Smart people, simple tasks

Seriously, it's not rocket-science.
I work with some highly intelligent people. They’re able to configure computer networks and understand radio frequency data with great ease. Most of them are self-taught, which means a desire to know and understand.

That’s why it’s so odd that most of them can’t figure out how to put a roll of toilet paper on the holder in our office restrooms.

When our office was remodeled, the contractor mounted commercial toilet roll holders on the wall. You know the type, it’s like the Fort Knox of holders. But once the paper is gone and you’re left with the cardboard tube, it’s a matter of pinching the tube on one side and it opens up.

If that seems too difficult, just tear the damn tube off and you can actually see how this non-Einstein invented holder actually works.

Okay, enough of the rant.

It’s always best to look at the bright side: at least there was a full roll of paper sitting on top of the empty dispenser.
