I am just curious how many of my fellow TB'ers have had to use items such as:
socks
underwear (guilty)
undershirts
unwrapped the cardboard toilet paper roll holder (guilty)
tried to waddle walk to the next toilet (guilty)
tried to crawl under/over the stall
asked a neighbor for a courtesy piece of tissue
Any good stories?
(Keep it clean)

Sometimes, it happens. |

And yes, I've been there... some kind of magical, commode-related higher power was smiling down on me that day...

Sometimes, it happens. | Absolutely! As bad as it is, sometimes you have to use a public toilet. I always check before I bomb that there is TP to hand. Pillage if you have to. Check the hand towel dispensers.
I wouldn't be above losing a sock if I had to.
Worse than that is when you're just about to open the bay doors and drop the bombs and the bathroom goes silent except for the one guy having a whizz!  |

Don't forget the dude taking the whizz is like 80, hocks a lugie, and decides to break wind while doing his business.
How can you NOT laugh at that? It's embarrassing.
The first things that always comes out of those guys mouths is a loud "PFSCHEW!" like they just made it to the bathroom in time and proceed to do the above mentioned. |

I never got to thank that kind soul...

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: Fredericksburg, Virginia | | Once, in a public rest stop, i realized that in my haste to decompress that there was no TP. So, after dispensing, I pulled up my pants, not attaching the zipper or button, and went ot the next stall, cleaned up, and went on my way. It was reletively dry. If it had been more into the liquid realm, then...

Sometimes, it happens. | And on the occasion it does I may resort to public bathrooms, it depends on how bad it really is.

There have been a few times when I was in the only bathroom for miles with no paper in sight. I have 4 t-shirts that have sacrificed their sleeves for me.

1. I almost never do that in a public restroom.
2. If I absolutely have to, I check on the TP beforehand.
3. If none exists in any stall, I get napkins or something.
