I’ve been in a few share houses in my time.
In my Uni days I remember moving seven times one year.
I can’t even remember the names of half the flatmates I used to live with. Crazy times.
Along the way, being the poor student, I sometimes used general household items that belonged to my flatmates that I probably shouldn’t have been touching.
Toilet paper was always the hardest to resist.
Hiding away, door closed – I was a vulnerable young man tempted by the choices in front of me.
Should I use my scratchy 2 ply roll and risk the painful consequences of being honest, or borrow just a few sheets of my flatmate’s nice soft 4 ply roll that sat calling out to me?
It’s a bit naughty… but I reckon we’ve all chosen the latter option at some point.
There you sit, wondering in earnest if your flatmate will notice a couple of missing sheets from their roll.
Nahhh… as if.
So you sneak a few – just enough to get the job done. (No more, because that would be greedy.)
There’s no way they’ll ever notice. And besides, it’s only a bit of toilet paper.
Well, that’s how I USED to think. Because before listening to our legendary friend Jason I had no idea that some people would go to such extraordinary lengths to save money.
And rightfully so.
If you think your flatmates are up to funny business, then you better watch this video to work out how to catch them out.
The careful monitoring of a treasured possession, and the subsequent setting of a trap, equals one big FREE roll of toilet paper.
