Explain, please

I want to know: why would someone cover a toilet seat with toilet paper, and then walk off and LEAVE the toilet paper there?

I mean, I understand why they'd put down the toilet paper, although there were perfectly good disposable seat covers available. But why, having presumably used the facility, would that person leave the toilet paper in place?

I mean, what were they thinking? Did they think that the next person to use that toilet would be delighted by an unexpected gift?

It would have taken less than half a second to sweep that paper into the toilet where it belonged. But they didn't bother.

I swear...sometimes I just don't understand people.

Men are always saying how lucky we are. Womens toilets smell nicer and tend to be less shitty. However, men don't have to face the horror of used tampons in the toilet because someone can't be bothered to flush, or wrap it properly like it should be.

Maybe this is another cross-cultural thing. Here in the US it's woman who are complaining about the bathrooms all the time: specifically, about the lines to get in. It seems that women take more time in the bathroom, while men are generally in and out fairly quickly.

Good heavens, a double entendre.

I used to think that men's rooms (is that punctuated correctly?) were more disgusting than women's rooms...but now I'm not so sure. True, women's rooms are often kept cleaner, and have flowers in them; men's rooms decorations are usually just crude scrawls of genitalia, phone numbers of local prostitutes, and bad comic poetry. But I've heard enough from Teri to know that there are disgusting pigs on both sides of the gender line. Shit-covered loos (to use a Briticism) seem to be a universal plague of the human race.

On the other hand, I'll admit that men are considerably more careless with their urine. Although most of the (admittedly geeky) men I know eschew urinals if at all possible, and prefer to have a seat and relax with a book or newspaper.

But then, my friends are all civilized.

Well, considering that I saw the same thing at work today maybe this was National Leave A Toilet Seat Covered With TP Day? Or a celebration of an obscure saint? Or...a signal to members of the Illuminati that a big change is coming!!!

Umm, okay, I get goofy.

The ironic thing is that that particular toilet is often toilet-paper-less; don't even get me started on that subject.

You really don't want to know.

I recall seeing something about toilets in Japan not necessarily having toilet paper standard; little packs of TP are handed out on the street as an advertising thing. Which is kinda wacky, actually.
