then leaving your extras in a neat stack on the table when you leave.

Does anyone actually use these free-range napkins or do we all stay away assuming that they're somehow less clean than the fresh ones we could grab ourselves?

I rarely use napkins, but when I do, I make a point of using the free-range ones first. Waste not, want not, I guess.

They're great if you spill something, but I'm just not man enough to wipe my mouth with one.

if i get a takeout from Boston Market or somewhere I'll grab like 50 napkins from the dispenser, TAKE THEM WITH ME, and use them over time

Napkin dispensers generally haven't been improved upon in a hundred years, I bet....
They fucking suck.
Why can't they make them like tissue dispensers?... or tiny paper-towel rolls?

that, too, has been done. (and they suck if you're trying to hold something while getting napkins)

the Carousel Cinemas in Gboro and Burlington have them

i throw them away with the rest of my stuff. Fuck your planet

7/7/2009 2:44:41 PM

^^^yeah, i'm afraid someone has like injected something in there through a tiny pin hole

but i guess they could just throw the poisoned packets back in the tray thing and i'd be fucked

The places near me seem to stuff all their napkins hella tight into the dispenser

So you can't get a decent wad out without ripping them and getting a frayed mess

Then the problem compounds for the next person; a never ending cycle

i am a big believer in taking my extras home. always find a use for them.

7/7/2009 3:24:29 PM

My dad always takes too many napkins

My mom always leaves the extras on the table

I just put them in my purse.

My roommate and I always grab enough for ourselves. For some reason, our girlfriends always grab a enough for 20 people and they don't like to leave them on the table so they purse them or toss them.
