A Cruel Design Fault

Our toilets here at work suffer from a distressing design fault. When you flush after use, any toilet paper floating in the bowl balloons up as the flushing water forces air underneath it. The wet paper then traps little pockets of air, which in turn prevent the paper from flushing away: it dances and spins on the top of the water in all of its sh*tty glory and doesn't get sucked away through the pipe.

It is embarassing when you're in the cubicle flushing for the second or third time. They must think King Kong's in there.

More distressing though is when you jump into a cubicle and discover that the previous occupant didn't bother to wait around for a second (or sometimes even first) flush.

I face this every day. Please rescue me.
