Dude, you're so fricking awesome. I spent most of this video cackling like an insane hen at the hilarious fury you put into this informational rant. Kudos for hitting the John Wayne toilet paper line in the first 30 seconds or so of the video. I knew it would be there, just didn't know how quickly. And it's a truism, not a joke. A friend of mine who was in your situation here told his wife that if she bought single ply toilet paper ever again he was going to install a bidet in the bathroom that used a high force pressure washer as the 'gentle cleaning' apparatus. Bonus point was that he used the single ply paper to TP his father-in-law's house as a birthday prank. In return his father-in-law gave him a glitter bomb for Christmas that year. A day or so after cleanup was finally completed both guys found these pranks to be funny. Their wives, not so much. Both of their wives enforced a "there will be no more of this going on" law with threats of castration. Since both women were surgical nurses and therefore had skills with scalpels, peace quickly followed. Additional benefit: she never bought single ply TP again.

I used to be an auditor at a couple of Big 4 audit firms. One of the little tricks they taught us was to watch out for the penny pinching. If a company is trying to save money by cutting the toilet paper, free coffee or rationing the pens then they’re in trouble. If they’re that worried by minuscule savings, then they really need the money. I’m now senior management at a multibillion multinational and I make sure we don’t play silly buggers with meaningless savings like that. Anyone with time to worry about toilet paper savings isn’t cost effective.

[@blazeesq2000]

@cassandragarris853 Does your firm do the Six-sigma thing where they still ask every employee to submit a cost-savings idea each month? Or was that some early 2000' stuff where 6-sigma and Konban got confused together? In my experience, project managers (PM's)or management get stuck on the project management methodology of the day and get myopic about each of those styles. If one person learns one, it becomes the metaphorical hammer, and everything starts to look like a nail. Each PM style has its one merits and habits. Each method has its own merits depending on the project to be developed. Is there a belief that middle managers can only learn one? That we can only disseminate one style to lower level managers and employees? Why do organizations have an adherence to just one?

In my experience, availability of middle management it a bid indicator. When companies are in trouble, the first thing they do is have lots of meetings trying to figure out why they are in trouble. So, middle management is constantly tied up in meetings about profit margins, cash flow, and overhead. As a result, they are unavailable to address problems that affect cash flow and overhead.

My dad was a facilities manager for the 45+ years he worked. He worked for sites that had over 600 people. One of his duties was to buy paper goods kleenex, toilet paper, etc. He is an industrial engineer by trade. So when vendors like Tork would come with their giant rolls of tp he realized those rolls are and inch narrower than a normal roll. He also told my mom an I "that crap was 1 step up from a pail of corn cobs. How is it cheaper if employees have to use more?" Aparently the 1 ply toilet paper industry is supper pushy and act like their products will save thousands of dolars. Since my dad knew this was all BS he purchased good 2 ply toilet paper. He said over a few years they had to buy less because employees used less of the better toilet paper. So when the Fat Electrician tells you to not buy 1 ply just listen😅

I wouldn't have believed someone if they told me at some point in my life I would almost be in tears from laughing at a guy going off about toilet paper. I now know you could talk about anything and hold my attention! Everything you said was so spot on, just never heard anyone speak publicly about what we are all thinking. You decide to run for office, you have my vote Sir!

[@thomasmcmullen02]

As a utility worker that uses almost exclusively public restrooms other than like the 1 time per day when I’m at home and I get to poop in my own toilet, you’ve got my vote. As a dad who loves to save money and yell at people for touching the thermostat, I will absolutely not save money on toilet paper. I need a the good stuff. I’ll be buying one of those shirts, good sir.

[@bandgeekforlife406]

Then there's that stuff they have in public school bathrooms which is more akin to cheap napkins than toilet paper. I avoided bathrooms at school whenever possible for multiple reasons, and that was definitely one of them.

[@garyhumphrey8936]

The struggle is real. When I was at Ft. McCoy we had six toilets with no stalls to divide them. So you had to stare across at your buddy and there never seemed to be more than one roll of paper between the six toilets. It was a experience to say the least.

[@rmartinson19]

Single ply is also standard in prisons. Plus they ration it pretty hard in there. You only get a set amount (four rolls per month), and if you go over that amount, you have three options: buy more (at inflated prices) from the commissary, borrow some from another inmate, or get real comfortable with your bare hand. The kicker was that even if you managed to scrimp and save your TP so you had a nice surplus so you didn't have to worry, the guards would come and take it all away form you. Happened to me like three times. I rationed my TP so hard that after months and months I'd built up a small pyramid of extra rolls stacked against the wall by the toilet. It was a thing of beauty, looking at it and knowing that I could go hog wild and use as much TP as I wanted for the next two or three months. Then some asshole CO would come in and say "that's too much toilet paper" and steal the entire stack. Just about made me cry from pure frustration.

Back in 1971, my Dad got a gig teaching at the University of Genova. In the 70’s, wiping with Italian toilet paper was like wiping with a layer of plywood. My baby sister and i were afraid to poop. Fortunately Dad was in the Navy reserve, and there was a fleet tug homeported in the harbor. Dad arranged for us to visit the tug, have an American meal, and scored us some TP.

Northern Issue, in 1935, began to advertise toilet paper that was ‘splinter free’. Up until this point, it was common to have splinters in toilet roll, due to the production techniques used. St. Andrew’s Paper Mill, in the UK, launched 2-ply paper in 1942.

My grandma (B. 1924) was raised in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, she used to say how they'd use pages from Sears catalogs ball em up and flatten em out a few times to soften em and that was there T.P.

[@adamberndt4190]

When My grandfather came home from world war II He married her and brought her to 'the big city' Milwaukee, That was the first time she had ever seen indoor plumbing mind you this was 1945! When she got to the city she wrote her mother and one of the first things she brought up was how everyone had toilets inside the house! She said they used to tie a rope from their front porch to the outhouse So they could grab the rope and follow it to the outhouse due to the fact back in the '30s there was absolutely no ambient light in the North woods of Wisconsin, hell! There's not much ambient light at night up there nowadays! My great grandfather, her dad had a special outhouse shotgun that stayed in the outhouse, just in case!

As a former 19E Vet, Armor for the uneducated, in our latrines, we had toilet paper dispensers the issued one 4x5 sheet of single ply toilet paper at a time. By the time you were done, you had smeared shit clear up you back. In the field in your C Ration box, you got a packet with a few sheets, which was OK because you were so constipated you didn't shit for days anyway. Somewhere on the internet should be instructions on how to use it.
