Who invented these toilet roll dispensers? They’re awful. Anything equally bad or worse?

  1. Maybe just equal rather than worse but the towel rollers that used to be in toilets for drying your hands

  2. Pull out a few at a time, although in fairness it is like trying to wipe your arse with a postage stamp.

  3. And the job of restocking it with toilet roll nobody can find the key and it gets stuck every few days

  4. It’s very difficult to line one’s arse up exactly !

  5. Not so much an invention but the idea of making the doors of men’s toilets in bars, pubs or whatever open inwards always baffles me.

    The amount of people who don’t wash their hands after the jacks is mental. They then go and pull the door open with their unwashed hands. So it doesn’t matter if I’ve washed my hands. 

    Make it open outwards so I can open it with my boot.

  6. It was invented by Johnny Mc No-anus back in 1963.

  7. Agree! You need great balance to line your arsehole up with these things.

  8. Ironically the company that makes these infuriating bog roll, bog standard holders decided to call them ‘smart ones’

  9. Taps,

    Why is every tap in ireland too short? Hands keep hitting the back of the basin ffs put the tap at the edge or make the tap longer.

  10. At least it gives you hope. When you can see a few layers on there, you can take comfort in the fact you won’t need any help for a while at least, and have a chance to deal with this yourself.

  11. Those little steel teapots and milk jugs you get in hotels and cafes with the little dent on the rim instead of a spout. I have yet to come across one that hasn’t spilled tea or milk all over the damn table.

  12. I just don’t understand why we haven’t all mass adopted Japanese Bidet Toilets by now…

  13. Life hack

    Hammer the side of your hand into the clear bit – should pop right open

  14. The little sticky bit on the cheapy tin foil is up there.

  15. Having to rent a trolly for 1 euro I have zero intention of stealing a trolly with 1 working wheel or 4 working wheels at that.

  16. They absolutely do my tits in. A few times I’ve had to “open” the casing on them just to get enough Jack’s roll out for a half decent wipe.

  17. One time I was getting far less loo roll than required from one of these so in my fury I kicked it off the wall to release the roll of paper. I felt fully justified in my actions until a few days later and the guilt sank in
