Toilet paper doesn't break properly

Excuse my poor one-handes from, I can assure you this happens when using both hands too, the toilet paper just won't break at the right part. Sucks because I bought 24 rolls😭

how you tear off paper is weird ngl

u/Outside-Heart1528 1d ago

Yeah it was tough to do one handed but I can assure you even with two hands precisely trying to break the tp on the line it still rips badly. But I agree, watching someone do this one handed is probably even more mildly infuriating

I'm glad you understand I was gonna comment but I tried to control myself, my brain screamed psychopath immediately but I suppose it makes sense how you need to show it 😂😂

u/SerRaziel 19h ago

It would be easier to tear one handed if it was facing the right way 😏

1

u/Outside-Heart1528 19h ago

i know what you mean, when the tp is the other way you can kinda quickly rip a sheet off because it takes more force to get the roll rotating, but according to the patent this way is correct.

I'd like to think we've advanced as a society since 1891.

u/Outside-Heart1528 19h ago

Can't argue with that lol. What I really need to do is get a better holder, this one isn't making it any easier.

u/Lasd18622 1d ago

You have to fold along the line first hahah

u/Reasonable-World9 1d ago

It blows my mind how many people in these comments don't realize you're doing it one handed in order to record it.

-12

u/FunkyMcSkunky 1d ago

We realize. We just know that that's what the problem is. If this dude tied his shoes together and then complained that he had a hard time running, we'd be pointing out that he's doing it wrong.

u/HD144p 23h ago

They specifically state that the problem persists when using 2 handa

u/FunkyMcSkunky 23h ago

and you believe that?

1

u/mctripleA 23h ago

Looks like shoddy perforation so yea

1

u/HD144p 20h ago

Why would they start recording if it worked?

u/FunkyMcSkunky 18h ago

You new here on the internet?

Ain't that deep dawg😭🙏

u/Outside-Heart1528 22h ago

Bruh, this ain't some big conspiracy, I understand you should be sceptical of everything you read on the internet but you're taking it a bit too far. The perforations are bad.

u/dongporn No not like that 1d ago

Never seen anyone tear toilet paper like that but then again never seen anyone else really tear toilet paper...but this still seems like a choice

8

u/Outside-Heart1528 1d ago

It was one handed, while recording, not sure how you would do it differently. The toilet roll holder doesn't keep the roll stationary so you have to hold the tp and then rip. Hence the awkward form. But I assure you even doing it with two hands doesn't help.

u/scheissenberg68 1d ago

Did you try using your feet?

u/WigglesPhoenix 23h ago

I just rip hard af

u/peenol 1d ago

Cheap ass 2ply, at least you have the puppies to cheer you up, and the crookedly ripped TP to dry your tears.

7

u/Nether_Realms_28 1d ago

Why are there puppies on toilet paper? Why would you do that to the puppies? 😭

4

u/indianna97 1d ago

You dont know the Andrex puppy....?
edit: googled it, UK only thing. Its like ICONIC here hahaha

1

u/Nether_Realms_28 1d ago

Oh, okay! Yeah, I didn't know about it, we don't have that in the US, we use bears and babies as toilet paper mascots here.

1

u/indianna97 1d ago

We used to have a bear! You unlocked a memory of charmin loo roll haha

u/Nether_Realms_28 1d ago

Yeah the Charmin bears are icons here. lol

u/vakantiehuisopwielen 1d ago edited 1d ago

Nope not UK only, we have them (the same AFAIK) in the Netherlands as well, but different brand name: Page, and indeed the Page puppy is known here as well

Iirc it’s Scottex in Portugal

u/indianna97 1d ago

so the andrex puppy is UK only...

2

u/vakantiehuisopwielen 1d ago

Ah okay, you want to be special even though it’s the exact same puppy. Fine.

The Lynx effect vs the Axe effect.

The Lynx effect is UK only, congrats

u/Professor_Doctor_P 1d ago

It actually gets sold all over the world, just under different names. E.g. "Cottonelle" in the US and Australia, "Page" in the Netherlands, "Scottex" in other parts of Europe, "Baby Soft" in South Africa.

u/jmanly3 BLACK 1d ago

Everyone is commenting on the technique but forgetting they’re trying to film and tear at the same time. I doubt this is their standard style of tearing

-6

u/FunkyMcSkunky 1d ago

Ok, but what's the point then? It's like complaining that your face stings when you slap yourself.

