cardboard cling

When the last few slips of toilet paper cling fast to the cardboard roll and even the most gentle attempts to remove for use results in shredding of the tissue. This situation typically happens when the roll involved also happens to be the only roll left in the home, public restroom or other place of porcelain facility use.

Just before my trip to the store the neighbors stopped by, so of course I was a victim of cardboard cling.

Cardboard box

A dull and boring person who lacks an imaginative spark. A person who is not scintillated by life and breaks no rules. He dresses plainly, speaks calmly and is dependable and faithful. He does not have any hobbies or any interests other than earning his bread and butter. He is common, found easily and pleased quickly.

"Oh! Tom is such a cardboard box. He completely lacks intuition, is a bore to communicate with as he has no fresh ideas of his own and peddles out mundane and dull facts all the time."
