Three Story Life - Toilet Paper Follies

My little brother uses excessive wads of toilet paper. He has started using toilet paper when he pees, too. I called a plumber 3 times in 6 weeks. Twice I was able to have the nice guys come over. Cheery as well as efficient. The 3rd time I got the crank.

A Lecture Isn't What I Need from a Plumber

You're using too much toilet paper. <duh>
Don't you have an auger? <show auger>
That's not an auger. <why does it say auger on the tag, then, hm?>
You need this size auger. <hefts his auger>
<Ooo that's a big one. Here's your check. Bye.>

1. Hide the Toilet Paper

This worked for the first handful of times. Scott has Alzheimer's disease, but he still can see. He knows where the toilet paper is hidden.

2. Hide the Toilet Paper Higher

Scott is short, so I thought I could put it on the top shelf in the back. Nope. So I hid it better.

3. Hide the 12-Pack

Unable to find the new hiding spot, he opened the new 12-roll package on the floor and used that.

4. Hide the Toilet Paper in Different Places

I figured out that the sound of his belt buckle dragging on the floor means the search for where the toilet paper is hidden is underway. With his drawers dragging, and a bum not in safe travel mode yet.

5. Hide the Toilet Paper in the Same Place. Listen for the Belt Buckle

This only works if I'm paying strict attention from the Artist's Dungeon directly below the bathroom. This method also requires that I remember where I hid the toilet paper the last time.

6. Tell the Carers Where The Toilet Paper Is

If I don't remember to reveal the location, there's a text message to be sent. If I don't remember that, I get a text. Where's the TP?
