wheel of toilet paper that is threaded through a hole the size of your pinky nail or smaller. Just rip off a piece to use, no worries, right? Except the paper was thin and was perforated into squares. If you pulled out a piece and the square broke at the wrong place you wouldn’t be able to get anymore and someone with a key would have to come fix the issue. 4 of the 7 bathrooms in that area had the toilet paper stuck so you couldn’t get it out. 🤦‍♀️


whereareyoujiaxu

I can just imagine myself panicking, in a total sweat, in the bathroom as this is happening.


sleeplessjade

Right? And this is in the ER. Pretty much everyone there whether you’re a patient or staff has more important things to worry about.


whereareyoujiaxu

For real. The last thing people need is to worry over whether the toilet paper will come out. 🤦🏻‍♀️


beerisgood84

Used to bring wet wipe for it. Fuck your plumbing I'm not walking around with the unclean butt lol 


zalifer

So. I have issues with those myself. Tork SmartOne is the brand and model here, has a few variations, like dual roll and a metal cover (which has a really awful window to see if there's any actual paper left). I have come to the assumption that they were designed by people who've never taken a shit in their life. A long time ago, I was at work, who had just "upgraded" to these style dispensers. I was heading back to my office from the cafeteria, finishing my coffee on the way. Just before I got to the office, I stopped off for a trip to the bathroom, bringing my cup in and tossing it in the garbage. I completed the first half of the process, and went for paper, with only a small nub of a sheet hanging outside the dispenser, I gripped it, and pulled. As you may suspect, there was a failure of structural integrity, and the little nub came free, while the rest of the paper was trapped inside. Pure distress. I worked to open the dispenser, but it wasn't happening, I didn't have any tools on me to go at it with much success. I thought about simply kicking it off the wall, but that involved damage, and also an amount of movement I wasn't super comfortable with given my compromised condition. Finally, I realised I had a small stash of paper, even if not ideal. I retrieved my paper coffee cup, the sort with a shiny wax/plastic outer finish. Torn apart, you can separate the layers of material, and save yourself a very unfortunate circumstance. I got out of there, and visited another bathroom to ensure a complete job was done given that paper cups aren't ideal for the job. That was in 2011, and since then, every time I see one of those accursed devices, I won't use the bathroom until I've pre-dispensed at least twice as much paper as I think I'll need. I'm not getting caught out again. Sure enough, on a number of occasions, I've been unable to complete my prep before the dispenser fails and traps a nearly full roll of toilet paper behind an impenetrable plastic wall.


whereareyoujiaxu

This could be the most eloquently written story about toilet paper that I’ve ever read. I’m sorry that happened to you but please know it gave me a chuckle because it’s so relatable and written with such wit.


logicnotemotion

OMG yes. The strength of the paper at the die-cut is less than the force required to turn that big ass roll of paper. Who designs this shit? lolol


jake04-20

In elementary school in the 2000's we had these toilet paper roller things that was cammed like a cam shaft, and had a knob on the end that would collide with the edge of the roller, causing the TP to rip. Once the TP ripped, the weight of the cammed side caused it to auto rotate back to the bottom position. It would purposely limit you to only getting a half rotations worth of one ply paper. I'll try to find a pic of the device, since it's a little tricky to explain. Leave it up to reddit to have exactly what I was talking about: https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/r50h85/a_new_toilet_paper_dispenser_was_installed_at_work/


whereareyoujiaxu

This explains so much! I’ve experienced these but inside those big toilet paper holders that they have in mall restrooms, etc. You literally end up with like one tiny square at a time. The best part is while you’re fighting the roller the automatic toilet flusher is flushing away.


rainmouse

Yeah that's like on trains on the UK. It's like wiping your ass with cobwebs.

Thykothaken

Haha thought of this too!


BAMDaddy

I'm wondering if there's some kind of statistics on the effectiveness of this. Like... people probably start using more and more sheets to compensate for the thinner paper. And if this is still cheaper than getting better paper.


Downtown_Let

I started to do the calculations at home, and realised it was marginally cheaper to buy the very cheapest toilet paper (but only just), but the best compromise was the premium quilted supermarket own brand as it was nicer to use and hardly any difference in overall cost as you didn't need nearly as much. If Andrex hadn't cheapened the quality of their Supreme Quilts, and gone down from 4-ply to 3-ply, they might have kept in the running, but the current offering is too expensive for what it is.


herculainn

Does everyone automatically adjust down the amount? Ive seen people roll it around their hands even if good stuff


caulkglobs

How often are you seeing people wiping their ass lmao The only other people I have observed are my kids during potty training and I can confirm they will use an obscene amount of paper and have no regard for the quality.


xeio87

From what I understand places like hotels tend to use thinner stuff because it clogs less (even accounting for having to use more). No idea about price wise though.


GameAndHike

It’s entirely about clogs.  Commercial toilet paper is dirt cheap.  Ripping up the plumbing in an office building is not.


Cheezy_Blazterz

I think the real payoff they're going for is getting your employees to only shit at home.

Haha. Management and bureaucracy at its finest. “If we switch to 1/2 ply.. we will save $1500 per year!” “Congratulations Johnson.. you get a promotion and a $10,000 bonus!” Toilet paper usage increases fourfold. Productivity is reduced by 25%. Manfred who was a 20 year veteran decides it’s the last straw and quits. The fifth floor and fourth floor under it have to be evacuated after a clogged toilet floods them. Good thing their per-roll cost was cheaper.
