We have a saying at my centre that our elderly residents 吃toilet paper. Not that we are mocking them or anything but the toilet paper at my centre disappears at an alarming rate. It's like - Alexis puts the toilet paper into the toilet roll holder in the morning before the exercise session. 30 minutes later, someone will be knocking on the office door to ask Alexis to refill the toilet paper. LIKE HUH!?
Our dear cleaner even found toilet paper hidden behind the water closet. I can't fathom why people will keep a secret stash of toilet paper in the toilet.
We came up with a few reasons for the mystery disappearance of our toilet paper:
1) Upholding the high standards of cleanliness - the more toilet paper, the cleaner is the ____ .
2) The many uses of toilet paper - toilet paper is being used to wipe everything. From the floor to every part of the human body.
3) It's free - freebies are always a draw for the people of my country. Since it's free, just take. Take home. Take for family. Take for relatives' families. Take for pet dog.
4) Sense of security - I think it's more secure for them to know that they will always have a secret stash of toilet paper around the toilet (i.e. behind the flower pot, in the water closet, behind the water closet, etc). So rolls of toilet paper are just being hidden away.
5) A relaxation technique - You know how people sometimes tear paper for comfort. Maybe the pulling of toilet paper off the toilet roll allows the feeling of comfort to descend upon them.
6) Delicious toilet paper??
Whatever the reason, I just find it real sad that a lot of our centre's money is spent on buying toilet paper.
