But the toilet paper thing doesn't.

Kind of? In the bathtub instance one could get the same benefit from leaving the bags in the car until you've inspected the room.

The chances of a hotel room having bedbugs is small, just like the size of the creatures.

The article contained several odd household tricks. One claimed it would be good to put hairbrushes in the dishwasher. Another advised about pouring various liquids down the drain, which we covered in two previous fact checks about dish soap and salt. We also found a questionable oven cleaning tip, plus purported bread uses, which we also covered in the past.

On page 41, which was the last page, a toilet paper roll trick was finally revealed. However, it had nothing to do with placing it under a toilet seat at night. It simply advised to attach a cardboard roll to a vacuum cleaner hose to reach crevices.

The 41-page article never mentioned a word about why to always place a toilet paper roll under a toilet seat at night. It was nothing but clickbait. We clicked “next page” 40 times so you don’t have to.

We looked to home improvement websites such as BobVila.com to see if there was perhaps a legitimate purpose for the toilet paper roll or a red cup going under the seat. However, we found no such tips, tricks, or “life hacks.”

After this story was published, a reader sent in a tip that said an empty toilet paper roll propping up the seat might be a helpful warning to the next person to enter the stall that there’s no toilet paper.

The other way to tell the next person is to wipe your ass with all of the guest towels

willing to sub out the brain for something else, depending on how shitty the rest of life is in this theoretical place

xpost Good choices. If you relinquish your vagina you don't have to worry about what to feed it.

as far as dried boogers go, if you're looking to "fix" them then you're also "missing out on a burgeoning 'can't miss' market of secondary booger sales"

"Hang on, let me put this wearable device on" would, imho, constitute an awkward interruption.

Yes, of course the reasons stated on the bottle are why I'm buying a gallon of delicious coyote urine
