That is a riot! I laughed out loud! I think I had the same problem once with paper towels!

Thanks, Bonnie! I'm glad others are also thwarted by these issues.

dang, i thought the reveal was gonna be that you just, you know...could remove the roll without doing anything to the stand at all. like those bead things in doctors & dentists offices. i definitely never would have figured it out.

these! https://i.redd.it/jg4dmjrvnkt31.jpg

so like the toilet paper would be a bead and, even though it would seem impossible to make such a turn, it would. like when your key gets "impossibly" stuck in your keyring but then it just shakes out somehow.

honestly...those bead things...they were at every doctor and dentist i've seen and it's so gross bc you know they ain't cleaning those beads. and sick kids are just glomming all up on 'em.

lololol I'm dying!!!!! yes of course these grotesque "games" in every doctor's office! "Glom" is the perfect word. I am now vividly remembering the one at my dentist's. This is so perfect as a parallel to the toilet paper (and THE KEYS!) I am at a loss for words. Thank you.
