Presenting the Automatic TP Dispenser

Public bathrooms are gross. I am not some freakish germaphobe, but even I realize that sharing a toilet with hundreds of strangers (especially drunk ones) is not fun. Or sanitary. Even if you believe what Dr. Oz (the awesome doc on Oprah) said about toilet seats being pretty clean surfaces, the rest of the situation is not. The floor, the flusher, the tampon trash can that people probably push open with their used….things.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Anyways, I don’t know about you but I know that I am pretty careful when using the bathroom. I lay TP down on the seat before I sit down, flush the toilet with my foot, and never (EVER!) put my handbag on the floor.

But until I saw this new invention, I never even considered the gross factor that is the toilet paper dispenser.

Who knows who/what has touched that thing? And the long strip of paper hanging out from the roll when you get in there? Lord knows where that’s been dangling. I don’t even want to think about it.

Okay, I just did and now I’m getting sick again.

This invention is awesome. Not only does it prevent me from having to actually interact with the toilet paper roll, but it is also a great force of conservation, considering how much toilet paper people waste. People like me, unfortunately, who have to wrap the entire seat before settling in.

I just hope they get these at my neighborhood bars ASAP. I may still have to play the game of “Vomit or Some-Other-Gross-Substance” in the stall, but at least I won’t have to touch a thing.
