How to write "I need paper" on the outside of the toilet door, while you are inside?

Question

Everybody has gone through this difficult situation. Suppose you are in a public toilet because of sudden need that you hadn't time to check on the paper. You don't know if somebody is oustide. You don't want to open the door, and shouting may be prohibited or rude. So what you do?

Answer 1

Shoutings fine.

Answer 2

Hi there... I also live in the country and have 2 adult cats and 3 kittens. My 2 adult cats are indoor/outdoor cats, but they really only come inside at night time to eat and sleep. Otherwise, they are always outside just playing around. So, in order to train them to go outside, you have to keep them outside for a long period of time...don't give them option to come back in for awhile. Plus, if you have some type of sand or gravel or even a pile of dirt that they can use in this transition, they'll do their business there and not in the house. Eventually, you can just take the litter boxes away and they'll know that they need to do their business outside from now on. But, the kittens are another story only because it's going to take longer for them to learn the new ways. Try going outside with all of the cats at the same time and keep your eye on the kittens. They'll probably learn by watching the adult cats and as they get older, it will just become natural for them to go outside. If you still insist on keeping a litter box in the house, put baking soda in the litter....it helps with the smell a lot. Good luck!

Answer 3

Everyone is going about this the wrong way. You flush the toilet after the deed. There is now clean water in the bowl. You wash your derrier with the water and your left hand. Then you wash your left hand after reflushing. I just cam't believe how pretty you lot are.

[Pretty is a new word meaning : prissy, petty, puce, stooopid]

Pretty people NEVER check the toilet paper status before dropping the goods

Answer 4

Letting out a sigh in dismay followed by a short but harmless curse such as 'bugger' normally provokes any fellow bathroomers to offer assistance in the aquisition of toilet paper.
This way you spare the embarassment of asking someone who may turn out to be either highly amused at your situation and in no way compelled to aid you, or bigger and scarier than you could imagine, wanting to come in and deliver it with a personal touch!!

Answer 5

that's happened to me before and I always just say "hello? anyone there?" normally there is and I ask them to throw me some paper over the top of the door. It's a desperate situation, so shouting or speakly loudly should be tolerated!

Answer 6

Use the sanitary toilet seat covers that hang in a container right up above or to the side of the toilet... its just paper... don't be afraid. It works. problem solved...because you didn't mention whether or not that would be at your disposal lol

Answer 7

Write it down on some toilet paper using poo! I've done it loads of times. Make sure you wash under your fingernails after!!!

Answer 8

Shouting's fine.. but what do you do when you're alone in the bog and no one's there to hear?

Did you type your question in a public toilet?

Answer 9

Go ahead and shout. Hopefully the person that hears you can enter the bathroom. Ladies won't go into the mens' room.

Answer 10

I say refer to the great wealth of knowledge of pop culture on this one.... Seinfield.... like the wise Elaine said in this very situation.... Can you spare a square? Most folks would be more than happy to spare a square if they have a square to spare.
