I once again encountered the type that has 2 rolls and one roll is atop the other.
(This is hard to describe.)
The rolls are positioned so that I am never sure how the paper is supposed to come off.(which way it rolls)
I was the first to use the roll. I had to dig with finger nails into the roll to get something to grip to peel off some paper. Now roll looks like a mouse nibbled it to get paper.
Who invented this awful way to dispense the paper? Am I the idiot who doesn't know how to use this kind of set up? If so, educate me, please.

I've had the exact same thing happen many times, it always pisses me off. I always send up a secret wish that the man who invented it installed one in his home where his wife and daughters yell at him about it regularly.

Some man, who never has to use toilet paper in a public restroom, invented it for unknown reasons. |

Or the ones where the rolls are side-by-side and the door is supposed to slide over when one roll is empty. But, it doesn’t!

Those are annoying! They never roll correctly......so it's two squares, then a ripped inch, then three squares, then one square, then a ripped inch, etc... takes 8 tries to get enough for a one potty wipe. 27 tries to get enough for a poop wipe.  With the above said....I'd rather have to fight with the toilet paper roll to get the amount necessary......rather than having to use the mega gigantic super sized roll of really thin cheap sandpaper, that some places have. |

I HATE THEM. The top roll is always so heavy, you can't hardly get the TP from the bottom roll.
I also don't understand:
1. why do they put the sanity napkin trash on the opposite side. I have hit my elbow or knee on the metal box (depending on where it is placed within the stall) many times. It makes it SO tight btwn the TP dispenser and the metal box.
2. why do the doors swing INSIDE!? half the time I have to stand sideways (and press myself up against either the napkin trash box OR the TP dispenser) to open the freaking door. Why don't they swing outwards?

Why don't they swing outwards? I would rather the door swing inward. Sometimes they don’t lock properly, and if someone tries to open the door, I can stop them. Or, if they swing outwards, you could potentially hit someone walking by the door. |

Those tp dispensers are difficult for sure. I think you use the bottom one first as I once used the last of the paper on a bottom roll and quickly the top one dropped down. Scared me to death.

I hate how some places have the dispensers so low that you can't even look to see where you are supposed to be pulling and have to twist your arm unnaturally. WHY?

This thread reminded me of a photo a friend sent me one time of a bathroom stall of a downtown bar in our city. Guess you drip on the floor while you try to get your paper.  |

A man, of course! On the average they use toilet paper 50% less times than a female.  |
