It’s an Obama world…
They’re even rationing toilet paper at Coney Island now.

The New York Post reported:

Hey buddy, can you spare a square?

The city is so hard up for cash that it’s rationing toilet paper in women’s public restrooms — to the point where bathroom attendants are doling out a few measly squares per patron — along the world-famous Coney Island boardwalk.

The Post witnessed stone-faced Parks Department employees leave toilet-paper dispensers empty last week and instead force astonished female beachgoers to form “ration lines” in the bathrooms.

Regina Ballone, 25, of Brooklyn visited a boardwalk bathroom at West 16th Street Wednesday and was “grossed out” at the thought of someone else handling her toilet paper.

“Never in my life have I experienced anything like this,” she said. “I walked toward a stall, and a bathroom attendant stopped me by shouting, ‘Hey, mami! There’s no toilet paper here,’ and she whipped out a big roll for me to grab some.”

Beachgoers also have been forced to line up for their paltry allotment of the city’s cheap, single-ply toilet paper at the boardwalk’s other women’s restroom at Stillwell Avenue.

Benedikte Friis and Ann Damgaard, both 22, from Denmark, said they enjoyed visiting Coney Island last week — except when it came to the bathrooms.

“It’s very weird that someone decides how much paper you get because they don’t know what situation you’re in,” said Friis, 22, laughing in disbelief. “You might need more!”

    So the left want to make sure we take it in the a$$ in every way possible, but they won’t even give us the means to clean up afterwards…

    It’s an upside down world when a city can’t afford toilet paper yet can afford to pay a worker to ration it out.

    Imagine how upset the Coney Island welfare recipients must be–they get most of their bathroom supplies from public restrooms. Just as long as Wendy’s keeps their fixin’s bar available, these people will not go hungry and stll can have plenty of napkins to substitute for the t-paper.

    It apparently hasn’t occurred to the city fathers that they just might possibly lay off one “bathroom attendant” and buy all the damned toilet paper they needed.

    But no. This is Nyawk Cit-ay. We’re SENSitive.

    I am Canadian and because I am, I have gone to Cuba many times…. on business and pleasure. This reminds me of Cuba… where they had attendants at all the washrooms and you were supposed to give them a tip or contribution…. I seem to remember something like this from the 1930’s too.
    Ha Ha… maybe this is all part of Obama’s liberation/redistribution philosophy where everyone gets a square…. as long as they have a square to spare.

    I noticed there was not one cut in any of the gears of the NYC police state.

    Money for tyranny, none to wipe your a$$ with.

    Hear that rumble? The pebbles roll down the hill before the landslide lets loose.

    Hey, my husband came up w/ a doozy!! If you can stand it, (and most prolly won’t be able to) take your BM left over/used TP and smear it all over the seat! If that bathroom worker has to keep leaving her station to clean up, or they need a second attendant to keep clearing up BM, maybe the city will get the hint. I would SOOOOOO do that if I went there. I won’t/can’t – live too far away – but the city would sure get the hint, eh? Peaceful, civil disobedience, except that prolly no one thought to make it a law, so folks can’t break it in protest. But it would get the point across in a NY heartbeat, wouldn’t it? (No pun intended LOL!)

    I’m truly sorry for the minority of sensible people who are still living in New York City. It has to be a bruising and lonely existence.

    PAPER?!! What on earth are they doing killing trees to wipe their hindquarters? I specifically recall Mother Michelle telling us in one of her proclamations to use freshly picked arugula leaves (and remember, “rinse and reuse”!).

    Of course, Mother Michelle has a dozen powder room attendants who wipe her with four-ply lotion-impregnated Bounty rolls, but when you’ve got thighs the size of tree trunks and are the entitled First Lady, you gotta make exceptions to the law.

    People laughed when Cheryl Crow made her tp pronouncement a couple years ago. Now that the Gov’t has put it’s employees in control of how much toilet paper you can use to wipe your butt, they will be shocked, shocked! Give tyranny an inch and they will take a mile of toilet paper. Besides, Gov’t has been wiping the butts of welfare recipients for years.

    the nanny state rations your health care, dietary needs, and toilet paper. get ready people next we will get the ration book of coupons for our monthly supply of sugar, butter, and flour. we are fast becoming cuba. this is something that happens in third world countries not america. 2012 can not get here soon enough. vote the “won” and his ilk out so our children and grandchildren can grow up in a country that resembles America.

    I feel sorry for the rest of America. In NYC we have the New York Times for wiping our posteriors.

    Land of the spree . . . home of the slave . . .

    Thank you, liberals. Thank you, Dems.

    To read that this happened to tourists visiting our country, on this weekend, having to be exposed to this sort of ridicousness is embarrassing. New Yorkers should be ashamed! You don’t see the rest of the slope headed nation treating their guests this way.

    You have to pay to use public restrooms all over Europe and in some they also dole out the TP. I saw a free one at a public highway rest stop in France, but it was a hole in ground with no TP in sight and no attendent either. Perhaps we should carry paper in our purses as I did in Europe.
