Potty talk: what to do with TP wrapper?

Post by kairyth » Wed Aug 18, 2004 1:29 pm

So you happen to run across a recently-serviced potty (oh, joy!), and you get to be the first one to unwrap the fresh roll of potty paper (double joy!). What do you do with the wrapper?

1. Put it in the pot.

2. Drop it on the floor.

3. Put it in some crevasse inside the potty, i.e. behind the TP dispenser, or tucked inside the cardboard tube of the roll you just took it off of.

4. Put it in your pocket and take it back to camp, and ultimately, dispose of it yourself.

What do you do??

My usual habit was to do #3, but I wonder if later on, some heroic JoTS employee cursed my creativity in securing the wrapper where it 1) wouldn't blow away, and 2) would be easy to remove.

I never had this problem, every time i entered a potty they where already unwrapped. I suppose i would simply take it back with me.

Dropping it in the potty may clog it.

Leaving it on the floor makes a bigger mess and would be horrible to slip on if it happened to get wet.

And tucking it somewhere only causes more cleaning for whomever does he final cleaning of them when we are done using them.

I would simply take it pack with me and toss it in the trash. Its a small piece of papper, no big deal.

Good luck on getting a just cleaned potty!
