Tissues? Toilet seat covers? Paper towels? We know these aren\u2019t all made to flush, but those matters are far less important than preserving your pride. As the first moments of panic spread you figure out your space is limited to how far you can reach with your fingers and toes. Yes, grab that roll sitting on the floor of the stall next door with your toesies and hold on for dear life. If you\u2019re feeling SUPER guilty about flushing something you shouldn\u2019t, just wrap it in several layers of that something and place it in the waste bin.<\/p>\n

Ask your stall mate for help.<\/h3>\n

Yes, really. It\u2019s OK to ask the mystery pooper in the stall next to you for a hand (a roll). Here\u2019s the thing, pooping may be mother nature\u2019s most humbling act, but as we all learned early on in the instant children\u2019s classic \u201cEveryone Poops,\u201d everyone does in fact poop, so there\u2019s not need to get too embarrassed. (I mean, yes, there totally is, but calm yourself.) Someday your mystery pooper friend will need someone else\u2019s help, so think of this as a Pay It Forward type scenario. If no one else is there, search the rest of the bathroom for paper products. Pray that you\u2019re not at a vegan restaurant that only uses fan driers.<\/p>\n
