CHARLOTTE, N.C. (CBS Charlotte) – One man made sure a Charlotte motel was going to pay for him running out of toilet paper.

Upset about the lack of toilet paper that was available in his room, a man destroyed $2,090 worth of hotel property on Monday, according to a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police report. The identity of the man remains unknown.

The incident, which happened at the Charlottetown Manor, happened around 10 a.m. Monday. According to the report, the man grew irate after learning he didn’t have toilet paper and proceeded to walk upstairs to a vacant room that was being renovated. Upon entering the room, he proceeded to clog the toilet, causing water damage to the room, totaling about $2,000 in carpet and ceiling charges.

The man would go on to break a blow dryer and several lights, accounting for an extra $90 in charges.

The suspect returned to his room and damaged more property using physical force, according to the report.

The suspect faces vandalism charges.

    Lack of Toilet paper can do that to you.

  • rex dart eskimo spy

    Why trash the place? All he had to do was use a pillow case or curtains.

  • Wild Bill

    He couldn’t just wipe his azz with a towel??? Fine him $2000 for the damages and another $1000 for being stupid!

  • Mannie

    Slow news day?

  • JeddMcHead

    When you gotta go, you gotta go!

  • Scarf

    In my case, I dropped a large, soft paddy in the tub, then wiped off with a big room towel. Of course, I paid cash when I checked in to this rat hole, then vanished without a trace the next morning.

  • Top Shelf FTW

    Next time, “top shelf it” by taking the lid off the toilet and taking a dump in the water tank especially if you’re capable of clogging it to the point of causing a flood. Once “top shelf”, in a few days, nobody can figure out where the smell is coming from.

    I did this the day I got fired at my last job and it took them 6 months to figure it out

  • rmharper

    fireing squad for sure. Pillory his genetic pool.

  • ejay

    Or you can ask the front desk… I am sure they would have been willing to help him out with his lack of TP. Stupid idiot

  • Q Marin

    HAHAHAHA!
    “Top shelf”, you’re a beautiful man!

    Good humor!

  • george

    Your idea makes too much sense. Not likely to happen these days.

  • Sniffit

    So that’s how they do it in the red states.

  • David Maxwell

    Described as “the man” and no name given. Got it.

  • mirted

    sounds like there’s a lot of people who don’t check the TP inventory. In any case, the reactions are infantile. If it’s a low rent motel, the “guest” probably fits in well.
    I do hope they catch the guy and put him to work cleaning toilets at a rehab facility.

  • Bill

    What do you need toilet paper for?? The OWS crowds don’t use it.

  • knightflyer

    Sounds like he needs to join the OWS lefty’s.That way he can relieve himself on a cop car or somebody’s door step.

  • Mr. Bernard Wijeyasingha

    When I was in Sri Lanka, all the hotels were equipped with a shower hose that one uses after evacuation. I found it environmentally sound, personally more clean and lessens the use of toilet paper. I intend to install such a system in my home here in the US.

  • John Fiorella

    Call for room service for more toilet paper… or is that hard for a simple mind?

  • lustybusty

    Another good $hit story

  • stinky stew

    why not just drag your butt across the carpet like the dogs do??

  • Gordon

  • Peteey

    Stinky, I just fixed it for you

    Why not just drag your butt across the carpet like the liberals do??

  • Matthew

    I can see how upsetting this must have been for the man.He would have had to waddel out of the bathroom with his drawrers down below his knees and pull the window curtains down so he would have something to wipe with.He wouldn’t have wanted to use the towels because if the place had trouble keeping toilet paper in stock he may have never got replacement towels to dry with after his shower. Then waddeling back to the bathroom to finish his business he would have all been exposed to the whole world walking buy, and the socialist america’s police states cameras would have got the video and sold it to the tabloids and other departments. Then he would have had to sue for being forced to be exposed nude. Then the Judge for Venturas case for TSA naked body scanners would have said no case and thrown it out. Then he would have had to sue for psychological difficulties and damages and in the end the costs would have been much greater. The man did the right thing since their was no punching bag mounted in his room or call bell button in the bathroom.

  • Bari Shabazz

    Fire the illegal maids that forgot to stock the room with TP. I know they probably don’t use TP in their country but at least learn the traditions where you invade.

  • alanwillingham

    Who travels without taking a small amount of soap, shampoo, toothpaste and toilet paper anyway? Why would anyone willingly allow themselves to be so dependent on anyone else for such fundamentals? Anyone with common sense does not carelessly place themselves in such situations. I even include a few packs of coffee, sweetener, cream, a cup and have a small coffee maker as well.

    Bad journalism. What really happened was that the guy went upstairs to find toilet paper and the toilet overflowed. Then he returned to his room and tried to dry his ass wet from the overflow with the already malfunctioning hairdryer. And now they want to tag him for $2000 in damages? I’ll represent the man any day.

    Rule #1: ALWAYS check the TP inventory BEFORE proceeding further.
    Sometimes I feel there should be signs posted everywhere, reminding some people to inhale and exhale, along with relevant info on which one precedes the other and why. I swear, the older I get, the more I welcome my inevitable passing.

  • moHAMmed Hater

    The motel should hire moHAMmed worshipers as maids. They’ll stock small piles of pebbles on the tank to wipe with. Or they’ll hang signs instructing the proper moHAMmed worshiper’s toilet etiquette of using the fingers of the left hand. No TP? No worry.

  • Jon Lussier

    Thanks to some of you on here. I love a sense of humor. My husband
    woke up kinda crabby this morning. I was reading these comments
    to him and he started laughing his head off !!

    Love the one with the dog and the carpet!! A good laugh is good for
    the soul. Need to do it more often!

  • huh

    How could his identity remain unknown? He had a room at the hotel.

  • moHAMmed Hater

    Convert to moHAMmed worshiping. Then you can use the fingers of your left hand.

Is there any way to reply underneath each cnomemt in one page like in disqus. Like if you are chatting???Thanks

  • Hasnaa

    Toilet paper is supposed to be lluped down from the back. As a science teacher I can tell you WHY this is the correct way. GRAVITY. When you have it hanging down the back, gravity is PULLING the paper in that direction – - – straight down. However, if you place it the WRONG way, where it is coming over the top first – - – - the physics is all wrong. Your downward force has to work much harder to overcome the entropy of that stationary paper laying across the top of the roll.Yep – - – - I’m one of those that this really bugs. Its coming off the BACK OF THE ROLL at my house, baby!!!!We are a silly race of people that these trivial little things worry us so much. But they do and there you have it.

    so before I went sidine the machine. I am guessing that in my poking around I messed up a contact somewhere. If nothing else, I will get new . . . oh wait! Now the cartridges are fine and it is back to having a paper jam! off to run around more. ( My yard family came and started working, but they left while I was out just now. I assume they went to pick up the older boys from school and will be back, because there are Photinia leaves and limbs lying all over the driveway. I don’t think they decided to run off with my magnificent Felcoae loppers that I let them borrow. He nearly fell over in a joyous faint when he started using them, they are so fine.
