Floaters
My first year at Northern Michigan University and I was living in the dorms. I shared a room with another kid who ended up being a great friend. We shared the bathroom with 2 suite-mates, who seemed like decent guys. After everyone settled into the routine we got to see what they were really like.

Our first conflicts came when our suitemates continually refused/forgot to flush the toilet. This is a problem that never went away.

When it came time to split up provisions, my roommate and I agreed to buy the first round to toilet paper, they would buy the next, etc. Only they never provided their own. Finally after having bought several, my roommate and I decided to keep our own stash and carry it into the toilet each time.

This is the point at which I believe our suitemates stopped using toilet paper all together.

You may ask how I know they stopped, and this goes back to the problem of not flushing the toilet. Daily, upon returning from my first classes, I would go in for my morning glory, only to be greeted by the dreaded floater. Like clockwork there would be a ripe shit in the toilet with no trace of toilet paper to be found.

To this day it still boggles my mind. Did they wipe BEFORE shitting? No, that would be inconceivable. Did they pack the toilet paper out with them and dispose of it another way? The only plausible conclusion I could come up with is they gave up wiping all together.

If you can figure this one out you are smarter than I.
