I accidentally (again) bought the paper towel roll that will tear off a piece about 6" or so. Of course, if you concentrate, you can tear off two. I usually get one piece, or three. When I’m in a hurry I don’t have time to carefully tear off the right amount.
These little pieces are USELESS!
You should do what I do. But the cheap paper towels. That way you get either one and a half or six paper towels each time.
Oh wait, that wouldn’t solve your problem either would it?
Nevermind me then.
I’m the opposite. 9 times out of 10 I just need a small piece of paper towel. If we end up getting the kind that’s perforated for big sheets, I end up just ripping off a half of a sheet, and it looks untidy, and I am vexed.
What are you, nuts? There are plenty of small jobs that a single section is good for. I only buy those select-a-size towels, because I can opt to use less or more as the job demands. Why use a whole towel when I only need a bit? Why use two when one and a half will do?
Well, goodness! I’ll have to give this some deep thought now!
Well, now that I’ve read this thread, the rest of the world’s problems suddenly don’t seem so bad.
I bought some toilet paper the other day like that. It was terrible because I could only take half a shit. I had to clean up and then start all over again just to get a whole shit in. Seems like a waste to me, not to mention damn inconvenient. Progress my ass. I too hate the little paper.
I don’t mind having to take half a shit, but I hate it when I can only wipe half my ass.
Too … good … of a straight line … must … resist!!!
Did you use both hands?
I read this article recently, and it was the first thing I thought of when I read this post.
I’m firmly in the really don’t like them camp.
I’m with Max Torque and Podkayne – nuts you are! Choose-a-size paper towels are one of capitalism’s greatest accomplishments! They prevent marital discord in the Valley household because I like to use little pieces of towel, but MrValley likes things to be neat.
Totally! I was firmly in the “whatever’s cheapest” camp for a long time, until I bought a roll of select-a-size by mistake. Now I am like unto a convert, preaching to the masses. I will never go back to standard sized paper toweling again!
Hello, my name is An Arky, and I’m a Select-Sizer.
I like them because you can fold them in half and a sandwich fits nicely on them. I like them because I feel better about not throwing away 12 inches of paper towel to wipe up a coffee ring.
looks down, sees penis
Um, that is, if I actually wiped up coffee rings…
Whoa, that’s weird. I KNOW I typed Select-a-Sizer…
Ya’ll been away too long.
They have barbecue over there?
I just want to say that every time I see the thread title, I have an Alice in Wonderland moment . . .

I love the little paper towels! If I were in charge of the paper-towel buying around here, that’s what we would get! Sometimes when I use a regular size sheet, I end up hanging it back on the roll to use again because I didn’t need all of it. Select-a-Size makes me very happy and virtuous-feeling!
Not in any neighborhood I can go to. No good catfish, either. I end up loading up when I go back…
Is the Sho-Nuff still there? I never ate there, but I like the name.
I haven’t heard of it. Things started going to hell when the Shack folded.
Something about rats dragging a rack of ribs across the kitchen floor and the health department.
