Non-car content after the jump. This is legitimately the stupidest thing I’ve ever had to be annoyed about, and I get to be annoyed by some REALLY stupid things. Here’s a nice picture of my FZJ80 before I start.
Right, so a few months ago I got my cousin (my actual cousin’s ex husband) a job. One of the perks of the job is that we have what amounts to our own private bathroom where we store parking boots and paperwork.
The city no longer takes care of the bathroom, since it’s only us that use it, so we’re on the hook for buying toilet paper, soap, keeping it clean, etc. It’s fine, not a big deal.
He was out sick today, I went into the bathroom to kill some time on a Friday. I’m finishing up, I look down at the floor and there’s two rolls of toilet paper left. Which is odd, because only a day ago there were four rolls of toilet paper left.
In a weird coincidence, I took this picture yesterday:
At the time I was perturbed that the new roll of toilet paper was on the dirty ass floor, but more importantly, it proved my theory that there were four rolls left the day before.
Long story short, dude stole two rolls of toilet paper that I bought myself for the bathroom. If it was one I wouldn’t care and probably wouldn’t have noticed, but why two? Go buy your own god damn toilet paper, dude.
This is a Seinfeld-level of dumb shit for me to be annoyed about. It’s literally $1 worth of toilet paper, but the city didn’t put it there, I did. I’ll give you a dollar to buy toilet paper if you need it, but I don’t think he was broke, I think he was being lazy.
Anyway, that’s the real dumb shit I was annoyed by today.

If you’re in charge of parking boots, I hope no one steals your toilet paper, but everyone pisses all over it so it is in a wet pile of piss paper on the floor. Parking boots are the devil’s handiwork.

Parking boots are a necessary evil. I can’t feel too bad about booting people who get ticketed for parking in handicap spots, across crosswalks, in front of fire hydrants, or for repeatedly running red lights.

What’s the point of the boot though, then they can’t move it. Why can’t they just get a ticket?
Asking as someone who’s never been booted.

Eh, maybe he already felt ill and knew he was running low at home, so he decided to take some for his illness. I wouldn’t work myself up over it just yet, but you should monitor to see that he’s not just using tp from your job to fulfill his home needs.

My city doesn’t boot for a single ticket, we boot for multiple infractions. You need to have three tickets that are at least three months old each...they send lots of notices to the people too. So once you get a boot, you’ve had lots of time and opportunities to pay the tickets.

Yeah, I mean if that was the case take a roll. If he took one (and they’re mega rolls, the big ones) I wouldn’t have thought much of it, but even in my house one of those rolls lasts a week. So taking two makes it seem like he just doesn’t want to buy his own.
I’m a very low level of annoyed about it, since it’s the point of the thing and not the thing itself, haha.

parking boots are a necessary evil when there’s not an actual community to police itself. I live about 200 miles from the closest place that likely needs parking boots.

Police itself how, exactly? It’s a city of 200,000 people, not a small town.

I had a job once where the boss got irritated because people were always taking the TP home.

The only time I’ve lost my shit on my students was a day when I’d bought a handful of Velcro loops for taming speaker cords and they promptly lost most of them. Like between the school where we packed our truck and the school a half hour away where we unpacked it. Tens of thousands of dollars in equipment, and I lost it over Velcro. But it was the same principle. I was embarrassed about it, but I was more embarrassed that the parents backed me on it. They’ve taken much better care of their stuff ever since, though.

Still though. Why not tow and impound it?

They do eventually, once it’s been booted two days. We don’t like to do that, it’s a waste of time...I’d prefer people just go to court and get a judgement, I don’t want to take anybody’s car.

Same principle I’d imagine. Of course if my company or the city paid for it I wouldn’t give a shit...I care because I paid for it out of pocket. I didn’t pay much mind you, but I still paid my own money.

Keep it in your desk and take a roll with you when you go.

Its possible he took a roll to use as Kleenex at his desk. When I get sick I usually take a roll of TP, stick it on a 50ct CD spindle and keep it on my nightstand. But also keep in mind I have major sinus issues when I’m not sick, so when I get sick; I get SIIIICKKK.
PS- I also misplace a lot of TP rolls doing this

It’s a shockingly good daily driver if you don’t give even a single shit about gas mileage, because your combined MPG is going to rhyme with ‘melve’. I love the thing though, it’s just so solid.

Mine gets melve mpgs on a good day, though I’ve gotten as many as melve plus four.
