One thing that irks me quite a bit is when I go into a public toilet and there are little pieces of toilet paper on the ground. How the hell do they get there? Do people just pull random bits of toilet paper off the roll and throw them there? How lazy is it to put it in the bin or in the toilet thus keeping the toilet tidy?

I couldn’t understand it at all, until today. I caught myself in the act of doing the exact thing I hated. I pulled the toilet paper out of the roll and the roll got stuck causing only the tiniest piece to tear off. I then proceeded to drop this piece on the floor before trying again.

How often do we do things unconsciously? Especially things that we don’t want to do, or that we don’t like doing, or even completely irks us when other people do it? How often do I do it myself?

Every now and again I know I at least need to wake up and pay attention to what I am doing because I am constantly guilty of this. I say I don’t want to do something then continue down that path.

I need to pay attention to what I am doing with the toilet roll before I turn the whole room into a waste paper basket. I ned to pay attention to what I am doing in my life before I turn my whole life into a mess I don’t want to live through.
