Some people fold toilet paper. Others scrunch it up into a little ball. Redditor 170cm_bullied, however, has another method — shoving it directly into his rear end.

“I’m 23. Ever since I started wiping myself (7 or 8, way too late — I know) I used to wipe by using toilet paper and sometimes wet wipes all the way inside my anus until the toilet paper has absolutely no stains on it,” the post on r/Confessions reads. “Sometimes there was even blood, and I thought it’s just a fissure/hemorrhoids.”

According to 170cm_bullied, he found out that it wasn’t normal to give yourself toilet-paper enemas after a drunk conversation with his significant other. “I explained how I take so long in the bathroom because wiping takes 20 minutes and I sometimes even clog the toilet unless I flush twice or three time during the entire process,” he details. “I was scared of possibly having stains on my underwear if there’s anything on the toilet paper.”

Now, he says, he has changed his ways, closing the post by explaining that he “can’t wait for my next poop to comprehend how it feels to poo like 99.9 percent of the population.”

It’s unclear how he went this long without realizing this. Sure, you may not have received direct lessons on how to use the bathroom, but the common phrase associated with toilet paper is “wipe,” not “dig down in there like a prospector looking for gold.” At some point, he must have noticed that other people don’t leave the bathroom walking like they’ve just sat on a pole — and yet, he carried on shoving toilet paper-covered fingers into his bum. Incredible, really.

Redditors were similarly incredulous. “When you wipe your mouth when you’re eating, do you put the napkin all the way in your mouth?” asked one user. “Okay but who... who taught you that? Was whoever it was that wiped your ass until you were 7 or 8 shoving toilet paper up your ass?” questioned another.

Others noted that 170cm_bullied should just invest in a bidet (Not today, Europeans! Not until the last piece of toilet paper is pried from my freedom-loving, partially poop-covered hands!). Even more stressed that a thorough clean is normal — just maybe not *that* thorough. A few actually admitted to doing the same thing, leading some to wonder just how many people are walking around with toilet paper lodged in their colons.

For those who need a tutorial, all you have to do in the bathroom is wipe your bottom with toilet paper until it’s clean. That’s it. If you find yourself tempted to poke a finger or two in there, you’re free to do so — just don’t pretend it’s for the sake of cleaning it.
