Do you know how to align the perforations on a toilet roll?
Inspired by this thread, I'm asking a question of even more earth-shattering importance:
When you find the perforations on the two layers of toilet paper don't line up, can you / do you do anything about it?Last edited by Rajagra; 04-26-2009 at 11:25 AM.

This happens with two-ply rolls. When the roll is started, i.e., the end is unstuck from the roll, one ply was unwound more and is now out of synch. The solution is to unwind the second ply so that its perforation matches the perforation of the other ply.
Obviously, in addition to being obsessive, I also spend too much time in the bathroom but, hey, it's an important part of life and I do enjoy a good dump.edhewitt likes this.

When the day comes that I worry about stuff like this I think it will be time to retire and become a moderator on SRP. Oh wait I am retired and am a moderator.

I'm just lazy and strip one ply and use the second for another go.
No pun intended

If you worry about this issue, does that truly make you classified as anal retentive?

Absolutely not! Anal retentives don't need toilet paper. I, on the other hand, retain nothing! Originally Posted by Seraphim

Mwoohahahahaha! Thank you Rajagra for countering some of the more mud-wrestling-with-pigs-kind-of recent moral 'discussions' around here!
That, and the realization that I'm not the only one indulging in annoyance over this occasional domestic inconvenience (4th option, btw) really made my day!

You forgot option 6:
• I have a meltdown, rip the roll from its holder, race all over the house leaving a trail of ripped and tangled toilet paper in my frantic attempts to make the problem go away, and end up back in the bathroom, huddled in the bathtub racked with hoarse curses and sobs.
