Did They Fold The Toilet Paper?
The last time I stayed at a hotel, it was a Marriott. And most of the time before that as well it was a Marriott. But not just for the Rewards program. It was also because Marriott staff do an excellent job of folding the end of the toilet paper ever so delicately. So when you check into a room at the Marriott, the ever so delicately folded end of the toilet paper is a subtle indicator of the love and care that has gone into making the room worthy of you. Initially I had a strong reluctance to make use of the toilet paper since it would then spoil the fold. So I hung out at the bar and the adjoining restroom for a couple of weeks, until I couldn't stand to drink anymore or hit my expense limit. But all that drinking also affected my work (in a bad way). So then I started to systematically analyze the way the fold was done so that I could replicate it after everytime I used the toilet paper. It was hard work but I perfected it only 3 weeks. And so I learnt a praiseworthy skill and now my home has a little bit of Marriott in it's bathrooms. If you also per chance come across a public toilet stall that has that trademark fold on it's single-ply toilet paper, I had probably used it recently. My apologies if I had forgotten to flush though. Getting caught up in the folding will make you do that.