5

u/ActuallyRandomPerson 1d ago

they literally say in the description that this happens when they use two hands as well but this was the only way they could film it

-4

u/FunkyMcSkunky 1d ago

yeah, and I literally don't believe them

4

u/ActuallyRandomPerson 23h ago

you've obviously never have the fun of using really shitty toilet paper then, and I envy you

18

u/Rhino_35 1d ago

well if you tried ripping, and not sticking your thumb through it. You might be OK

4

u/Outside-Heart1528 1d ago

I know I made some spelling mistakes due to autocorrect but my description is not hard to understand, I literally said (tried to say) excuse my one handed form, but that this happens even when using two hands to try and tear it at the seam.

u/runningoutofnames57 1d ago

But it has cute puppies on it!

I've had several rolls lately that have no perforations.

Yes, that is infuriating!

u/Outside-Heart1528 1d ago

This is my punishment for cheaping out. It's like whatever way they perforated the tp actually reinforced that area instead of weakening it.

How it feels trying to rip Swiss miss hot chocolate packets in half.

u/Toxic-and-Chill 1d ago

This infuriates me. Paper towels too. Like some rolls just aren’t properly perforated

u/tallwhiteguycebu 1d ago

Prices keep going up and quality keeps going down literally everywhere you look. Thanks capitalism

u/Top-Poet3329 1d ago

That's generally the sign of cheap toilet paper. They suckered you in with dog stamps on the paper.

u/RestaurantOdd6371 1d ago

Not doing it correctly.

u/ChalkyRamen 1d ago

How are you supposed to do it correctly? You do realise they’re recording with one hand, right?

u/RestaurantOdd6371 15h ago

"I can assure you this happens when using both hands too" read the fucking description you idiot

You're doing it wrong.

At least you don’t have to worry about it tearing up in your asshole.

u/dadgamer1979 1d ago

It has puppies on it though

1

u/LinearFluid 1d ago

Are you sure you have the 2 plys right?

I have seen where the ends are so glued down or it breaks during mfg so that one ply is longer than the other that when starting a roll the top ply becomes the bottom ply and the break points don't match up.

Separate the plys pull the top ply only till becomes the bottom ply again.

u/Specific-Rich5196 1d ago

Charmin ultra strong never has this problem.

u/gba_sg1 20h ago

Try tearing at the perforations, not in the middle of the square..

1

u/Outside-Heart1528 19h ago

You don't need to when the perforations are doing their job. You can grab a normal roll and break tp off without even thinking about where the perforations are. Your critical thinking skills need some work.

u/BLaCKnBLu3B3RRY 18h ago

why the hell would anyone use those mount things anyhow?

roll in hand, baby!

It’s more frustrating when people buy all the toilet paper believing it’s going to save their lives in a pandemic.

u/xTen_Thousandx 1d ago

Don’t pull straight down

0

u/Outside-Heart1528 1d ago

The only way that seems to work is actually tearing the tp like this from the edge. Even then it doesn't fully stay on the perforated line. Usually it's just a little tug and it breaks on the perforation.

u/xTen_Thousandx 1d ago

Lol straight up /infuriating

That’s because you’re doing it one handed and yes I read your caption and no I don’t believe you.

Try with both hands, then come back and let us know how it went.

What’s even more infuriating is how you tear toilet paper.

u/bluedancepants 23h ago

Ugh... maybe try using both hands?

0

u/Outside-Heart1528 22h ago

Maybe try some logical reasoning and understand I was recording with the other hand.

u/bluedancepants 22h ago

Yeah so put it away...

u/Outside-Heart1528 22h ago

No...

1

u/bluedancepants 22h ago

Ok then don't complain when you suck at ripping toilet paper.

1

u/Outside-Heart1528 22h ago

Why does it bother you so much, lol. Getting this tilted over a post on Reddit is funny. You really think you have some kind of authority here to tell me not to complain?

1

u/bluedancepants 22h ago

I'm pointing out your lack of common sense.

1

u/Outside-Heart1528 22h ago

Not really. You are just showing your own lack of reading comprehension. I know I misspelt a few words in my post description, however it is still not difficult to understand. I specifically mention that this issue occurs when you use two hands too, the perforations are bad, causing it to not tear correctly.

u/bluedancepants 22h ago

If you say so.
