(
n.) The morbid fear of running out of toilet
paper. From the Greek, literally "absence of paper for hygiene purposes, fear of."
An abnormal and persistent concern about the possibility of being without toilet paper at the vital moment. Highly variable in severity, can range from merely accumulating and storing excessive supplies of toilet paper to at the most extreme end, a need to stock up "just in case" every
time the person goes past a shop, even though the
house is already full of the stuff.
Milder forms of toilet paper
anxiety not fulfilling criteria for the full-blown disorder include obsessions with whether the paper comes off the roll from the
top or underneath, and changing rolls around when they are on the "wrong" way.
(adj) acartohygieiophobic
My acartohygieiophobia is playing up today - had to buy a Super Saver
pack of 24
rolls again.
She's acartohygieiophobic - did you see her checking out all the
rolls in the stalls before choosing one?
