| Supermarket-shopping stocking obsessions |
| Tuesday, September 05, 2006 |
 I had a recent conversation with a friend about supermarket-shopping-stocking obsessions; namely, the one thing we can't bear to run out of. She can't bear to run out of toilet paper, and she thinks stocks are running low when she has to crack open her last 12-pack. Another friend of ours can't bear to run out of soap and so he (yes, 'he') has a cupboard full of soap in case there's, I dunno, a random mud slide or other personal dirtiness event.
I'm not so anal (Dad-joke corniness alert) about toilet paper, and will resort to the paper serviettes/napkins if my loo has become sans loo rolls. But I feel positively bereft when I run out of sweet chilli sauce. Yes I know - very odd.
Anyway I sent my loo-paper friend this picture, suggesting it would be a positive home renovation - and she responded by giving me an early birthday present - the biggest packet of toilet paper I have ever seen, with 72 rolls! I turned up to her house and she had wrapped it up complete with a big bow.
Now I wonder if her stocking obsession has burgeoned and she'll be compelled to keep my bathroom cupboard stocked with loo paper too ;) |
