Today, I was so ashamed of being broke that instead of asking my parents for money, I snuck into their house while they were at work to steal some of their food. FML
Karma
Karma karma karma karma chameleon, you come and go.
Today, I forgot my phone in a restaurant bathroom because I was too distracted trying to steal three rolls of toilet paper without anyone noticing. After sinking that low because I was too broke to buy my own toilet roll, I'm now also in the market for a new phone. FML

Today, I was on the toilet at work. After a very loud and very smelly session, I waited until the other stall had been vacated to keep my anonymity. As I leant forward for some toilet roll, my ID fell out of my pocket and into the next stall. When I came out, it was face up near the sink. FML

Shit for brains
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

Think what do I need. Not coffee every morning, Internet could go, do you really need television if you have financial problems? If you've got cell data, is it absolutely necessary to have? What about getting rid of those old clothes you never wear anymore and could have a yard sale for? Take out all the unnecessary items and you'll find you're richer than you think.

There must be some way, even if it seems small or insignificant, that you could cut down or redistribute the way way you spend money. I pray things get better for you!

Fast Food napkins are the poor person's toilet paper lol. Sorry about your situation, that's never fun :(

Those aren't made to be flushed and won't dissolve in water like toilet paper is designed to. If you flush too many you'll ruin your septic system and cause thousands in damage.

That's why you throw them in a closed receptacle with a bag in it.

I hope you don't lose your job over that : ( that would be REALLY bad. Maybe if you explain they might give you some extra shifts? Good luck OP

Op, yeah you shouldn't have stolen the toilet paper, or attempted to. But I get it. I remember growing up and my mom sending my siblings and I to Wendy's for napkins to use as tp. It was embarrassing and humiliating. I'm sorry you're so bad off financially. As others have said, ask for some extra shifts or look for a second job. I wish you the best of luck.
