Did it occur to anyone that maybe the old coot doesn't know how to add right?

I wonder if they monitor how many adult diapers they go through in a week. Probably depends on what their eating that week.

Without RTFA, I'm going to guess that he counted each two ply piece as a sheet, and not two sheets.

Good use of the ASININE tag, Subby!

What an asswipe!

I often wonder what interests I might have as a dribbling 80-year old, hopefully counting bog paper won't be one of them, unless it is for pure, selfish financial gain.

Poop thread! And it is green poop!

This sounds like some of the crap my father would pull out of his asshole.

The kid on the book doesn't poop too easily by the look of things.

I'm taking a huge dump right now, so I'm really getting a kick......

hero tag on vacation???

this guy is taking one for the team, least we can do is praise him and his OCDness.

He HAS to have 198!?

God, this guy is so anal-retentive...

"We'll get right on that, Granpa"

I thought this was boring until I saw this little tidbit at the bottom:

An average of 666 rolls of toilet paper are used at the Pentagon each day.

Which of course proves that the US Government = the Antichrist.

Well, In this persons defense...40 sheets could be very handy.

Zik-Zak: He HAS to have 198!?

Alright, that was a good one.

Hell, amen for these OCD coots. They help keep companies honest. "There GODDAMN BETTER be TWO SCOOPS in my GODDAMN RAISIN BRAN!!!" More power to em...

More like ASS-inine!

Well, if a company was getting away with producing 20% less than advertised, that would be an issue.

Maybe in 40 years when I'm retired and really bored, I'll count paper towel sheets instead :) I'll post my findings to Fark if it's still around...

Is the subby's point that the man needs to get a life, or that a company shouldn't be held accountable for its claims as long as no one would be expected to check, or that toilet paper touches the anus?

Sinister Steve: Did it occur to anyone that maybe the old coot doesn't know how to add right?

I think thats the only explanation. All of his rolls from every manufacturer came up short, yet when the Denver post counted, all of the rolls had the right amount.

Hope I die before I start spending my time counting toothpicks and toilet paper squares.

approves

Um... wouldn't you be pissed off you were getting only 75% of what you paid for?

Oh, it's only Colorado

Considering you used to need an extender to fit a densely packed triple-roll in your holder and now you "need" one for a quad-roll that feels like a pillow...

Yeah...

And what's the deal with toilet paper? You ever take a big ol healthy shiat and start wiping your ass, only to poke through the paper and give yourself an impromptu cancer screening?

And HEY...don't get me started on airline food!

FTFA: Before toilet tissue, wealthy Romans used wool and rosewater or sponges soaked in salt water at the end of a stick.

And Muslims used their bare left hand.

I once bought a couple bags of clothespins for a school project and came up really short. I bought 4 bags of 100, and I needed and expected to get 400. Actually got closer to 340.

I only use the good stuff...

Said man is the actual person the movie '40 year old virgin' was based on.

on the consumer's side, most people don't realize how the manufacturer's bottom line is affected by simple volume... an example that i give my wife:

wolf/ritz camera loves to push the white border prints... though a few prints don't phase the consumer, it makes a huge impact for the printer... that little 1/4-1/8 inch probably saves them a hell of a lot of money...

of course, this is entirely speculation and even if true, i think it's brilliant on their part... i'm sure there are plenty of other examples..

Easy to loose count when you keep interupting your dump to chase people off your lawn.

Someone should TP his lawn...

Now as far as how this stacks up on the consumer complaint continuum I'll state you pick based on the Charmin effect (feel at the store, heft whatever) and the porcelain effect (feel at home as rub it on your crack). So what will happen is this company will send old coot several coupons for free stuff and make a promise to "update" their literature. That way it's nobody's fault and like I said, it's not like anyone looks at the sheet count on the package other than a couple eccentrics.

Also based on the jaded replies, I'd say Ralph Nader can save his application filing fee to run for President.

Gee, cheating you out of your money to the tune of nearly 25% of the price of the toilet paper? Maybe I should run my business this way since you guys don't seem to mind so much.

Man counts every sheet of toilet paper he uses and discovers Angel Soft only delivers an average of 156.75 sheets of the 198 promised, so he calls the Better Business Bureau and makes a stink
===================

That's 31 sheets! I used about 10 of those rolls this semester at school... that's 310 sheets. That's an extra two rolls!

Think about it!

I like how the Denver Post url has it in a "breakingnews" file.

it all evens out i once got 7 chicken mcnuggets once

Ok, it's silly he counted it but seriously at 4 sheets per use as a woman on a pee trip that is 10 trips if they're shorting me 40 sheets.

I LOLed.

Considering that his box of toothpicks came up short too, I'm guessing he's making math errors.

I've actually counted a box of toothpicks more than once, and they all came out right on the nose. (Don't ask.)

Did someone say green crap?



This stuff will make your crap green.

i bet his wife was in there stealing sheets in between dumps laughing her ass off. i don't think i could live without someone doing something that stupid without farking with their endeavor.
