Today, after a day, I finally noticed that the toilet paper I'd been using to wipe my butt is actually a roll of paper towel cut in half. My dad thinks that it's a waste of money to buy proper paper. Guess who had to unclog the toilet twice. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, in desperate need of a shit, I quickly ran into a shop to buy toilet paper. I rushed home and unleashed, only to realise I'd bought paper towels. Without options, I had to wipe my ass with them and consequently blocked the toilet. I found rolls of toilet paper while looking for the plunger. FML
Today, my dad hid the toilet paper and is charging me 50 cents a roll. FML
Today, my entire family of five is sharing one roll of toilet paper. My parents refuse to buy any, because my father can get it free from his work. He's forgotten to bring any home every day without fail for the past seven days. FML
Today, I was drying myself with a towel after a shower when I noticed a bad smell. After running out of toilet paper last night, one of my friends decided to use my clean towel to wipe herself instead. FML
Today, I took a dump without checking for toilet paper. I then called my step dad, who said "use the stuff in the garbage." FML
Today, my household ran out of toilet paper so we have to shower after every dump. My mom just confessed that she does in fact have money for shit tickets, but won't buy any because it's the only way she can get my brother to shower. FML
Today, as I realized I'm too broke to go out and get more toilet paper, I noticed my cat chewing on something and tearing it apart. It was my last roll. FML
Today, I accidentally dropped a whole roll of toilet paper into the toilet. It was my last roll. FML
Today, I discovered my new boyfriend doesn’t have toilet paper. He has a toilet cloth, which he instructed me to rinse off in the toilet after I was done. FML
Today, I was going to the bathroom. As I was about to wipe, I noticed that the toilet paper had butterflies printed on it. Never before had I felt bad for wiping my ass. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just buy your own toilet paper and keep it in your room

Buying toilet paper is just cheaper and easier than going through this hassle. Anyway, does it clean better? :D

Excuse my ignorance but why is OP flushing toilet paper down the toilet in the first place? Wouldn't it be simpler to throw it in a trash bin?

I think it depends on where you live. I'm from Germany and it's absolutely normal here to flush down the toilet paper since the pipes can (normally) handle it. Don't know about Canada but I think the same applies here.

Who doesn't flush toilet paper down the toilet when you've just wiped your ass with it? Who would want that shit lingering around in their garbage can, smelling up the area? That's just gross.

A friend of mine uses baby wipes and those aren't the best to flush. The wipes (and even toilet paper) are thrown in a garbage bin next to the toilet. Thrash bags are thrown away often so smell is never an issue. It works for her, she has a weak flushing toilet and can't afford to replace it yet.

Or you could wipe your butt with your left hand. .

Let your dad unclog it a time or two. That'll teach him

Did it make your ass sparkle?

That doesn't make sense. Paper towel is generally much more expensive than toilet paper.

If it makes sense to the parents then it is the "right" way.

Toilet paper is cheaper than paper towels.

Paper towels are more expensive per meter.

I don't get why everyone doesn't just use a bidet shower. You don't have to keep buying toilet paper and water seems more satisfying (we clean everything else with water so..). Although OP's dad might just complain about it increasing water bills.
