Showing Original Post only (View all)What is the proper quantity of toilet paper to purchase at one time? [View all]
If you buy 30+ rolls from Costco it's "Jeez, that guy wipes his ass a lot", but if you only buy a 4 pack it's like "What, this guy can't afford to spring for more than four rolls", or "what's this guy trying to say, he don't wipe his ass?".
And I don't know what messages of desperation you're sending out if you buy just one single roll of toilet paper. Is it "what, this guy's dying tomorrow?" or "this poor bastard only has a buck to his name?".
How many rolls (deep, personal question I know) do you buy at a time?
I like the 24 pack. It says "I'm prepared, but not a freak.".
BEFORE YOU ALERT ON THIS, GIVE ME THE HEADS UP AND ILL DELETE IT.

Buy the 30+ rolls and announce to everyone in the store it's your yearly supply.
