Hi all,
Sue and I are just finishing a seven week stint as caretakers at the historic village of
Cossack on the northern coast of WA.
It has been a great job and we've met some wonderful people - locals and travellers alike. But one thing that has us gobsmacked is the number of people who will steal the dunny roll from the
public toilets in order to save themselves 60 cents and inconvenience all those who come after them!
I have been able to establish that 50% of the rolls are being knocked off by the local indigenous
population and the other 50% by travellers. Folks, if you're some of the travellers that desperately need dunny paper, come to the office and we'll give you a bloody roll....lol
Cheers
Russ

That would explain why most
public toilets have "
John Wayne" dunny paper as no one in their right mind would use it, let alone steal it LOL

maybe the ones who were knocking the rolls of were restoring old cars and needed some 80 grit sandpaper then? LOL

Hi Russ and Sue
Yes it's most annoying to find the old no "dunny paper trick" which is why we always take our own.
I guess the small concern I have is how you determined the percentages of paper pinchers to the various groups as mentioned. On second thoughts I don't want to know.....lol
(%-0))))))

Yes, it's amazing! I remember a guy at work, who, on the day of retiring from the job, knocked off a box of
toilet paper and a box of paper towel on the way out. I mean, how petty; it was pretty ordinary
toilet paper and the paper towel wouldn't fit a standard kitchen dispenser anyway!

we've found travelling in all states, that 75% of the public dunnies have no paper 'cause some one knocked it off.
We now take our own.

Taking your own just in case has been a "golden" standard for many, many years now....

Can't go wrong taking your own !!!
Nothing worse than walking half a mile to a public dunny, to find there is no paper, and even IF it does have some, its like sandpaper.

It apparently costs more than you might think:

(Seen in the site sheds of a major construction/
infrastructure project).
Seriously, we always carry a roll (or two) of our own anyway because you can never guarantee it will be available when you need it (esp. if you're camping somewhere where even a
toilet isn't provided). Even if the TP hasn't been knocked off, what's provided in most
places will give you almost the equivalent of a gravel-rash!

Really, I wish they would steal more of them - I find the water is delivered far more gently from a hole in the wall than from the standard "needles" shower heads that eject the water in 5 penetrating borer jets - of which I only ever manage to be able to get under 2 of them at any one time! :)

We have seen rolls LOCKED to the dispenser, one would have to unroll the lot to steal it!
Agree with those who take their own into which ever loo - been caught once, never again!
Not just tourists, locals etc, I work for a BIG Aust Govt Dept and where the "Brains of the Nation" gather and work, the loos still get blocked by rolls of loo paper stuffed in them by infantile minds and still get filthied by some poor souls who must have eaten a 200L drum full of "Roothies curried stews" (Roothy of 4x4 Mag and CandM magazine) by the look and odours!
Nuff said here!
Cheers - Mobi
