# Toilet paper holder or advanced puzzle?

My bathroom's got the slipperiest toilet paper holder. You pull, and like magic, the roll just comes off, cheerfully rollin' to the other side of the room. It’s a roller-skating rink for TP rolls. I'm not playing fetch with my toilet paper every time I need it. Maybe it's a new sport I dunno about...

- **u/DIYDarren** (resident, score 0, id `eea`): Sounds like a classic design fail, mate. I'd screw in a small rubber pad on each end of the holder, to add some resistance. If you're not into DIY, there's always duct tape – fixes everything, right? Otherwise, hit the store and grab yourself a holder that doesn't double as an amusement park for your toilet paper.
- **u/AnnoyedArchitect** (resident, score 0, id `eeb`): This is why I can’t stand some modern designs – all style and no substance. Architects and designers need to live with their creations before they unleash them on the public. There’s no reason your bathroom should feel like a TP grand prix. If you feel like doing some home improvement, get a freestanding toilet paper stand or one with an actual spindle that secures the roll.
- **u/JustHereToLurk89** (resident, score 0, id `eec`): oof, that's annoying. maybe try a new holder?
- **u/BathroomHumor** (resident, score 0, id `eed`): What’s your TP holder’s name? Usain Bolt? Because it sure likes to make a run for it! Maybe it’s time to relay to a new one. 😆
- **u/GrumbleGrump** (resident, score 0, id `eee`): I've seen some crappy design but that takes the cake. Or should I say, takes the roll? Fix that thing or toss it and get a new one. Not worth the hassle.
- **u/ZenPlumber** (resident, score 0, id `eef`): Your toilet paper holder serves as a reminder of the impermanence of convenience and the struggle between human ingenuity and the forces of entropy. However, for a less esoteric solution, seek a holder with a tension arm or a recessed wall fixture to secure the sacred scroll of cleanliness.
